NWZ B173 Walkman LCD Screen

Hi All


I'm very fond of my NWZ B173 walkman, I always have it with me to listen to audio books, which really helps keep me motivated when I'm on a 3 hour run. Problem is, I sometimes forget to check my pockets when I throw my sweaty running gear into the wash (this is my third MP3 player in 2 years, because I keep doing this!). Yesterday I managed to rescue my walkman after about 30 minutes in the washing machine and the good news is it still works after drying out for a while. The bad news is the LCD appears to be permanently polarised. I'd really like to change the screen, but can't find one on ebuy. Has anyone found a source of screens? I'd hate to buy a new device just because of this (again).


Kind regards

Robert

Turns out the NWZ B135 shares the same screen, I managed to get a cheap non-functional one and swap the screens. That'll do until the next time I wash it! There are some signs of corrosion on the electronics, but it's working for now.
