Broken Screen

Post by jpires »

Hello my Korg friends.
Actually this is not new topic, as lot of you know my Pa4x screen crack few months ago, i place an order for a new screen thru Full Compass music store here in US, I've been waiting and waiting since Sep. 2018, yesterday I got an email from Full Compass that it is backordered until further notice.
I am crashed!
Does anybody here know any place that I can place an order for it?
Perhaps Korg Italy, Australia, any other place in Europe, Japan etc.
Thanks
JP

Thanks KorgPa, I already try that company, I spent $60.00 on one touch screen from them but it doesn't fit, I had to return it.
they told me to take a picture of my screen and send it so they can compare, until now I haven't heard from them.
there is a lot of company from China selling touch screen but so far I haven't found one for Pa4x. Korg is telling me that I have to buy the whole screen which is this kit number:
Korg PA4X LCD Display, KIT0001029

Thanks guys for the links, but I already check all over internet.
There is a lot of company in China saying this is for pa4x but none of them are, I even post it on Ebay about it and one of the company ask me to send a picture of my touch screen so they can compare it and they never reply to me. For the past 4 months I've been do so much research. The Korg pa4x screen is nothing like the screen you see on those picture, the Pa4x screen have a 5mm overhanging touch glass all around the LCD.
and the ribbon connector is totally different. If Any body here have a problem with they Pa4x Touch screen please don't buy those you see on Ebay, you must get it from Korg because it has a PCB (printed circuit board)built in.
thanks
JP

When you buy from Ebay and you get the screen and it doesn't work you are 100 percent protected to get a full refund and that also includes Ali Express so, go for it, I am talking from experience with other items, most Chinese companies do not want a bad rep.

Thanks Vangelismusic for your input.
I know the Ebay rules, I email Ali Express about it and they told me to take a picture of my broken touch screen and send to the so they can compare.
That raise a flag for me, also the small ribbon in the picture which is from the touch glass to the LCD is to big and only has 4 wires. The Pa4x ribbon is
smaller and it have 6 wires.
I am 100% sure from that picture on the link that it's not a fit for Pa4x.
