Anywhere to get a reasonably priced replacement touchscreen for x3i?
I broke mine a little less than a year ago (long story) and I was wondering if by now there are any more affordable replacement options than the $160 one from that one site by this point, or if anyone has one they'd sell, perchance? Thanks...

I am assuming from your post you only need the digitizer and not the LCD.

PDAparts.com has one for $60.

PPCTechs.com can replace it for you for $120 if all you need is the digitizer and not the LCD.

jpmarth is correct. The going price for just the Digitalizer/glasstop is $60. The complete replacement (Digitalizer/glasstop & LCD) is about $140-160.
Here is an additional site for parts.

how do you go about replacing your screen? I'm not sure whether my digitizer is broken only or whether the whole thing needs replacing.
By the way, does anybody know a UK supplier of replacement screens?

www.proporta.com has a repair service for Dell PDAs (X3 and X5 only i think) might be worth a shot
