C'mon man, see my post and link above. Call VST, that's where I got my replacement screen...

I was looking for options, but good looks....( something closer to NYC )

I'm pretty sure they'll ship it out to you.... Be warned though that the screen is one of the more difficult parts to replace. No sautering or anything, but delicate and a little awkward when putting the screen unit back into place. But believe me, if I did it, you can do it.

I bought a perfectly working 2000xl w/upgraded ram for $300 because the guy thought the screen was broken! and ofcourse it was the contrast.

That's cold-blooded. I dont know if I could bring myself to do that to someone. I guess thats their bad though for being a dumb sh*t and not looking at this forum first....haha

i have the 2000 it's diffrent from your display i lifted the connecter up top the ribbon came out itself so am i still safe and i wondered if you knew how to fix a sensor pad i'm having problems getting the connector on top to come loose so i can seperate the ribbon.

I never worked on the 2000, just the XL. Sorry man.

Wow, really nice thread... Thanks for your work..

I have a question concerning the casing of the LCD..the LCD itself works perfectly...

The glass on my casing is broken...If i'd get a replacement, would i have to do all the stuff described in the original post, or can i just do this without having to open up the mpc?

greets,
Mike
