Re: [NTLK] Dead 2100 touch screen ?

I had this happen, but in my case the port door cover had broken due
to a drop and sliced through the digitizer cable

I repaired it and had many years of use, without the port door .
Requires lifting out the logic board to see.

I n fact I advocate losing it ASAP.
