    Default How to replace a Sega Nomad screen?

    I just got a couple of the Sega Nomad screens in the mail from a trader on GTZ and I'm looking for instructions on how to replace the screen.

    Thanks for the help.

    I'm pretty sure the process would be quite similar to that of a GBA screen. I would search for a how-to on that and just use your imagination as to doing on a nomad.

    I've done this once before. Get a small flathead screwdriver [a "percision" screwdriver is best] and pry up the edges. Be very careful to not use too much force, otherwise you'll end up damaging the screen underneth with the screwdriver slips.

    Just pry it up in small amounts all along the edges and it should pop off. Then clean any residue off with some rubbing alcohol and a q-tip, wait for that to dry, peel off the adhesive backing on the new screen and stick it on.

    Hope this helps.
