Where can I buy a replacement LCD screen?

josollis - Mar 20, 2017

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).
