I replaced one myself, it's a long, patience trying issue, I bought the screen off eBay, there are members on that site that will replace, have you no-one local?
Sorry, I misunderstood you Islay. I'm not bothered about the warranty, if it gets screwed then so be it.
I have reasonably high level of faith in Timpsons as I admire the founder. Although Bernie has wrong footed me so i might bight the bullet and give in to the Apple Store :-(
Eccles, I would not go the Apple way as they are very expensive, my Daughter sent one back there a good while ago & it costs as much as a new one, that's in my opinion.
If it is over 50% of a replacement I'll go for a new model and cast my older models far and wide into the family to see who is interested.
Still struggling to wonder why the spell checker wanted to know if my iPad wanted to recline in a comfy sit and go through the trauma of its short life ;-)
