Unfortunately I cannot help you (I think people before said that a new separate screen would cost more than the GP32 itself), but perhaps you could help me by telling me how the screen got cracked, so I can avoid doing the same in the future :unsure:

Which bit of the screen? If you mean the LCD then you are better off getting a new GP32. If you mean the frontmost clear screen, them replace with a glass one, only a couple of pounds and well worth the effort of changing. Just go to a glass seller and ask for a piece cut to the size of the old plastic one. I got mine free because the guy their said it wasn't worth charging for a tiny piece.

OK, thanks, but how do you take the glass out and replace it, and could you tell me the exact dimensions of the glass please?

Where'd you get them from? Or did you make them? If so, how much will you sell them for?

That's the LCD, all I need is the glass covering that goes on top of it.

their not actually glass, to be pedantic they are plastic.
I`ve got a couple of these should you need them, they are the same
as the ones already on the GP32.. I was going to change mine but never
got round to it...got a 2x now as well.
Although some people swear by proper glass screens so that might be
worth a try, Might try that one meself.

OK, I've found a glass cutter, but I really need to know the dimensions of the screen (breadth, width, and depth). Anyone know these?

Can somebody please tell me the dimesions of the glass covering, and how to replace it? I could've got a new piece of glass cut today but no-one told me the dimensions so I have to wait until next week now!
Can't you just measure them out?
That's what I did when I did my glass screen mod a few years ago...

Nah, I can't measure it because:EvilDragon posted on Mar 8 2006 at 12:06 AM said:
a. I can't get it out.
b. It's broken so I wouldn't be able to measure it properly.

Thanks, but the safer tutorial to get the screen out seems to be non-existant......... I can't open my GP32 up because I'm crap with stuff like that :unsure:TelcoLou posted on Mar 9 2006 at 12:58 AM said:
