Default RD8000 LCD

Hi all,
I bought a RD8000 early last year and I have been having one problem with it that I thought was normal for the type of display it has. The problem is blacking out in direct sunlight. I've read on some other post that others are having the same problem. I thought that is what happens to LCD's in the hot sun until a friend of mine in our club said that his did not do that. We took both transmitters out into the sun with them turned on. After a few minuets, mine was totally black and his was normal as can be. I know I messed up by not sending it back for service when it was still under warranty. The question I have is, can the transmitter be fixed. Since my friends stays OK in the sun, then I know that something has to be wrong with mine. If it takes replacing the LCD, then what kind of cost will I be looking at.
Thanks for your help in advance.

James
