I've just had to replace a T2-C for a customer who broke the screen. RTI and our suppliers say there are no replacement parts for the remote.

There recommendation is to throw it in the bid as it costs more to replace the screen than buy a new remote!! What a waste!!

In an era where we are encouraged to recycle they want me to throw out an expensive piece of electronic equipment because a replaceable part is broken.

Anyone know where I can get a screen for the remote. I would hate to throw out a perfectly good remote.

Cheers,
Steve

ditto, screens wanted for an old T3 & K4

We might be living in times where we are encouraged to recycle etc, but just look at how quickly the electronics we use change and improve.
Phones, Ipods, even plasma/LCD TV's are made to just be tossed because the latest version has come down so low in price that no one would pay the minimal costs to have it repaired if broken.
You can buy a bluray player for $100, who can have a business model that would be profitable to fix these? Customers are not going to pay even $50 to have someone look at and figure out whats wrong with it, let alone the labour to fix it. You just go and buy a new one.
Look around you, how many TV repair shops are left....
Sad and certainly seems wasteful.

With touchscreens it may seem as easy as replacing a piece of glass (like a windsheild) but the truth is the hundreds of "tentacles" and "nerve endings" need to be reattached which makes for a tedious process and the huge labor cost. Many times there are problems down the line because they can never be attached properly or with the same level of precision as the original factory design. Everyone wants to recycle, but it's the labor that is the killer.

The screen on a T2-C is a simple module that can be removed and replaced easily. It would take me 5 minutes to fix.

I'll just have to keep in stock for spare parts I guess!!

If anyone has a T2-C with a good screen, but broken elsewhere, let me know.

Cheers,
Steve

Ask someone who had a repair shop for 29 years... (had)

I had a bad screen on a T2C...called RTI got an RMA....sent it in...RTI put on a new screen.....don't talk to tech...choose the option to get an RMA.....I have never had any problems sending anything back to RTI

Hell dont throw any RTI remotes away that have cracked screens give them to me. I will fix them, and yes there are replacement parts available just look at the PDA part number on the back of the screen. Caution, getting the ribbon cable off and back on is a pain in the ass if you have never done this before so be warned.

The last t2c i had repaired was about a month ago with no issues.

Need screen for t3v or t3 v+ . Please let me know where I can find this, help please!

lol. first post and revives a 5 year old thread.

Hello! I need screen for T2x. Please let me know where I can find this, help please!
Does T2i have the same with T2X screen? And T2C+ has different from T2X screen?

Here comes another! Lol.

Thank for Your help!

This was me being a prick, my apologies- it happened when you revived an ancient thread in order to pull off some serious magic. However by asking 'do the T2c, x, and i share the same screen'- well this reveals a ZERO experience with the product guy. So, to answer- they absolutely do not. They differ in build material and resolution.
