[NTLK] AW: MP2K Broken Screen

I am wondering about the answer they gave you from Euro-ADT.
In february this year they told me explicitely that they do not have LCD screens and so a broken screen would be out of the scope of their repair service.
In view of the fact that they are incredibly expensive, the better choice would be to check Ebay frequently for damaged Newts (with the screen still ok). I admit that it will be much more difficult to get a damaged Newt with not damaged display, than to get a Newt with damaged display and the rest of the hardware still alive, but maybe there is a chance.

Regards
Johannes

Betreff: [NTLK] MP2K Broken Screen

Hello.

I'm sure this is a common question, but I suspect the options are quickly
getting fewer all the time.

My wife has recently dropped her MP2K and cracked the glass. The screen
behind and the backlight still seem to work, but the front glass is shot.

What options are there? We called the Euro-ADT line, but they said it would
be 200 GBP, considerably more than we paid for the used unit. Is there a
place where people are selling off parts of non-functioning Newtons. Or
would it be best to wait for the Display Upgrade?

Any thoughts/pointers would be appreciated. Thanks.
Brian
