2005 radio lights not working

Hello, a while back the lights on the radio on my Ody quit working. The radio display and the radio itself work fine but the "backlights" for the buttons are not on. So at night I have to turn the interior lights on to change the station (or just hit buttons until I find something I like). Are there bulbs in the radio that would need to be replaced? Or if that is to difficult and/or expensive would I be better off purchasing an OEM radio off Ebay for $50-60?

Any help would be great - thank you!

On my Gen2 you could give the dash under the radio a good rap to get the lights to come back on. I don't recall anyone going into the radio to repair any issues and you would want to make sure the radio is seeing the power for the lights before buying another. Most likely the radio itself but good to be sure.
