Tomtom 520 touchscreen replacement

[warmfuzzies]

Looking to find a replacement touchscreen for the broken one on a TomTom go 520, but drawing a blank thus far, so have come to the font of all knowledge for an answer......any clues chaps.

Thanks

Kevin.

You're only supposed to blow the bloody doors off....

Not very helpful, anyone any sensible ideas apart from sending it back to tomtom for repair.

Even if you did get one, I would imagine its probably quite difficult to just swap them out.

Send it back or maybe...upgrade time?

It will be a screen used in various TomTom models - you should find out which models share that screen, and do a search on Ebay for them.

They're normally dead simple to replace, I've done the screen on my phone, only a couple of cheap tools required.

I've done a search on Ebay, the only ones available are new from Italy or Germany and are £95+del, or secondhand at £49+ del etc, I have it all in pieces on the desk simplistic stuff when you know how, I'm really looking to see if anyone apart from Samsung in China can get me a new one at a reasonable cost. The Samsung model no: LTE400WQ-E01-0BS I don't read chinese much, but their websites are a bit clunky, hence the question to the font of all knowledge.

Thanks

Have a think about similar devices that may use such a screen. Its unlikely that Tomtom have had one designed and manufactured just for them, more likely they bought one off the shelf.
