Hi, do you know if the LCD screen from the Mark II is the exact same as the Mark III? I see replacements for the Mark II being sold, but they don’t say whether they’re compatible.
Hey Solomon I am experiencing the same issue. Did you find out if they are exactly the same?? My LCD screen no longer functions and all I come across online is the Mark II LCD's.
Hi, do you know where I can buy the screen?
Thanks

If you order only panel like me, theres few wery scary parts more. You have to remove couple pcb's, trying get connectors back in and you definetly need elastic glue for glueing screen back.
