REPLACEMENT SCREEN FOR NW-S706F

[markey]

Does anyone know where I can obtain a new front screen for my NW-S706F. I put the player in my pocket along with the earphones and I think the metal casing on the MDR-NC022's rubbed up against the player and left a lovely long scratch along the front of it. I know you can get the front covers for the NW-Exxx range. Also would anyone know how to remove the front cover?

I did search using Google ,but I couldn't find anything .

Hey,To prevent further scratches you shd buy clear/leather case for your precious NW-S706F.

Thanks for looking Stuge, much appreciated! Maybe in time the part will become available. I did check with JR part search as recommended in an earlier post regarding the front panels for the NW-Exxx range, but they didn't stock them. WARNING! Never put your NW-Sxxx in your pocket with the supplied phones, the metal casing on the phones may scratch it like they did mine. Not one of my Sony devices has a scratch on them, I've only had the player for 2 weeks and it's scratched already.

Just read Kurisu's post titled "Removing scratches from LCD screens?" He suggests using toothpaste. I may try this method as the scratch is visible but not very deep.

Sure will, just working up the courage to try it. I'm worried I will make it worse.

Hi Stuge, yes I have decided against this as not knowing how the plastic on the player would react. It is only a hairline scratch, you can't even feel it when you rub your finger across it and can only be seen under a good light. I shall however keep a look out for a replacement cover and whether or not it is easy to remove.
