Hi, sorry to hear about your Bangle... Were you swimming in salt water?
I'd start off by unscrewing the rear cover and checking inside (https://www.espruino.com/Bangle.js+Disassembly) if it's damp I'd take the inner 'puck' out of it and put the puck somewhere warm and dry for a few days to make sure it's totally dried out.
It may be after that it starts working again after that. If not, the LCD is held on by a connector that you can pop off (although you have to dismantle the 'puck' a bit to get to it) - but you could take that off and reseat it and see if that helps.
Otherwise if the LCD itself is broken I'm afraid there's not that much to be done. We did have a bunch of replacement LCDs, but the last set of Bangles we got from the manufacturer were in a terrible state and we had to replace the LCDs on many of them, so we used up our stock.
I believe we do still have some of the complete inner Bangle.js units, but with LCDs that had uneven backlighting that we felt we couldn't sell. So we could supply one of those to you - the LCD wouldn't be perfect but it'd be a lot better than what you have there!
But the ideal thing would be if it dried out and started working again!
