x5 outer touch screen cracked

[tysn]

my lcd still works the outer touch screen cracked when due to my stupidity i put my wireless adapter in the same case as my pda. i zipped it up and opened it up later to find my screan cracked, is there a way to fix the outer screen ?

The good news is that yes, a company such as PocketPCtechs.com or PDAparts will sell you a new glass screen. The bad news is that the cost is $99 + or more if you mail in a repair. A home repair is not easy as you have to use a very thin knife to cut the adhesive between the two parts of the screen which is not easy to do at all.

A complete new screen assembly will cost you $150 or so.

At these prices a repair is not economical as you can buy a good second hand off ebay for a lot less.

Perhaps a good time to upgrade ??

You can also sell your broken screen X5 as a unit with a good board on ebay.

First I don' know if it's compatible, but if it is, I got a X3 with the base connector broken and I'm not fixing it because I bought an X51v, everything works ok, includes Dell original leather case and charger. Offers accepted =)

Yeah at this point if I ever broke one of my X5's I think I'd just get another one off of ebay or upgrade to a x51v..theyre going for around 150ish..not quite sure I want to get all the add ons again though..

I got my 300 mhz one mint condition for $35 bucks locally...but then again I guess it is a 5 y/o device
