    Wanted: Replacement LCD

    Hey all, the LCD on my Dell Streak broke and I am looking for a replacement. If you have the LCD either loose or on a scrap Streak, please let me know if you would be willing to sell. I am planning to repair it myself. Just a note, this is NOT the gorilla glass, it is the LCD beneath it.

    Streak has been given a new lease of life

    The Streak has had an interesting life. One minute it's going to be discontinued, and the next it's going to used by the US Military, which should ensure a reasonably long life for it.
