[SOLVED] Screen Replacement

tripl3.a · 10-20-2007, 12:49 PM

Hello,

I bought my Zune when it first came out but i had to get it through E-bay because Microsoft still hasn't set a release date for Canada. Anywho i have had past issues with the Zune and when i called them, they told me since i am in Canada my Warranty is Void. Then a couple of months ago i dropped it and screen is cracked. So i went on E-bay yesterday and bought my self a replacement screen but i have no clue on opening the Zune.. i have opened my old I-pods to replace faulty batteries... So anyone got steps?

Thanks in Advance.

I don't think you really need a safe open tool. Things can be substituted as long as they have the general characteristics.
Hope everything goes smoothly!

Yeah, I think you can just use a small screwdriver and be fine.

Nice wallpaper, BTW.

You're welcome! We're here to help. Just reply if you've got any problems!

And Greg might be right... how much is this new screen going to run you? Zune's are going pretty cheap nowadays.

CameleonMK · 10-20-2007, 03:06 PM

Yea, 100 dollars for a new screen or just pay like what...maybe 50 dollars more for a new zune.

tripl3.a · 10-20-2007, 07:30 PM

e-bay..... $30 + $8 shipping.. The guy was in the same state so i got the screen the next day... i am opening it up now

CameleonMK · 10-20-2007, 07:47 PM
