Hello Elizabeth,

I have just followed the video’s for replacing a screen on my Coolpix P90.

The procedure was excellent and for an old Australian (born 1931) I never had a problem.

Just one question, is there a special way for reconnecting the data transfer ribbon.

Just cannot reconnect.

Thank you.

Regards, Noman

QLD Australia.

Hello,

Where can I buy a screen for replacement?

Thanks - Paul

Help! I must be missing something. I only need to replace the screen and I can’t get the angled screen to lay flat. Because of this I cant access the two screws on the back “extension” piece allowing me to remove the plastic cover on the back of the screen. The camera is a coolpix P90. Any advice?

I also need to know where to buy a new screen.

Everywhere I look on line there are only parts listed for newer models.

Thanks, Allen
