360 Question about repairing screen

mcrmama · 01-02-2011, 03:12 PM

My screen broke on my PB360. I was plugging it in since it had frozen (once again) and it slipped out of my hand. It landed case first and at first I thought it was okay but when I got it turned on again, I realized it was broke. I decided to get a 6 inch reader locally with touch screen so did replace it but was wondering if it is worth fixing a broken screen. I had thought of maybe doing this and passing on the reader to my 9 year old son at some point. I would need to upgrade the firemware I think as I was having issues with it freezing quite a bit and he would not like that. I had 15.1 I believe.

Thanks,

Jodi

Check with PB support to see what the current pricing is.
When I had the same problem in oct it was $125 vs $169 for a new reader.
If the holiday sale is still in effect ($129)...
