Re: A very sad story...
On the Wiki, http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Neo_1973_hardware#LCD_Module_.28LCM.29 it says the LCD module is a TD028TTEC1 Just Google it.. there is 2 Chinese company selling it... You can find it also on eBay for 309 RM (Malaysian ringgit) which is approx : 90$ (http://cgi.ebay.com.my/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemitem=290224409238) Maybe someone that know better than me can confirm the screen would work on the FR.

Re: A very sad story...
There's probably a few people here that have dead phones with other faults. Maybe one of them could sell you a dead phone cheap and you can swap the lcd panel with your phone.

Re: A very sad story...
From what I can tell on the wiki, both the Neo 1973 and the Neo Freerunner use the same LCD. Finding someone willing to part with their Neo 1973 -- or finding someone with a dead 1973 (but good LCD) is probably not going to be a difficult task.

Re: A very sad story...
That certainly sounds better than any of the other options I have been researching. Is there anyone out there that has older Neo 1973 hardware (with a functional LCD display) they would be willing to sell or get rid of? Or even perhaps someone with a dead freerunner?

Re: A very sad story...
guys -- you are very kind but that is sad that there is no official OpenMoko parts store -- it is like having opensource OS where you can't unload a driver and load a new one - what good opensource hardware gives you then if you can't replace it? (please don't follow up disgusting this statement ;-)) Dear Steve could you please research an ability to come up with some little store for parts -- or in the worst case ask someone to come up with a wiki page listing vendors selling parts (or compatible) which were used in openmoko's phone. Selling accessories (2.5 - 3.5 mm audio connector, USB host hub, finger stylus, etc) would be a great plus as well -- nobody yet sure what reasonably priced 2.5 - 3.5 works in the phone, thus since point of 'sell' (or information in the case of wiki page with links) would be great!
