Cracked Screen on an OFT
 
Got my OFT last week. Loaded up stage 1. Feels great! :)

My wife immediately broke the screen. :bonk: The touch screen does not seem to function any longer. I know it's different tech, but I was holding out hope that it would still work, seeing that I've been using a cracked iPhone screen for six months now. The screen lights up, and looks fine (other than the cracks). Also, the unit itself seems to work, as I was able to connect to Openflash Manager and download the 2.0 maps.

Anybody have any thoughts on repairing it, or getting it to respond?

Contact the manufacturer, it's not like you'll find a replacement screen online like you can with phones.

Did you buy it new or used? Did you use a credit card? I know several credit card companies offer supplemental warranty service on some items in the event that you are unable to return/warranty an item.

But first things first: if you bought it new, have you called Vishnu?

I bought it new. I'm planning to call Vishnu tomorrow. Hopefully, it won't cost another $500 to get this fixed. I've spent too much money on car stuff that no longer functions properly, as of late. :cry:
