HT1250 Screen Replacement Help

[SEK494]

Hello everyone,

I'm SEK494 and I'm new to the site.

So I purchesed a used HT1250 UHF for use when I'm working with my Fire Department. (Yes, Its all legal and will be programed by the sheriffs office.) Unfortanetly the screen is broke. I can not justify the $140 repair service. However, I did notice that screen replacements are sold on Ebay. I can not find the tool to take them apart however. So my questions are as follows.

1.) Is the screen repair something I can do at home?

2.) Where do I find the tools to take a HT1250 apart?

3.) Does anyone have pictures of a HT1250 apart?

4.) Would a new case be hard to transfer parts too? (also saw on Ebay)

The ribbon cable for the screen and the screen are under an RF shield. That can be a pain to remove and not damage.

The chassis tool opener is part number 6685666D01. It does make opening the case easy but it can be done with a screwdriver.

Recasing is like anything else..... if you know how to do it, it's easy.

Seems hard these days to find a legit housing on eBay. The China com housing sell like hotcakes on eBay. I wonder just how many companies are sporting crap housing on there ht750s & HT1250s.
