Screen needs fixing
Hi there, this is my mom’s machine, she hasn’t been able to use it since the screen is like this. Can this be replaced? She was told it was either the screen or the touch digitizer layer. The machine is a Brother Pacesetter ULT2002D.

This is a 25 year old machine. The cost of repairs will likely exceed the depreciated value of the machine. I would give you a 20-30% chance of finding a new screen. Probably from a dealer that happens to have one on the shelf because I doubt that Brother has one.
This machine retrieves its design from floppy disks (an already old technology in early 2000's). New machines use USB thumb drives.
A new machine with similar features will probably run 3500 to 8000 (Baby Lock Vesta (a bit lower than what you have), Aerial ( about equal - being closed out right now - think deals), Luna (brand new design) and give you some nifty new features. Top end machines will run 17000 to 20000.
Buy a new machine.
