    replacing 8" Lilliput touchscreen

    Hi;

    I've damaged my touchscreen panel. It occured after I absent-mindedly used the stylus to rub away some miniscule silicone streaks on the extreme edge of the touchscreen. As a result, if you run the stylus along the top edge of the screen, the cursor veers along the screen in tooth shaped pattern - down/up.

    I've tried to recalibrate both methods, but the panel is having none of it.

    In addition, I managed to inflate the plastic cover off the screen about 3/4 of an inch (the minicomputer I'm building is a sealed waterproof one, cooled by convection - not for in-car use!). I'd forgotten to install the pressure relief before leaving it on for a day as a temperature test, and the only relief was for expanding air to squeeze through the foam mounting tape between the plastic and touchscreen and the silicone seal. Piling a few books on it for a day squashed it back down, and it worked fine... until the silicone incident.

    Soooo... where do I get a replacement panel (don't need controller, just the glass bit)? Comments?

    update

    Armen emailed me the answer... posted fyi.

    "You will need a panel from this kit: http://digitalww.com/8TSK.htm

    Currently they are out of stock but I will be getting some more ... Check back on the website and place your order when you see that the kit are IN STOCK.

    This is going to be the same panel as you have so it will be a direct replacement."
