I have a busted 8945, looks like a stone chip in a car windscreen. The screen lights up but the screen is cracked and looks like the liquid has leaked out.

I was hoping that I could get a replacement screen from China. I checked ebay but can only see whole handsets.

Anyone know of any source for spare parts? The unit is EoL and out of warranty last week, but the breakage happened a few weeks prior to that - but not sure if smartnet warranty would cover accidental physical damage.

you could punt it up the hill and probably get a replacement still, depends on your cisco connections.

Agree, check with your reseller that provided the phone.

I messaged my account manager "could I deal with it thru tac" and she said "probably not". I was going to log a case but the contract has expired.

Are you saying go to the reseller? They are as helpful as a chocolate teapot at the best of times, so I'm not exactly enthralled with confidence and high expectations. :rofl:

How about going through your Cisco account manager?

:doh: That you did. Well, there's always the Cisco account manager route.

Give it a shot, doesn't appear that you have any other option, other than disassembly.
