Default HP 3581A LED digits not lighting

Hi,

I have a 3581A that was working a few years ago when I purchased it
off eBay (yes, yes, I know).

I went to power it up recently (not having powered it up for about a
year) when
I noticed that the inner two LED digits are not lighting. I'm not
talking about
missing segments, but the inner digits not working altogether:

Working the frequency control I can see the lighted digits changing,
but that's
all.

Is this a repair that is straightforward? I consider myself handy.
Otherwise,
any tips/advice on where to have this thing sent for repair?

Thanks,
Chris

Can't be much..
most likely a cable header connection.
