Help with removing the case surrounding the screen

[jvoelcker]

I am having probems with my touchscreen and want to pull the case off it so that I can check connections.

The service manual states that after having undone the screws along the bottom edge of the screen that you should use a screwdriver to push into the hole in the bottom left hand edge of the screen case to release the catch to separate the two halves, but pushing the screwdriver in there doesn't seem to release anything.

Has anyone here managed to dismantle the screen and have any tips on how to do it?

:lol: youv'e probaly sorted by now
anyhow ur need to obtain a plastic ended screwdriver (unless you fancy damaging case) insert at join wilst using a fine screwdriver, gently push in hole lever outwards while prising and i'tl 'pop' out do same at other end and use plastic srewdriver to pop open along join all around until it pops of.
had to change screen on mine took about 25mins total, advise u use anti static wrist band (lot of sensitive stuff near screen).

:lol: i brought unit off ebay (internally damaged) for the screen (lucky). theres a taiwanese company, selling them, but not seen on ebay for a while, if you look through archives theres also a usa company, but only repair.

Hi,

Just had an MDA Pro screen replaced by these chaps in Wimbledon:

Cost quoted was about £110 +VAT + Postage fitted, or £90 +VAT for the part on its own. All in, the screen, including fitting, was not much more than the screen on its own from ebay.

Posted to them on Tuesday at 16:45 and received back on Thursday at 08:45. Working beautifully again.

May be worth a try.
