I need a source for the LCD screen. Anyone have a connection?
Where would i purchase the new screen?
You cannot get the screens. I had to get one from a parted device. Best you could try for is finding one the correct size with the connector in the proper place that is 50 pin.
I bought mine on eBay for 15.00.
Could you send the link to where you bought yours
