Broken Touch Screen

[carlsburg]

Hi,

I have just brought a mk3 galaxy tdci zetec. the car was advertised with a faulty dvd / sat nav. the seller saying there was no power getting to the centre console. on closer inspection when i got the car home i found no fuses blown. so with a bit more investigation found that the previous owner has sprayed (yes you did read that right)black paint ovet the touch screen to give the impression of no power...GRRRRRRR. so after the paint was removed i am greeted with a broken touch screen, the lcd display is ok as it is asking me to enter the pin code but i can't input anything as the screen is cracked. does any one out there know where i can get a replacement touch screen, i am happy to fit it myself, i have replaced many screens on iphones and games consols so i think i will be ok with this one. also as i can't enter the pin code I am unable adjust any of the climate controls so i need to get it sorted asap...... I am very happy with the Galaxy its my first one.

any help with identifying the unit will be a great help. i will try and attach a photo...

thanks

Jason

hmmmm i've the exact same touch screen, i suspect you'll either have to find a replacement unit (ebay, scrap) or try and find a replacement digitiser (that registers touch). By the way you mentioned fuses, on my unit the lights on the buttons on the right hand side dont illuminate, do you know if there are seperate fuses for this unit rather than where the car fuses are located?

If your still in need of one I have a unit that I bought for a 2007 car but never got round to fitting it. As I have just upgraded to a 2010 plate I'm looking to move this on and try and get some money back.
