Kitch, tease much? wink haha

hopefully shipping isn't too bad to wherever you live? i'm guessing you're not from the states



yeah im not from the states. hopefully i been buying some dmg, on the "local ebay" so i have plenty of parts to repair it,

my main question was if i could just replace the screen so i dont have to solder other stuff, but well it seems is too difficult so i will just change the whole part

thanks a lot

@defPremium, yeah i got a new front part i guess i will switch them and put the backlight from the broken one

@kitsch thanks for the advice

@Timbob yeah i heard that it was really difficult to change just the screen, dont think that my soldering skills are nearly that good,

thank you guys, i will just change the front part, and try to reuse that backlight or get a new one smile

Long answer: if you are a soldering guru, you could take out the LCD of another front panel, peel of the back, solder it to the current pcb (which is nearly impossible, but it can be done if really handy.) and install the backlight.

Easier is to just remove it in a new pcb, since you need one anyway.

So, I'd skip the trouble of switching lcd's if you can just put the backlight in another front panel.

so, your alternative is to get a new console and use the screen from there.

reusing the backlight is OK, as long as there is no damage to the backlight.  Any damage will be more apparent because its illuminated.  scratches, dust, bends, etc....  these things all show up severely because of the illumination.

i would find it hard to imagine the backlight survived without being damaged
