The screen cracked diagonally, and now every function above the top half of the crack won't work when pressed. Everything is still visible and the pixels on the screen all seem fine.
I emailed OFT telling them about my misfortune and, understandably, there is a cost to pay for getting it fixed. The part that's troubling me is they want $250 dollars to send a replacement, pretty much 50% of the cost of the tablet I just bought.
Before I go about spending another $250 dollars, does anyone with experience with LCD screen replacements think it would be possible to take the tablet somewhere and have them replace the screen and have the functions still work? The crack on the screen looks like its right at the surface.

Unfortunately, OFTs aren't repairable. They enclosure is sealed and opening it up with damage it. So a cracked screen requires a whole new device. And since it wasn't a manufacturing problem, we can't claim repair on it and provide you a replacement free-of-charge as would otherwise be the case. I wish I had a more palatable solution for you.
