Replacement for LCD Screen + Digitalizer

---

Hi,

Someone know where can I buy an replacement for the LCD Screen and the Digitalizer?.

I have a Nook Tablet with the screen completely broken and I can´t find replacement (I only find replacements for Nook Color). I´m from Spain and I can´t send the Nook Tablet to Barnes&Noble to repair.

Thanks in advance.

Ebay has digitizer for $90, which in my opinion is way too much considering ipad digitizers are about 30-40 bucks.

Sad to say, it's there isn't enough supply and demand for the nook to justify buying the lcd+digitizer, might as well just buy a brand new nook.

The problem is that I´m not sure that the digitalizer in Ebay are compatible.

I look this one http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...X:eRTM:US:1123 and ask the seller about it. The seller said that is compatible with Barnes & Noble Nook Color. The LCD model in the screenshot of the article apear to be the same that in Nook Tablet.

Is the Nook Color display compatible with Nook Tablet?

Thanks.

This is a very good question- something that you probably have to research, maybe even call B&N nook tablet/color tech support and find out.

Be very careful however, someone might say yes and not really know. To give you some reference, iphone 1/2/3/4 all have different digitizers (even though they look the same). Putting the wrong digitizer can cause some damage, including blowing out your backlight chip- 6r8 coil in my case(I know this from experience :P)

Thanks JRam13.

Probably the LCD+Digitalizers I see in ebay have the same model of screen (the model of the LCD is the same that in Nook Tablet), but the digitalizer could be different and that´s the reason the seller said that is compatible with Nook Color.

I´ll try to find a proper replacement on the Internet or a bricked Nook Tablet (so difficult because I think is an unbrickable device).

Regards.

The digitalizer in Nook Color and Nook Tablet isn´t the same:

There you go. I really don't have an answer to why all these digitizers seem to be different from one generation to the next- I would like to know electronically how they differ. Since a wrong digitizer can kill your coils, it might be a voltage situation.

Not really sure, hopefully you can find out.

Some of the newer nook colors have the same screen as the nook tablet.

Any way to check newer nook color to tell if it has new screen— by serial # , manufacture date maybe? Or do I have to crack open case and look?

OP, did you ever find a replacement screen for nook tablet?

I am very curious to find a replacement as well. Although, is there any way to tell if the digitizer is still in operable condition? My LCD has a major crack across the upper portion. When you try to turn it on, all you see is the massive rainbow effect across the top of the screen. I would hate to purchase the whole thing when just the LCD would suffice? Is that even possible?
