topic NWZ B173 Walkman LCD Screen in Portable Audio https://community.sony.se/t5/portable-audio/nwz-b173-walkman-lcd-screen/m-p/694579#M1079 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P _mce_style="" style=";">Hi All</P><P _mce_style="" style=";"><BR /></P><P _mce_style="" style=";">I'm very fond of my NWZ B173 walkman, I always have it with me to listen to audio books, which really helps keep me motivated when I'm on a 3 hour run. Problem is, I sometimes forget to check my pockets when I throw my sweaty running gear into the wash (this is my third MP3 player in 2 years, because I keep doing this!). Yesterday I managed to rescue my walkman after about 30 minutes in the washing machine and the good news is it still works after drying out for a while. The bad news is the LCD appears to be permanently polarised. I'd really like to change the screen, but can't find one on ebuy. Has anyone found a source of screens? I'd hate to buy a new device just because of this (again).</P><P _mce_style="" style=";"><BR /></P><P _mce_style="" style=";">Kind regards</P><P _mce_style="" style=";">Robert<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Sun, 31 Mar 2013 13:36:21 GMT lemmybarnet 2013-03-31T13:36:21Z NWZ B173 Walkman LCD Screen https://community.sony.se/t5/portable-audio/nwz-b173-walkman-lcd-screen/m-p/694579#M1079 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P _mce_style="" style=";">Hi All</P><P _mce_style="" style=";"><BR /></P><P _mce_style="" style=";">I'm very fond of my NWZ B173 walkman, I always have it with me to listen to audio books, which really helps keep me motivated when I'm on a 3 hour run.

That'll do until the next time I wash it! There are some signs of corrosion on the electronics, but it's working for now.<BR type="_moz" /></P><P style=";"><BR /></P><P style=";"><BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Wed, 03 Apr 2013 17:54:10 GMT https://community.sony.se/t5/portable-audio/nwz-b173-walkman-lcd-screen/m-p/694580#M1080 lemmybarnet 2013-04-03T17:54:10Z
