LCD display for nikon coolpix S9050

Does anyone know where I can buy a replacement display for this camera? I dropped and cracked it. I know it's a cheap camera, but I've seen inexpensive displays for other coolpix models online.

I did a Google search and Ebay search but came up with nothing. I did see screens for other Coolpix cameras as you said you did but zero finds for the S9050. Best Buy has the S9050 for $99.99 if you decide to replace the camera (this price is better than the ones I saw on Ebay). Let me know if you do find a source.

Thanks Ken. I'll keep looking, but I think because it's a new model (and because Nikon is severely restricting it's sale of parts to any but authorized repair depots) I won't have much luck. I've bought a second camera (same one, good price and good zoom), and if I can find the repair part, will then have a backup. I'm a home inspector, I take a lot of photos during an inspection instead of notes, and I go through one or two cameras a year.
