Hello Eli! I was wondering if you buy a new screen for replace, is this comes with the FPC cable? I mean, the black one. Thanks a lot!
Hi, I broke the FPC cable that connects the LCD to the Main board do you know the part number or where to buy it?
Thanks in advance
Thanks so much! It was really helpful! One screen hinge on my nx500 was loose because the two screws holding it came off. They were loose inside the case, and eventually stuck to the magnet on the back of the speaker. So it was easy to find them and screw them back again. My camera is like new again! Keep up the good work!
