Help,
I've duffed up the LCD on my XDA. The poor thing looks like it is bleading to death.
Anyone know where I can get a replacement? :?

That seems a pretty huge chunk of dosh. I think ebay for someones old XDA may be a slightly cheaper alternative.
Out of interest I have found a company called Proporta www.proporta.com that do screen repairs for £45.
I'll let this forum know what it is they do and if the price is right!
Thanks for your help!

For the record, I have yet to find anyone in the UK who fixes, or replaces these screen. At the rate I am going I am going to start a business doing it myself! Proporta do the touch panel part not the LCD.
OK I'm not advocating this to everyone, but this solution worked for me.
I bought a used XDA of EBAY. Cost me £110, already cheaper than sending mine to the US for a new LCD. I have swapped the LCD out of the new one to my one. (my broken one had 64Mb, the ebay one only had 32Mb) So OK I now have a casing, battery, motherboard and a dead LCD as spares. I will either keep these spares, for my soon to be established XDA repair shop :) or I will sell them on.
It's not the bestsolution, granted, butit did get me back on the road for less than sending mine of to the US.
As for an XDA repair shop here in the UK, I'm thinking quite seriously about it, it wasn't a joke. I just need to nail down a decent supplier of LCD screens!!!
