That's a good tip for reattaching the ribbon with a bit of plastic straw and tape, thanks. As to the screen, the cheapest i could find was US$22 for the complete LCD screen [the digitalizer only about was about US$8, but i needed the whole thing]. Then about $5 for the battery and the problem of repairing the mo. Not worth it 'coz i got a near pristine 260w with a good battery for less than $15. Advertised 'for parts or not working' but when i got it all it needed was a hard reset and fw upgrade so i haven't repaired the old one, i'll keep it for parts instead.
