Replacing A Damaged MIO KR GPS Screen?

Post by yanKnight » Mon Sep 27, 2010 9:29 pm

I recently moved, and my mio KR GPS seems to have been damaged: the screen is cracked, I see nothing but white and a black spot. I don't mind opening the device, but where to I get a replacement screen? What model?

thanks.

hey!

thanks to whoever moved this into its own thread! I didn't quite know where to post this :oops:

If anyone has an idea of what model the screen is, or where to get it, I'd be real happy... they stopped selling the KR GPS and I kind of like it.

I guess I might have to simply pop it open and try to figure out.

:kitt:

Hi yanKnight,

No problem mate. Unfortunately, I can't help with your problem, but TaoWorm might be able to, as he's done quite a lot of work with the MIO GPS. :good:

Hey sorry I haven't been on the boards in a while.
You will need a 4.3 inch WQVGA Color TFT Touch Screen.
