Just one more suggestion to test... If the touchscreen layer is gone, then all you see is the hard plastic/glass screen itself. When you press it with a stylus you'll see no bowing of the screen surface. If the soft plastic touchscreen layer is still in place you can see that (bowing) easily with dimmed screen when holding against a light at proper angle. (In my tablet the plastic layer bows more close to the edges of the screen. In the middle there is not much bowing.)

I'll post pics when I get home later on tonight, and yes the N810 still works perfectly fine but the touchscreen layer isnt there, im guessing since the screen is ok, all you need is to buy that layer.

thanks

Yeah the first layer was actually the trans reflective layer, which was really thick I might add and had multiple sheets. Then was the touch screen layer which had a ribbon wire at the top right and had a Grey lining around it. I forgot it, I left it at my dad's house but i'll post pics about two weeks from now to show the y'all who are curious.

No, the screen is sold as a complete unit, so there's no way to just buy the touchscreen layer (at least officially)

Just, fyi, not all touchscreens are created equal. I have 4 tablets, only one of which has the soft spongey screen like you describe, the rest all feel like hard plastic.

I have two N800. One has the compliant (spongey) touchscreen layer, the other has the hard screen that doesn't deform when touched.

I prefer the harder one that does not deform.

Why did Nokia change the design of the touchscreen?

I refrain from hijaacking this thread but I have one more question about screens.....can anyone please tell me the method of backilight? Is it cold cathode florescent, or white led? Thank you.

Honestly, I'm not sure what's up. I've seen both from early production runs and late production runs, so it doesn't seem like something they changed in the middle. . . .

I think that one's it, its 1.50$ but I think the website has a minimum order.

Once again: i'm not sure
