I'm (somewhat shamefully) looking for a new front PCB (preferably with the film already removed) for one of the 2 DMGs I (rather unsuccesfuly) tried backlighting.

I'm willing to trade:

- one of the dead front PCBs (which can likely be repaired, I just lack the tools and steady hand to do it)

- A tested and working back board (DMG-CPU-05) and back shell (no battery cover as the little stub broke)

- and a slightly yellowed, cracked front shell (which I guess can be taken care of by drilling for an RCA pro-sound, effectively removing it.

If a trade can't be done, is ~20 bucks a good price? (shipping included)


EDIT: I hate getting BBcode wrong.

What is wrong with the dead front PCB?  What exactly did you do?

Edit:  I just looked at the rest of the pictures on that flickr link...  They're blurry and hard to make out but if you did what I think you did, I believe that can't be fixed.  If I had a spare front PCB, I would remove the film for you (I just did that for someone else last week) but I don't have a spare.

I apologize for the blurriness of the pictures (It's a high res camera, but the pictures are always blurry)

On one front PCB, the part of of the horizontal ribbon cable that connected to the board came loose and I think you can very carefully solder those back to the board, however on the second, and most recent attempt, two traces on the bottom brown ribbon cable came off and that's completely irreparable.

If its a hi-res camera and it still comes out blurry, hold the camera further from the subject and zoom in. Some cameras won't focus if you're too close...

As for the damage to those boards, I wouldn't be able to fix any of them or finding it worth it to try.

Thanks anyway.

Someone else might be able to do it but I'm not that good at soldering or patient.
