Scratch on xv6700 screen

[ljstevens]

Hi
I have just bought a used xv6700 off ebay. All is going quite well. I have flashed it to Cricket and installed WM6

What I was not expecting was a scratched screen, as the seller assured me the screen would not be scratched.

My question is, can I solve the scratched screen problem by changing out the touch pad/digitizer that sits on top of the actual LCD screen... ie I'm thinking that this is the thing that is scratched, or would a scratch go through that and onto the LCd screen... hence requiring the replacement of the whole LCD screen with touchpad?

Now I know you are probably thinking, well we need to know how bad the scratch is before we give an answer, well the scratched are not very deep, and you can feel then slightly when you slide the stylus over them, they give a kind of gritty feel.

I'm hoping the scratches are just on the surface, so I only have to spend about $10 on ebay for a new touch pad/digitizer

I'd really appreciate your help
