Question about Broken PDA

Post by electromaster64 »

So this is definitely a Noob question but do most PDA's use proprietary technology to connect their screens/digitizers to the device? PDA's with broken screens are super cheap so if there was a cheap way to get new touch screens they could be made into a cool gaming device. (I just saw a bunch of palm units for $10 with shipping and just had to ask sorry)

Yep. They all use digital interfeces for their screens like Gameboys.

But you could buy one with a dead screen and one witha fried mobo and make a FrankenPDA...

GetHighTech has digitizers (glass tops), LCD screens, or a complete screen with a digitizer and an LCD.

Tell me what model, and I'll see if they have it.
