Sorry to hear about your accident, hope you make a full recovery.
I had a similar problem occur with my 70ct. I bought it for $200 two
years ago. The user was given it as a gift and wanted a dvd player instead
so was happy to let it go just to get him a dvd player. He hated the
libretto because of it's small keyboard and just wanted rid of the horrid
little thing.
Right after buying it as I was heading home, the screen flickered a
bit, and then went solid white. Upon disassembly of the display to examine
the screen to see if it was a loose connector, I found a chip on the back
of the display had a nice little black crusty crater in the back of it.
(sometimes I can just hear Murphey laughing his head off) Well, no more
display. I then found a person on this list who sold me their screen from
their dead libretto for $100. Not a bad buy in total, $300 for a complete 70ct.
I fear you may have the same problem, a dead chip on the back of the
display, or just a loose connector if it's black picture, perhaps a broken
ribbon cable. If so, it'll be a very cheap fix, but not necessarily easy.
BTW, I'm looking for libretto screens that has damage to them. Busted
chips, cracked glass, etc. If anyone had one, make me an offer.
I'm also looking for 9.5mm or thinner hard drives that are under 1gb
from libretto upgrades. I have asked before, but people keep asking prices
for a 500mb drive for what I can get a /new/ 2gb drive of the same form
factor for. Said price is in the $30-$50 range and $10-$20 shipping, I'm
looking to pay $10 - $15 and $5 for shipping.
Thanks,
