Archos 70 with Broken LCD

[tabletmama]

My son stepped on his Archos 70 in the middle of the night a couple nights ago. The LCD is cracked and it is not unusable. Anyone know where I can get a replacement and try to repair it myself?

You can call Archos customer service.. they'll tell you over the phone an aproximation of the cost to repair. Their # is listed here....

At least you have a reason for yours not working. Mine simply likes to reboot OVER and OVER and OVER, and when it is done rebooting, that is simply because it is frozen. Such a nice system. About to call Archos support myself.
Heck it will not even stay alive long enough to update the firmware...I am so tempted to crack the screen myself...

Mine broke too! It's currently at ARCHOS and they want $187.50 to repair it or they will give me a 25% discount at their on-line store.

Anway to keep things short, I made contact with a LCD seller on EBAY. After a few days they were able to obtain 10 of them - 9 left after I bought one. They're not cheap - $90.00 + $35.00 shipping.

I have a cracked screen and wonder if any one has changed one themselves. Nice system but very fragile screen.
