Cracked Gigabeat f20 screen
« on: August 07, 2007, 11:05:57 AM »
Hi. I cracked the lcd screen on my gigabeat awhile back. the backlight still works it's only the LCD that is cracked. Does anyone know of any possible way i could get ahold of a new screen?? Does anyone have a wrecked gigabeat lying around that still has the screen intact? or is there anyway i can buy one wholesale over the net?

To repair it thru Toshiba after the warranty is up will cost about 120 GB pounds!! an amount i am not willing to pay!!

Any help will be greatly appreciated

thanks in advance!!

You can usually get broken/repair-only Gigabeats on eBay for pocket change, but it's a matter of finding sellers that ship international.

I don't have a Gigabeat, but I'll keep this guy's link for the day I buy one. Thanks!
