My camera was dropped recently and now no display appears. The camera was in a protective case but hit the ground, just right, on its corner. This looks like a great procedure for repair. However, where would I procure a replacement screen? Do you have a part number? Thank you!

Mijn display in mijn camera was volgens mij aangetast door vocht en was niet meer helder en gebruiksvriendelijk. Met een nieuwe (misschien wel occasion) uit china is hij weer prima te gebruiken. Dank voor de uitvoerige en precieze beschrijving om deze reparatie uit te voeren. Hulde aan schrijver Kris.
