Where can I buy a replacement LCD screen?

Joshua Almeida - Reply Share

You don't show the final part taking the glass away from outer and the board, as the screen replacements don't come with connector board

@josollis: Thanks for the hint! I got the missing info from the E-P5 LCD exchange instructions (on ifixit).

I have reassembled the unit after replacing the broken Ribbon, however my LCD images are inverted in normal mode not selfie mode. Do anyone know why ?

Thanks in advance
