What tends to work better for removing that protective strip is some strong IPA. That way, it simply loosens up the adhesive and as it dries, it’ll retain its adhesive properties so you can reuse it after you’ve made the ribbon repairs.

Does anyone know we're I can get a new screen

[@totalfix877]

For a new screen your best bet is probably eBay, although the price might be a bit high. I generally like to replace them with a more modern Backlit screen. I would recommend Funnyplaying, I've never had an issue with their products.

[@totalfix877]

Yeah I bet, if you don't mind me asking, what is wrong with the current one you have?
