Hello Eli! I was wondering if you buy a new screen for replace, is this comes with the FPC cable? I mean, the black one. Thanks a lot!

Thanks so much! It was really helpful! One screen hinge on my nx500 was loose because the two screws holding it came off. They were loose inside the case, and eventually stuck to the magnet on the back of the speaker. So it was easy to find them and screw them back again. My camera is like new again! Keep up the good work!

I’m sorry, but you forgot the last several steps on how to remove the old screen from the screen assembly. One can only find the actual screen replacements for sale, not the whole screen assembly.
