Inner OSF LCD cracked, stays off...need a replacement

[Guest dadashi]

My daughter dropped her OSF for the umpteenth time and afterwards the screen went stripey and multi-coloured and and afer a restart it wouldn't light up at all... it won't work and stays dark!

The outer glass cover hasn't even been scratched....

I could see a fine crack running throug the inner LCD so I took it apart without any difficulty...I've taken a couple of pictures but it's hard to get a good shot of the fine crack spltting the inner LCD into two halfs under the thin outer LCD glass...

I need a replacement LCD...Where can I find one...

It was an OLED LCD so there won't be much chance of finding one of those..... anything will do, a normal TFT or whatever...

I can't believe Blade parts or so extremely scarce...absolutely no LCD for sale on ebay or any where on the WWW...

During my search I strolled across iphone 3G screens for £8, Samsung Galaxy LCD sfor £13...But nothing fo the humble Blade....though I found some Blade digitizer screens for £34 on ebay which is a disgrace...

I might as well set my sights on a used Android phone from one of the 2nd hand shops...looks like it's going to be byebye Blade for my family...my sons bought himself an HTC Desire S and I'm waiting to unlock my OMC and sell my Blade....

dadashi, I'm exactly in the same boat, my OLED screen cracked on Friday night. Colours ran for a day and now its completely dead.

The touch worked fine so I know its just the LCD that needs replacing.

Does anyone know of any cheap sources to get one or even a number of OLED LCDs (if we jointly bought)?

Last night a non-working OLED OSF went for £61 + £6 post at ebay...I'm considering just buying a new one at Argos or Orange....
