Need a replacement 445/450nm Diode

[Nemo222]

Good day everyone

I have one of the Optlaser RGB bricks with a dead blue. I have taken it apart to the bare diode and would like to find a replacement. I don't know too much about it but I do know it is blue (not sure if 445 or 450 but It is NOT 405) and it is roughly 200mw. It is in the 3.8mm diode package, I would like to find a replacement for <30$ if possible. If somebody could point me in the right direction I would be exceedingly grateful. (opt-laser wants 30$ for a replacement plus 30$ shipping)

Thanks for the help.
