I may have been premature in declaring my radio dead. Further investigation revealed that what I had broken was the back light assembly. The display rests on top of it. The LED is on the side post and the side post appears to have been glued to the part of the back light that runs under the display. So I made the "executive" decision to complete the mod and reassemble the radio. At this moment I'm waiting on some Oogoo to set. Once that's done and I get some final pictures taken I'll put up a post about the whole process.
** Edit **
Just tested the reassembled radio. Guess I was worried about nothing. The display worked, the backlight worked, and the transmit/receive LED's worked. I haven't tested the wires I brought outside the radio yet, but they are attached to the receive LED, and I ohmed them out before I put the case back together so they should be good.
