Question Help!

So I set my apache down on the coffee table this weekend. A couple of hours later I picked it up and the screen looked as such below. I took the whole thing apart and checked all the ribbon connecters on the screen. Everything looks fine internally. When I slide the keyboard out, if i gently flex the screen the lines change locations which indicates a bad or broken connection. Any one seen this before? Any ideas what I can do instead of buying a new one?

Re: Help!

Thanks for the pic but if it was clickable to make it more large, that would be nice. What options do you have other than buying a new phone? Well since you have already taken it apart, why not just buy a new screen and replace it?

Re: Help!

I have been looking on ebay. All the "parts" phones have broken screens.
Here is a link to the pic. Sorry 'bout that.

Re: Help!

I have an old 6700 that I lost over the winter, I found it while cleaning the garage out. You won't be able to activate it, I don't know if you could tear it apart and replace the screen? By the way, were in Oregon do you live? I am moving to the Hillsboro area around June.

Re: Help!

How much would you want for it? I live in McMinnville, which is about 45 min. from Hillsboro.

Re: Help!

It's not a crack in the screen. It is being drawn that way. It's like the ribbon has a break in it and it's corrupting the data to the screen. The messed up part is, the touch interface still works perfectly.
