yep..
I have a spare casing too if someone has a use.

Does anyone have any broken screens spare? i found a use for them (see other thread)
They don't have to work at all.

BTW watch out guys, the battery screw is in a stupid place, if you are changing it MAKE SURE you support the screen properly on a flat surface or it will crack

I'm looking for a spare housing for 505. I'd been replacing battery and damaged the wire that connects buttons on the housing to the main uint. It seems not possible to replace the wire alone, so I need a new housing.

Hello, I have a Sony PRS-505 and I am looking for the top silver plate with small white claw inside on the power switch (OR only the small white claw, without the whole top silver plate).
The white claw is in the middle-left position on this photo, between the top and the bottom silver plates: http://www.flickr.com/photos/2172951...7603454047408/
Thanks!

I have the same problem. Replaced the battery but damaged the ribbon cable so have the insides but need a case.

The screens are sold. And given that this thread is about a year old, chances are, the pars may be gone too.

Hi guys, I've given up on trying to find a new screen for my 505, so I'll be giving up the remains for your benefit.

I have:
- PRS-505, silver, fully functional other than the broken screen
Message me with your offers for parts you need.

I also have:
- original poo-color cover
- original Sony cover with light, black

Exclamation Re. broken PRS505
Might not be completely useless, as it seems that some of the Kindles use the same screen.

Have you seen that article about hacking a Sony screen to fit a Kindle? Obviously this would work in reverse.

Normally the screen survives even if the unit is drowned, the panel is pretty well sealed and normally the board shuts down so there is little to no electrolytic corrosion.

I have tried to reverse engineer a replacement backplane but due to the way the screen is constructed the adhesion is "one way" and not repairable.
The segments of e-ink can however be used to make flashing bits if you glue the severed edges with say, silver paint having first sealed the edges with epoxy.
