Hi All,

Well I got my scroll on saturday :D and knocked a wine glass on it last night and crakced the screen :cry: . So my question is does anyone know where i could get another screen from? I have tried some google searches to no avail..... are there other brands of tablets that use the same hardware?

Thanks for your help.

John

Maplins sell a replacement screen it comes with free metal case and circuit boards for a resonable £129.99 :? ;)

Contact SO themselves, they should have access to spare parts, if not, i'd go with the house insurance route.

thanks for all the replies guys.

I think i'll go for that offer detection, if you pm me your details i can paypal you or send you a cheque and give you my address. (ill probably end up with two broken scrolls but worth a try)

Cheers

John

Might be the best course of action John. Theres a thread on disassembly at viewtopic.php?f=27&t=434&hilit=disassembly

The only real tip I can give you is "take your time". Ive had mine apart twice, and the front screen is dodgy to get off, dont try and force it. I used a "Nokia opening tool" to get the screen off, I doubt you'll have one but it looks like a very stiff guitar plectrum with thinner edges
