I guess the EPOC16 vs EPOC32 question has now been resolved by higher powers.
Does anyone know if this is fixable?

The Last Psion | Alex@alexshendi It is, although I've never done it. You have to replace the polarisation filters on both sides of the LCD. There are tutorials online for doing it with other machines, such as the original Game Boy.
I believe that it is beyond me.

I have copped out and bought a new old Psion 3a on ebay. Will try to repair the old one nonetheless.
Do you know, if these are suitable?

@alexshendi They're not going to be wide enough. The 3a screen is 124mm x 41mm.
Thanks. These?

I have an extra Psion 3a with broken hinges.
I have managed to disassemble the display bezel.
Now I'm not sure how to disassemble the ribbon cable.
in ♥️ with PDA (and 🐧)@alexshendi @thelastpsion sorry cannot help :)
@alexshendi The ribbon cable attaches in two places. It fits into a connector under the keyboard, and it's soldered into the back of the screen. It's not a simple swap.
To access the keyboard end, you need to unscrew the keyboard cover. There are two screws, one under each SSD. You will then need to pop the keyboard cover off. Be careful, as on some keyboards the keys aren't glued down to the membrane.
@alexshendi Basically, to remove the screen, you have to disassemble the entire unit.
I guess it would be easier to wait for the polarizers?
It seems I have also managed to brick my
#Pocket386.
I pronounce today to be "Happy Computer Day"!
ckeen@alexshendi oh noes
Matt Lewis@alexshendi Why not both?
@alexshendi Damn, missed my chance! Definitely EPOC16.
