I had someone contact me about replacing the screen on their GC2 because the old one was cracked. I have managed to track down the supplier and am discussing buying some from them. They normally have a minimum order of 500 screens, but I think I will be able to do a one-time buy of a smaller quantity. I was planning on buying one or two spares to keep on hand, but wanted to check if that is something that anyone else needs repaired before placing an order. I think the cost would be in the $100-$150 range (Foresight quotes $1000).
There is still some uncertainty as to whether it is something you could do yourself or if you would have to mail me your GC2 to have it replaced because a cable is soldered into place on the display. I will have to see if I can find the cable and add it on, or if I would have to unsolder it from the broken screen and re-attach it to the new one.
If you have a broken screen that you would like replaced, please comment on this thread in the next day or two because I will be placing an order soon. I won't ask for payment up front, but please don't say you want a screen and then back out because I don't want to be stuck with a bunch of screens either.
