Broken Screen
Help!!! Accidently sat on my Jetbook yesterday and broke the screen. I've only had it 2 weeks, and I love it, but I'm trying to locate a source for the screen. Searched all over the Internet yesterday trying all kinds of combinations on the screen type, with little or no luck. Anyone have ANY idea where I can locate a screen for it?
Thanks, Dan |

I think your best bet is to see if Ectaco can replace it for you (for a fee, or...?)
But, here's a link to the manufacturer's site. http://www.tmdisplay.com/tm_dsp/en/index.html Hard to find the exact display in their catalog! I'm not even so sure that it can be ordered except in mass quantities. Maybe you can find a used Chinese reader or something and swap out the screen yourself. |

Thank You!
Kralik, thanks so much for the info, never thought about looking for a used Chinese one, but that's a great suggestion.
And I'm checking out the link to the LCD maker's sight even as I type. |

Broken screen = permanently dead
Tried every avenue I could think of, but no luck. Removed my books from the memory, removed the battery and the rest is now history.

Decided to go with a new SmartQ 7, much less expensive and much more functional, and I don't have any problems with reading an LCD. Plus it'll be nice to read magazines & comics in colour. Thanks for the thoughts, Dan |

Darn! I broke my screen this weekend too !!!!
Dropped it on a tile floor from the arm of a chair. Didn't make any noise or anything. Seemed like a mild fall, but when I picked it up the screen was broken!! So sad !! |

Did these dropped Jetbooks have covers?

Mine did!
I had mine in the case (ALWAYS keep it in the case!) when I sat on it, but that didn't help. Just not made to take 200+ lbs of me.
