Reliable place to buy a Xoom Family Edition Digitizer

[usna93]

Has anyone found a good place to buy a replacement digitizer for the Xoom Family Edition? I've fixed many Xooms but just bought an FE that is pretty much mint except for the crack which renders the upper right part of the screen non-responsive; all the other parts of the screen still work. Also, does anyone know of an online video of the dis-assembly of an FE? I can take apart the regular Xoom no problem but I don't see screws on the FE. I'd rather follow someone's example than insert pry tools where they shouldn't be.
I've searched online for an FE digitizer but no luck...might just have to wait for Ebay to come through for me.
Thanks all.

Please I am looking for the same information.
I found my xoom FE edition cracked, just sent it in under warranty and they said its not covered and are sending it back because I cannot afford to pay the 199+tax to repair it there.
I work with electronics daily and know I can replace it myself i just cannot find the digitizer for sale anywhere. my LCD is fine its just the glass front screen is cracked.
please help us find one for sale if you know where?

thanks
Brian

no problem I hope to stay a while.
Any info on the screen repair?

If anyone has the opportunity, please list the part numbers for the rest of the world for the digitizer. Alibaba is probably the only place we will find the part but I just bought mine with a slight crack in it from ebay, the seller says it works fine under normal use and not noticible but I still want to replace it and I got it for 145.00.

I have contacted an ebay seller who deals with LCD's and such and buys in large quantities and they are interested in the part number. I think if they saw an interest, it might be possible to bring them over from Japan.

thanks guys! I really would like to repair this xoom I miss having it to use...
I see the Alibaba site sells them but I think I saw a minimum order of 5 and I think they wanted 89$
not too bad of a price but I cannot afford to buy 5 and sell the other 4...
So I am still SOL.
anyone else have any info?

thanks so much for continuing the search.

Hi, does anyone know if the digitizers on sale on Alibaba are actually for the Xoom FE?
They show a picure of the FE but also say it fits the original Xoom? I thought they where different sizes?
Confusing and annoying! just like the general support for the FE.
