T68 Replacement Touch panel/digitizer

priyamjani · 08-22-2016, 07:06 PM

I have a onyx boox Lynx which I was taking apart. I was not careful while prying the back cover and broke one of the flex cables. Now the touch wont work. I searched everywhere to find a replacement. All I can find is a replacement screen without the touch panel. My screen is fine. Frontlight works too. Only touch response stopped. So I am only looking to replace the touch panel which I couldn't find anywhere. I emailed Onyx tech support but haven't heard back since 2 weeks. I have attached a picture of the flex cable. If anyone has any experience with this issue, any help will be appreciated. Thank you.

Unfortunately, their 'non-response' attitude is well-documented here at Mobileread.

Don't hold your breath.

I don't know where you buy your device, so for me It's vague, what is the vendor ?

I'm not sure if it is possible to get only the touchscreen. Normally those are somehow glued together.
But there is a russian page listing a lot of devices and the apropriate screens for it:

Here's a link to a site. Whether they have your panel or not....who knows!

https://www.aliexpress.com/wholesale...book+lc+screen

You can email them and do the additional research.

Thank you all for your replies. I have looked at all options from aliexpress. They have 6 inch screens whereas the T68 is 6.8 inch. They have screens for the KOBO aura HD, which is the same size, however, I am not sure if the ribbon connectors are same.
