K5iis replacement back LCD screen

bychan · 2018-02-28T00:25:26+0000

Whilst changing filters the other day, with the camera resting on a big rock, I gently tilted the camera backwards (screen protector fitted). Cue the sound of crushing glass. Thankfully all is still in working order, with only the bottom crack physically cracked. Has anybody had the back screen replaced, if so, any recommendations and any advise as to the cost. Thanks Adrian

Thanks roberrl, that worked.
This screen seems the same as the previous link from the US.

I wouldn't trust myself to even think about replacing it myself

You might try Asahi Photo (see the separate "Harrow Technical" thread) to see if they can do the job, especially if you can supply them with the screen assembly!
PS: I suspect that they will be getting quite a lot of new work as result of the threads on this forum, so "be quick"

I have yet to receive a response from Ashai Photo, think I'll chase them up....

Not sure if you have phoned them yet but I did yesterday about getting a fix for the potential aperture block issue on the K30 and not having received a reply to my Contact message - to be told that the guy had just returned from holiday and was ploughing through the mail backlog. He gave me a price and I asked him to confirm it by email - so far that has not happened, but it is a very small firm and so that could be the reason.

K-3 II, K-3 and a K-70 from SRS (having now relegated the K-30 /"K-50" to a backup body), & some Sigma and Pentax lenses (and a lot of old 35mm gear!)
