screen replacement

Hello everyone,

Today, I discovered that my 950's screen was broken.
Now, after all therage, I clamed down and I'm trying to find a solution.
One of them is to find a used/refurbished unit in ebay or amazon, which is possible. The second one is try to contact sony customer center, the problem is that I live in South America, and the 950 wasn't released here, so, is very complicated to obtain a new screen. The third one is to buy a screen replacement in some place and replace it by myself, and that is my main question, Do you know where I can find a screen replacement? (It will be better if someone has proven the quality of a determined replacent)
I found this one http://www.mylcdtouchscreen.com/sony...ment_p535.html. Has anyone tried this one?

Many thanks.

Kind regards.

It won't work, you have a 950 and the screen is for a 900 - they use different technology... 900 has a resistive touch screen and 950 doesn't, it uses infrared beams across the screen surface... different concept, different electronics, not compatible

The only real solution you have is to give Sony a call and see what they can do for you.

Might find used not working 950 reader for sale with good screen. I have found web sites specializing in selling salvaged parts, but have not looked for 950 reader parts.
