visual land connect cracked sreen?

[Rabid1]

I have a similar issue. My lcd is broken. The touch screen is fine, but the lcd is busted.
I just emailed vl to inquire where to get a replacement, but the tablet does not look at all serviceable.

Anybody have any input?

Actually the LCD can be a little easier than the touchscreen. If Visual Land has no advice or price, you can disassemble the tablet and get the numbers off the LCD screen. LCD are more generic than the actual digitizers.

... you can disassemble the tablet ...

This unit doesn't seem very servicable, but if you have any tips on disassembly, I would really appreciate it.

I couldn't find any info on taking these apart.

Not having a unit all I can say is most tablets have a tight seam that runs along the screen, back, or side. Google "disassemble android tablet". Read a few of the different one to get an idea. For separating the case one of the best things is a guitar pick. Amazon also has really cheap tool kits, usually under iPad or iPhone repair.

The idea is to gently press in and pull out , working your way wound the case as each clip pops. Go easy to avoid breaking clips, and look for any screws that might hold the case together.

Awesome, thanks.

VL support just got back to me and offered me a replacement tablet for $65.

Thoughts?

Actually figuring what a replacement LCD might cost + shipping + time saved monkeying around, that is a really good deal.

I thought so, but I just wanted to check it against someone else's opinion.
