Frank,
By chance I ended up with several 2100's (now
including my main newt :( ) that suffer the jaggies.
Is there a good source for replacement digitizers? I
had another with a cracked screen and I took it apart
using your quidance (what a job!). I thought about
trying to clean the jaggied units but maybe it's not
worth the time.
