At the right is my Sony Clie in the process of getting it’s digitizer replaced. That’s the old digitizer in the upper part of the picture, the front case at the left, the rear case at the upper right and the working bits in the middle.
\nYou might remember<\/a>, that my Clie TJ27 got run over after my belt clip broke and it landed in the snow back in January. Or you might have a life and not be concerned about my trivial personal problems. Anyway, it was a little crushed, the digitizer was shattered but it still powered up just fine. I found I could order a new digitizer for about $40 from pdaparts.com<\/a>. So I bought one and one for my old Clie S320 that also had acroken screen.
\nChanging the digitizer is a little tricky because it’s glued to the LCD. You need to use an X-acto knife to pry them apart. On the older one the whole processs took about an hour. A few screws, pry the old digitizer off adn stick the new one on. The connectors are a bit tricky, but in the end it powered up just fine. My wife wil put it to good use. (I had thought I’d Ebay it to recoup the cost of the two digitzers, but oh well.)
\nThe newer one was a bit harder. First of all, half of the screws were these funky triwing <\/a>security screws. I guess Sony thought there was something dangerous inside. Probably didn’t want folks trying to change their batteries. A coworker had bought a new case for his son’s Gameboy and it came with a little triwing screwdriver that he let me borrow. Once I got the case apart, the real fun began. In the old one, the LCD and digitizer were held in with one screw, in the new one it’s glued down. In the old one the connectors were completely exposed once you removed that screw, in the new one the connectors were sandwiched between the metal frame and a PC board and because of the way all the connectors are laid out, you can’t completely expose them. In the old one there was only the metal frame holding the LCD\/digitizer assembly, in the new one the LCD\/digitizer frame is tucked down inside another metal frame. The old one was merely cracked, the new one was shattered in dozens of little shards that were hard to get cleaned out.
\nAnyway, I know this is all very exciting. The bottom line is that it was more challenging that I anticipated, but I managed to get it all put back together. Unfortunately, since it’s been almost 3 months, the battery is dead and the charger is at work so I don’t even know if it works yet. I’ll let you know in the morning, well, later <\/em>this morning.
