Default Re: How to replace Jornada 568's digitizer?

I have picked up another 568 that isn't working, but with a digitizer that works. Does anyone know how to replace this component? I haven't ever opened up a Pocket PC and I'll only have one shot at this. I want to do it right.

Thanks!

This is definately possible I replaced the whole screen on my 568 some time ago and have also seperately replaced the digitiser more recently (okay so I am hard on screens!).

That said, as you are in the US and have the PocketPCtechs option, I think it would definately be worth finding out how much they would charge you. It would certianly be worth $50 or so to avoid the hassle and possibility of further damaging you 568.
