sounds like you do need a new screen, unless you can somehow get the backlight from the rest of the LCD. You can buy the screens from here

check Youtube for videos. They have a few showing how to remove the backlight from behind the screen. It's just a tiny LED mounted to the board. I haven't found anywhere that I can buy a replacement LED so I just haven't bothered opening mine up yet.
