So that's why my N95-1's screen wasn't working.. - GSM-Forum

Jpoel · 06-17-2011, 13:49

My N95-1's screen hasnt been working for some time now, the backlight comes on but there is just nothing on the screen. So i took some screwdrivers to it and found this:

Over the years i've had it, the sliding mechanism has worn away at this band and it's obviously given way.

Does anyone know what this "band" is called, and where can i buy one? and how do i change it? (There is no part number on the band, i checked.) I don't want to send it to get fixed as it will cost too much, i'm looking to just refurbish this device and sell it on.

On this diagram:

you can see it as "S60 dome sheet (a3) I103". (second down, top right) is that the name of the part?

ALSO: Where do i get one of those little screws with the orange line around them? That are used to hold the outside of the N95-1's housing:

I kinda, may have SORTA lost one of them whilst taking it apart, and looking for a small grey screw on a large silver carpet is NOT easy

Thanks for any help

Please ignore the bit about the "S60 dome sheet (a3) I103".. i was looking at the diagram wrong. Infact, this cable doesn't appear in that diagram at all.

Thanks!

So is something like this what i'm after?

Flex Cable Ribbon Flat Connector for Nokia N95 1G F60 | eBay UK

Looks good to me! One thing though, that ebay seller's board doesn't include the front facing camera, so i'd have to get that off the old board and put it on the new one. Would that be difficult? :/

Yes, it's difficult for non-technical person and requires some equipment. Look for flex with front camera already.
