The heater is a grid. Let's say you have 10 'stripes' across the rear screen, if you have just one good one, you will get continuity.

Maplin do electrically conductive silver paint for £8. I've used it to repair broken heater elements in the past with good results. http://http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=36275
