I just shattered my Lilliput, am I screwed? :( :( :(

Hey guys, I could really use some advice, i'm almost ready to cry.

After about a month of battling technical issues, motherboard issues, screen mounting issues, video card issues, and just general crap, I just shattered my brand new lilliput screen.

About 6 hours after Superglueing my specialty made mount to the back of my radio trim, I loaded my screen in and screwed it in. Today I noticed it had somehow moved up about an 8th of an inch, being completely off centered and looking absolutely terrible, and apparently some of the glue wasn't dry (jesus, how stupid) and it was glued into place. I tried to move it down to where it should be, and in doing so, just destroyed the glass part of my screen.

It seems that the lilliput screen is composed of a plastic coating, then glass underneath. This glass has completely shattered.

Do I have any options now, short of purchasing a new screen for 250 dollars?
I've got a crappy job now, a car with no interior until I figure something out, and a baby on the way. I'm not sure I can handle another hurdle.

Someone please tell me I have an option.

Sounds like all you shattered was the Touch Screen panel. DigitalWW carries a replacement for $50. They work like a charm.

It does indeed look like I messed up my touchscreen. I just took it off and it seems the screen is undamaged, which is some good news. I think things will be ok... God, I hope.

I'm going to see if the screen is broken by hooking it up, now, before I order a replacement TP.

Thanks for the info
