It looks like DIY disassembly and screen replacement is about the only hope for this. Is this advisable, or even possible?
I don't know if it is worth it. (Assuming you are in the US) you can buy another Aura 2 on eBay for $75 or buy the newer model, Nia from Walmart for $100.

Considering what happened, you might also look at the H2O: $75 on eBay.
