Any idea where I can get a set or replacement screws? one came out of my LCD joint and I can’t find replacements anywhere online. I’ve even tried Ebay.

I’ve ripped 2 of these before - not fun! Still… cheap enough to buy but delivery took a couple of weeks.

I had a cracked screen so had to take this out to replace as well - problem i’ve had is that although i stuck it down really well (with 3M 1mm double-sided tape, it doesn’t hold great and so the screen has risen a bit and doesn’t sit flush.

Just in the process now of sticking it down again but with a touch of superglue as i need it to hold down a bit better - that should hopefully be me done then :)

Great guide by the way KC Egger - thanks for taking the time to put this together - it’s been a life saver for me!

Where did you purchase your screen, I’ve been trying to find one from Sony parts dealers and can’t find it. Any links would be helpful, thanks.
