Great stuff Rob
I look forward to hearing how you go particularly, as you have pointed out, the cost of shipping to BBS and repair makes it almost a cheaper to bin it and buy a new tool.
Fingers crossed (xcuse the pun:D:D) BBS will be able to give you the information you need.
Cheers
Steve
You will also require a new screen surround sticker. You have to strip it to release the screen and slide the board out.
My screen is fine but the unit won't power up.
Think the processor is fried.
It's too expensive to send to Cyprus to be repaired. It's not financially viable.
I'd pay $100 to $150 to have it fixed, but not $300+
Sent from my HTC_0P6B using AULRO mobile app
Anyone have any joy in replacing screen on their nanocom evo?
I see in thread part number of TSA0159, I'm in NZ and cost of sending to Cyprus for repair seems inhibitive.
If I could obtain screen and get someone more local to repair, I would be very interested
Sort of related..
The touch screen on my motorcycle GPS failed to respond to my finger. The display was still good but the lack of input made it usedless.
I bought a touchscreen off evilbay and fitted it. Worked a treat but I had to change the orientation electrically by 90 deg.
It might be possible to fit a new screen to the Nanocom. I can see the TSA0159 is available on evilbay.

The 40 thieves mob have 'em for ten bucks. Probably from the same factory.
It's definitely something I would try, if my Nano ever died. The Nano is not some mystical device. It could be done. I replaced the screen in an iPhone once, and it's a little more complex and miniaturised than the Nano, and harder to get into. Of course, I'm not going to try it out on my currently working Nano, but the things are going to get harder to get, as the number of cars that need them diminish. There's going to be less and less of a business model. The big issue probably won't be the screens, it will be with the proprietary nature of the firmware on the chips. I can't ever see BBS making that open source, even though the chips themselves are probably readily available.
As for needing a sticker for the screen, post #12, I doubt it's necessary. There's no reason I can see why the guts of the Nano couldn't be installed in a totally different enclosure if it came to it. Same thing probably applies to the "proprietary" leads that come with the thing. Of course, this would prevent sending the thing back for repair, but it seems most people no longer wish to do that. I don't. The things cost too much in the first place, for what they are. I think what we really pay for is the firmware that allows communication with the LR diagnostics, which is in my opinion worth it. But we have already paid for that. The board and chips are worth peanuts, and imo repairs should reflect that.
