Saved me $50 and a long wait for the new part to come from the US! 
Kudos to iOptron: they responded very quickly!
They also said there was no need to do a firmware upgrade, which is a good thing because I use a Mac, and that is a job for a PC!
All now seems fine, so fingers crossed.

Hi Dean,
Good to see you got it sorted. I've had this happen before to one of my remotes , I dropped it and 2 leds stopped. I replaced the diffuser board and all was good again. Since then I've been able to replace the faulty leds and repair the broken diffuser so now have a spare.
As you have 2 out of the 3 working and are satisfied then all is good for you.
Yes no need to upgrade any firmware if you are satisfied that it's doing what you want .
Happy viewing.
Cheers
Graham
