Arg. I'm feeling with you.

Even without a NuShield the digitizer foil normally takes care of
that.

See http://www.pda-soft.de/mp_1x0_display.html
It is for a MP130, but the only difference is that the backlight
can be replaced separately on a 2x00 display.

Yes.

You might want to ask Dr. Newton at http://www.maplenet.net/~dwatson/.
Not sure if he sells the parts, but he offers 2x00 repairs. Of course,
there's also your friendly neighborhood Newton fixer in Germany. But
be aware that Dr. Newton is a professional whereas I am, well, let's
say usually more persistant than the dead Newtons so that they
eventually
give up.

Sometimes life can be a bitch...
If you need further assistance, mail me off-list. Or come to
Kissimmee/Florida March 21 ;-)
