Just installed new lcd from ebay. The seller's ID is gtshokoor. Not sure how long it'll last but so far so good. Cost is $45 shipped and took about an hour of my time and I'm not a pro at soldering.
Awesome! Looks great! How hard would you say the job was? Did the old solder come off easily?
On scale od 1-10 I'd say 5. Not too difficult. Only roadblock was taking the old LCD out. I used a hairdryer to soften the glue. Desoldering and soldering was easy it just took awhile because there were so many pins.
I find the easiest way to remove the old LCD is to cut the old one out by cutting each connecting pin with a pair of precision wire cutters,then flick the remaining pins off the solder pads with the soldering iron then finally clean the remaining solder of the pads with some solder braid/wick.
Sorry if the terminology is off guys this is a Brit posting.
