Tytn II screen replacement cost !!!

[viewedit]

It costs 142 US dollars for screen replacement in India's service center.
plus servicing charges of 20 US dollars.

If I sell this tytn II as a used piece (after replacing the screen), it will fetch me 300 US dollars.

Why the hell is this screen so expensive.
when will HTC stop looting WM lovers.

You'll find them for about $80 on ebay. LCD's have always been expensive, nothing new...

you tried ebay mate?

however, if you do get a screen, do not try and install it yourself, let someone experienced do it as HTC's are difficult to take apart and put together, trust me, i learnt the hide way trying to install a screen on my old Artemis....

Bah, its not that hard!! Just follow the instructions of Mike Channons page, hes got all the service manuals. I've had devices completely to pieces and re-assembled them using those instructions. Its all good as long as you follow them exactly (and have a really tiny torx). You've gotta learn somewhere! ;)

I need to replace a customer's TYTN II LCD. Another phone shop in my city (Brisbane, Australia) says they can sell me a screen, but they need to know the serial number of the broken screen because apparently, there were 20 different LCDs used in the TYTN range and I have to install a new LCD with the same type of serial number.

Questions:

1. is this correct?
2. I was very close to buying from blackberry8100parts.com but it looks like they only sell within the US. Anyone got them to sell internationally?

I plan on buying the screen from ebay, unless someone can convince me otherwise.

I wouldn't believe 20 different screens, but for many HTC phones (Blueangel, Wizard,..) there were each time 2 different possible screens indeed, not compatible of course. Don't know if it's also the case for the Kaiser.
