461376 2006-06-07 09:55:00 Hello, can anyone help me locate a new screen for a HP Jornada 548 PDA?
I have tried with HP who don't service this model anymore as it's too old.
I have tried ebay U.S and have been trolling around the 'net for a few hours with no luck. Even if I could find one that doesn't work, as long as the screen is intact, I'd be willing to buy it.

Thanks

Servicing of such devices was usually "by total device replacement", even when they were current.

Palm PDA's were totally glued together in some series as a graphic demonstration that servicing of PDA's was never considered an economic option.

I think it's a real shame that such a high tech piece of kit such as this should end up going in the bin. It's such a waste. Thanks again. Jim.D (4983)

But the only mention now is from others also looking for a screen!
