the vdu is backlight with leds built into the pcb mate. you "could" replace them but ye gods itll be a t***!

dont suppose anyone knows what voltage they are?

carl was looking into repairing one... but i think after looking at it he gave up as they are so teeny weeny the soldering will be a swine. You could ask him if he knows.

yours gone awol or something?

you could check the voltage with a multimeter over the contacts.

Im a mech' guy, not this lectricky. All i know is when the magic smoke comes out, it stops working

Yeah they are surface mount LEDS, and you have to seperate the LCD display from the PCB along with the contacts... I was messing with a faulty one with the idea of changing the backlight colour, but decided it was too much hassle and didn't want to risk buggering up a good one.
