Answers.Text: Very good - you found my thread on MobileRead :-)  ISTR the service manual was not a lot of use to a home-repairer.  The Youtube video is something new and far more useful I think so cheers for that. I am now inspired to have a go, assuming the replacement screens are still available... will report back one way or another.

Answers.Text: I have now ordered a replacement screen from Hong Kong (£21)... interesting that the guy in the video couldn't get the screen unstuck either and just cracked/smashed it off and cleaned up the mess!

Body: <p>I dropped my PRS-T1 and the screen cracked (one-third of the screen diagonally still works), so the electronics is still functioning.  Replacement screens were available on eBay from the far-east but with no instructions.   Before risking ordering one, I stripped down my T1.  The screen appears to be heavily glued to a skeleton metal chassis... I am presuming I'd need some special heating jig or solvent to remove it... and so I gave up.  Is there any chance of reviving this or should I just bin it?</p>

  Look at this thread on [Mobileread](http://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=220557), it also has a link where you can download the service manual.
  
  There is also a video guide on [youtube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LqbYWHJk8Tk).
