Good evening,
I'm a little upset. Today, as I lifted my calculator out of its case, the screen came off. As it did, I instinctively grabbed for it, and in doing so the ribbon cable completely ripped.
I've emailed Michael, so hopefully I'll be able to get hold of a replacement, but I am a little upset about it, obviously. Not sure why I'm sharing here, maybe just for sympathy.

You can see the crack across the inside of the screen, where it fell on the floor after coming completely away. Even if I could somehow repair the ribbon cable (which I am not sure is possible), the screen looks damaged now anyway. Such a shame.

Just had a reply from Michael, and he's sending me a replacement screen and adhesive. Once again, Swiss Micros customer service is the best I've ever experienced.
Still saving up for a DM42L (I can dream). Maybe I'll end up buying a DM41X if the savings reaches that level before the DM42L exists

Wow, that's scary. I'll be more careful when handling mine, although where it currently resides there is a soft padded carpet for it to fall on. Is the ribbon connector part of the screen assembly ? I've had problems with the keyboard faceplate separating from the calculator body on my DM15L, and Michael did send me a replacement for that.
