and I have dissassembled and performed other repairs to a visor. I find them pretty easy to work on, personally, not that I really have the time to take on any "new work". My replacement parts pile is also not extensive but i've never had any troubling ordering new and used parts online.
Please tell me the exact model of yours and I will look up with the display for yours costs. It is also possibly that I can get you a refurb for less than the cost of a hurried repair performed locally. You might want to check price with me before committing to anything.
OK I've determined that you are describing an 8mb model with a monochrome display, which is useful in as much as sometimes I can locate replacement units for less than the cost of a single part.
My next questions are a) what can you afford (or what can't you afford) and b) do you actually use the expansion slot on your visor or if I find a bargain on an equivalent Palm unit lacking that slot, would you be interested?
Doh! I forgot to ask if the LCD itself is broken or just the glass digitizer in front of it. It is virtually impossible for the LCD to break without the digitizer breaking but I know for a fact the reverse can happen.
If you only need the digitizer the parts cost price will be significantly less. As most if not all palm devices will use the same desktop installation I can see no downside to your accepting offers for used units as loaners or gifts pending possible future acquisition of repair parts except that the particular OS revision may limit your ability to use certain software you were using on your old one.
I've been looking but so far I've not located the bookmarks for those companies I've purchased parts for in the past and I'm too disorganized from moving to locate the original invoices just yet.
