| It's just a protector actually, this isn't a display you need to replace, it's just the 'glass', the window protecting the actual lcd. |

| ANDREW EVANS takes the word from here on. |
|
| The LCD protector is the exposed piece of plastic at the back of your camera that sits flush with the body of the camera. The good thing about this design is that it can bear the brunt of a knock or impact and result in a £20 repair instead of £200 repair for a cracked LCD screen- ouch! |

| I found two retailers, |
|
| 1. USCAMERA in the states, who were most helpful but i couldn't get there website to accept payment via credit card, they have an ebay store http://myworld.ebay.co.uk/uscamera/ |
|
| 2. Lehman in the UK. http://www.hlehmann.co.uk/ Again most helpful, they answered my many emails chasing the order, i was desperate to get my 5d back. I would stress that they are incredibly busy at the moment. If you want to communicate with them i suggest email through their website 'contact us' and ask for a call back. Very nice people to talk to. |
