Status Report. No cases turned up, so I decided to set out repairing the old one. This is by far one of the more in-depth ground up rebuilds I've ever attempted. The current build sheet run-down:
The black tape around the edges of the display are holding the protective film over the LCD, which is important as the last thing I want to do at this stage is accidentally ruin the surface of the replacement panel. This film and tape won't be there when complete. I wanted to also give everyone a look under the hood, which is looking a lot better than it did when I first bought it home.
I expect to begin tackling the remaining items on the list soon, and hopefully have some news and progress for everyone here soon.
Cheers,
Mic.
I decided against attempting to replace the entire case for the chip in the corner, it's incredibly minor and hardly worth worrying about. If it becomes a big issue, I'll body fill it and spray with gloss white, or something equally as crazy.
