I have the same problem and want to attempt this replacement, but I’ll have to try and find another supplier. The shipping on those guys is pricey!

Yeah the shipping was not very wallet friendly. It accounted for over half of the order. Took about a month to deliver. Definitely worth it though vs. a brand new remote!

Hello all, this thread obviously hasn’t been updated in awhile but I wanted to shed some light. I pulled the trigger on a few replacement screens, similar to the one mentioned above; just from a different seller with some better reviews.

I am happy to report that the screen replacement went flawlessly, and has brought back life to these remotes.

The tear down process was a little daunting, just because my fear of breaking the case! Once the shell is off, it’s pretty self explanatory; remove the ribbon cable, remove the screen via clips. The screen is housed in a plastic frame and is glued into place. It was possible to remove it with just force, but a heat gun may have been easier. From there, the new screen went back in, ribbon cable follows, and finally snap the casing back on.

The screens from the original seller I bought from are unavailable now, but here is the same item from a different seller.

I have attached some before and after photos.

Happy tinkering!
