Yes, there's a ribbon inside you can change. The procedure, IIRC, is described in the service manual. You can probably also find more info in the Apple online knowledgebase. There was an extended warranty for this and other problems with the 5200. I think that one has expired by now, probably didn't cover your 5200/Q630 anyways.
