    New screen will probably cost more than the printer, buy something that works.

      I agree. Those Gen 2.5 smart panels are EXPENSIVE. I replaced one a while back for a customer that broke theirs and billed them almost $3000 to replace it. Of course that is retail price, our cost is a lot less than that.

        I mean if you are a dealer and you come across these machines often, you can always swap the display with a higher count machine down the road.

        If it works, don't touch it.

            SLIM I doubt ripping apart a OP PANEL is something this guy is up for.
            I think he is more an end user that found a sweet deal..
            The thing to find out is what other models cross over on that OP panel and maybe buy a used pull.
            He is in CHILE so shipping might get pricey........
            Send me a few cases of vino tinto and i will find any parts you need.........

                  Are you SURE its just the screen that is broken, is it cracked?

                  The machine could have other damaged parts you CAN'T see.
