I've just received my replacement e-ink screen from Onyx International. I've installed it and the T68 is working again. Here are some photos of the rebuild process.

Cheers, Warren

Just a quick follow-up. Onyx International sent me an e-mail saying that they had heard from DHL that I'd received the screen, and how did the installation go. So, +1 for good support from Onyx International.

Cheers, Warren

How did you get it? Did you contact them? pay for it? If so how much was the screen?


thanks

They are quoting US$70 + shipping for a replacement screen. Shipping was something like US$30. It took 2 or 3 weeks to arrive.

Cheers, Warren

Thanks much for posting this. It helped me identify the right place to use a magnet to activate the sleep/wake on this device - needing to faff around with that bottom edge button really did make me use this device a lot less.

I'm finding that a small circular magnet placed at about the level of the lower half of the D pad on the long axis of the device, centered between power button and the USB connector on the short axis, lets me sleep/wake the device.
