I just recieved a Z700 prototype with a faulty screen, I would really like to fix it if possible. The screen may be the same as the T68 but I'm not sure. The problem with this one is when you take the screen apart you can see that the thin plastic ribbon to the backlight has broken, not sure if this is the only problem or not.
Does anyone have an idea how I might fix/replace this?
Thanks

Well,i dont really know to fix the screen. but can you describe about the phone?
Posted by sidneylopsides
Sure, what would you like to know?
Posted by shyam335
Well,i want to know the features looks and all the stuff,im curious

Features I can't tell you about yet, as I can't see anything
Looks wise it's pretty nice, compact and not too heavy. It is a matt white colour, the styling is very clean.
It looks like it has a speakerphone round the back, jogdial is a 5-way like the P800/900. The keypad layout is odd, 4*4. Has a standard 2.5mm jack on the right at the top.
The inside of the case looks like they were going to add IR, there is a mount for something and connections on the mainboard. As far as I am aware it does have Bluetooth though.

what kind of screen does the phone have exactly?
Posted by sidneylopsides
As far as I know it is a 256 colour 101*80 screen, not totally sure yet. Looking at it I think I need to repair the ribbon that powers the backlights.

yeah some prototype with a 256 color screen

yeah a two year old prototype

Yeah, it was to be released about two years ago, based on a Sony Z7 but with more advanced features. I wanted it cos it never got released, but that makes repairing it more difficult.

when did they come out with the better screens? wasn't that in about '01?
anyways, maybe you can pirate the screen from a t300 and make it work...
I'm not sure :-/
