iPAQ spare parts anyone?
http://www.services.foxconn.com/?pModule=Home
Lloyd W. LiBengood found what has to be one of the more unique Pocket PC sites I've seen in a while. Need a screw for your iPAQ? Buy one here. Replacement LCD screen? This is the place. They sell every part imaginable from the touch screen layer ($27), to a massive 2000 mAh ($88). Too bad Pocket PCs weren't easier for Joe Consumer to crack open and work on - this would be upgrade heaven!

How tough would it be to replace the battery? Obviously the warranty's invalidated, but for a 2000mAh....

Hmm, my 3630's battery is about to give up the ghost and I'm thinkin' that at $52 I'll get a new 950Mah, then I'll get the front and back pieces of the CF Plus Pack and see if I can create a Black SS5 out of my bedragled CF sleeve.... :lol:

Anyone want a green or red stylus for your 3600? Of course the minimum order for the site is $75, so you would need to purchase it with something big.

I noticed they have MAC-color-like sleeves in addition to the stylii.
I expect they might have 39xx LCDs soon...which brings up an interesting upgrade idea for my 38xx...hummm....transreflective screen for $200 (a guess based on their 38xx LCD replacement)...
I hope Times2Tech is reading this...coupled with a RAM upgrade, this could be s-w-e-e-t!
(I'm still using my Jornada most of the time, but I have to admit the 3950 I saw a CompUSA made me drool. I didn't even need my reading glasses to see the screen.)

The screen is the only real reason I would upgrade to a 3900. If I could just upgrade my 3800 screen, I would be all set. (That 2000 mAh battery would be nice too  )

...I agree, though I don't know how much I would really want to do it myself. I have had enough problems with a keyboard I opened the case of...I sure wouldn't want to blow up my iPAQ.

I'd feel very comfortable having the Times2Tech guys make the change...I've received great results with the memory upgrade and screen sealing on my Jornada...
...I don't use a 38xx IPAQ I have around 'cuz I like the Jornada more...but that 39xx screen...ummmm!

I'd love this too, but I can't see how this would work, as the power requirements, BIOS programming, etc., are different for a backlit screen as opposed to a sidelit screen...
