Introduction

This guide will help you remove and replace the screen found in the Palm m105.

The Palm m105 has a LCD screen with a thin plastic cover. It not only allows the stylus to interact with its different applications but also displays the information necessary for a PDA. Problems can arise from the screen's cheap wiring and damage to the plastic digitizers caused by stylus use over time. Thus, the device becomes unusable because nothing is displayed. This means a screen replacement in most cases but see the Palm m105 troubleshooting page to see if other issues are preventing it from working correctly. Also make sure to remove the two AAA batteries before getting started.
