you should always look for the same ribbon color for replacement.. I guess your pda2k has a gold ribbon while EVDO sometimes silver...

Do you mean it can't be replaced by a pda2k screen totally?

Thanks.

From what I understand of the construction of the BlueAngel (PDA2K), both models are internally "effectively" the same. It is only the radio device which is different between the two.

Having said that, it should be entirely plausible to swap the display between the two devices - although you do need to ensure that it is compatible with the video board (driver) in the PDA2K.

From memory, the panels I've seen in the BA are ones made by Toppoly, and Sony. The core driver chip should be an ATI one in all BA's. If you have a different chip (doubtful), or yet another panel manufacturer, then you might want to double check things.

Gut feel says it should be as simple as swapping the two. Good luck on the repair!
