I managed to source a LED light strip replacement from Ali. It was just £7.
It arrived very quickly from China and was very well packed.
In their listing on Ali, they state you should adjust the resistors in the driver circuit, but my finding was it worked from the off (maybe they were futureproofing for when the new LEDs will eventually go)

I can confirm it works. I did notice, however, that when you crank up the brightness to the very top, it seems to have a flicker.
WARNING:
The plastic strip that runs parallel with the old LEDs gets very brittle and can crumble easily. I had to glue mine back in at the far tip.
My big lesson from this was BE VERY CAREFUL when putting the LCD back into its resting place! One of the 4 protruding LED driver circuits flipped right back. Result: 1 quarter screen is messed up!
