Anyone replaced an Emax screen backlight?

Have been looking at this:

Would certainly be cheaper than buying a whole new screen (which seem to run around 70+). Sounds like you only have to desolder and then solder a couple wires, rather than the whole connection assembly. I guess the screen itself could fail eventually too, but does this seem like a worthwhile (and easy) alternative in the meantime?

Thanks.. but after shipping and what not, that would actually be more expensive than the one on ebay. And it doesn't actually show you how to do emaxes.
