I should fire up my 540c , Switch it to greyscale and see how many shades of grey its capable of...
If you could, it would be appreciated.
So the consensus is that you could install a "C" Screen in your 540, (with the proper corresponding display cable) leave it in grey scale, and just pretend its an authentic fully working 540 lol?
Pretty much. I don't want to play screen roulette with the 540's being so flaky. Plus, 540c screens seem to be easier to come by. Although the one I found on eBay today, the seller is a jerk. He had the screen listed for $61, I made him an offer of $41, and he rejected the offer, no counter offer, removed the OBO from the listing and bumped the price to $95, and that's without the proper data cable. Good luck getting that for a used screen with no data cable, buddy.
