what is a digitizer?

smeg36 · 05-30-03, 08:50 PM

The digitizer is the glass screen over the lcd screen. It recieves the information from your screen taps. Thanks for the postings coolhand. It is good to know someone is out there who knows what they are doing if I ever have the same tragedy that you did.

How much did that set you back (if you don't mind). Also, how hard is it to install?

coolhand · 05-31-03, 12:40 AM

$119 cdn to the door.....install is basicially peel and stick deal....just have to be sure there is no dust between it and the screen..once its on, its on to stay...

Is that what it used to be called? I ended up getting it when the old Windows Magazine when down. I've kept it ever since. Man that must have been almost 3-4 years ago.

How can you put that ugly phone on top of the cool case? :p

05-31-03, 12:51 AM

Whats that LCD screen inside the case?

coolhand · 05-31-03, 12:54 AM

same as the one on the front...matrix orbital lk204-25 pc

the one inside just displays system info, the one on the front displays the same info but cycles through different screens for email, upload/download, winamp info, graphic eq etc...it also controls all the lighting etc...
