Replacement process fiddly and not quite as advertised

Posted by Unknown on 8th Dec 2010

Delivery to UK was excellent (<10days) and item well packaged. There are no real instructions with it, just a request to pre-test prior to installing but no guidance as to how to do this (needed strong light behind display to determine if it was working). The item supplied is just the screen without back-light. This has to be de-soldered from the old screen and re-soldered to the new ... this requires the soldering of flexible printed circuits .. be very careful. Advert states 'no soldering required' so this is wrong. All functioned well once repair complete.
