Re: Spare Screens
Hi Chris, Sorry to hear of your predicament. There are a number of repair centers that have sprung up around the US. ( http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Directory_of_repair_centers) All of them have screens available, but the OLPC-recommended price point is seventy dollars. Try contacting some repair centers privately and they may be able to offer you a free, or at least steeply reduced screen. You could also try the developer's program and receive a new XO.

RE: Spare Screens
Chris, I can't vouch for the company as I have never ordered anything from them, but http://xoexplosion.com http://xoexplosion.com/ sell screens for $70 in their spare parts section. They seem to be out of stock at the moment though. Kind regards, Josh _ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Chris Barrett Sent: 28 July 2008 17:33 To: devel@lists.laptop.org Subject: Spare Screens I realize this is the Devel list but since this list was so helpful when I had sound problems, I was wondering if anyone reading this could point me in the direction of acquiring a new screen for one of my G1G1 XOs. The old one's ribbon cable has stripped and now is unserviceable, naturally this is a predicament as I can't easily fix the ribbon cable (I have tried using a silver impregnated resin, but the leads are far too small). Is there anywhere I could contact that may be able to free one up for me? I realize this is a tall order, thanks for any help in advance. -- Regards, Chris Barrett ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
