damaged t23 screen

[blobo]

i dropped my t23 and as a result the front bezel broke from the edge and also the side of the lid cracked a little

The screen didn't seem get any physical damage, but the backlight is leaking more on the bottom of the screen. It has always leaked some when looking from certain angles, but now it definitely got worse and it's visible from the normal viewing angle

the photo does, however, make it look worse than it really is

I'm going to take the whole screen assembly apart and try gluing the bezel and maybe the lid also. Do you think that there is anything to be done about the backlight problem? is it possible that the screen or backlight moved from the impact or something else like that? or is the only way to fix the problem to change the whole LCD?

Well, i guess i should be happy that the whole screen didnt crack, at least i can still use it [/url]

I bought a used screen on Ebay that also leaks a lot of light at the bottom. I looked the panel over but could not find anyway to solve the problem. I suppose if the screen gets twisted, the relector gets bent, thus letting light pass over the entire edge of the lcd laminate. It's on a spare T-21 so I live with it.

too bought a lcd for my T20 this past xmas.
works perfectly with no dead pixels and bad lighting.
my original lcd took a dive when the backlight conked out.

ok, i guess that's the problem since when i gently press the bottom part of the lid from behind, the leaking disappears.. I guess i'll have to live with it, too.

[censored], i just noticed that i also lost the left hook that keeps the lid shut
