I have a Sharp Carousel microwave, model R-305EW and
the timer/display has developed a problem: part of one of
the LCD-style numbers no longer lights up.

Is it costly to replace the display on this unit? Is it a
relatively easy job for a handyguy with average skills?

Maybe just a bad solder connection.
