Re: GTA02 Screen broken..
I ordered a new LCD from goldelico finaly. But i'm wondering if in the spirit of first PC-era specs could be published so there were more alts, eg: a more low-cost low-res display. (to be frank the LCD costs 58€. The vat, and trasport fees pump up the final value to 80€). alexandros. ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

The LCM has LCD controller and 4-wire resistive touchpanel, all integrated into one FPC to connect to mainboard. You'll hardly find a drop-in replacement that even uses same controller. /j -- () ascii ribbon campaign - against html e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org - against proprietary attachments ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

GTA02 Screen broken..
After my baby came into the world chaos is visiting my workroom more frequent and entropy's level is critical :-) Trying to move a mouse's cable created a cascade effect to a dozen of other cables behind my tower including the usb cable connected to my beloved GTA02. You can see the result in the attached pictures. The fall was half a meter. The neo hit ground landing on other cable. The screen didnt hit an object's angle or corner. So my non-technical guess , for what its worth ,is that it must happen from the shock of the impact to its case. There is no fractures on the screen's glass . It seems that the fracture that's visible on the screen is on a layer beneath. The touch screen is functional ,even on the part of the screen that's messed up. alexandros attachment: 2013-05-28-212010.jpg___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

Re: GTA02 screen broken
there is a very good description in the GTA04 Manual: http://projects.goldelico.com/p/gta04-main/page/Manual/ It's the same procedure on the GTA02!

Re: GTA02 screen broken
My GTA02's screen is cracked. The display is still very good, but the touchscreen is unusable, making the whole device unusable. Does anyone have pointers as to where I could find a replacement (what hardware should I be looking for)? Thanks to all your help, I now have a replacement screen, but I'm wondering how do I go about doing the actual replacement. Does someone have some kind of instructions to guide me through the process? Are there particular things to look out for? Or do I just unscrew whatever seems to get in the way until I can take out the screen?
