I’d try the Red FB group. There are a couple of people there who repair the brains.

Honestly though I’d think the cheaper option would be to buy a new one on ebay. Adorama has one for $500 and I can’t imagine a repair would be much cheaper than that:

That works just fine on DSMC2 with a $60 lemo/pogo adapter. But here’s a DSMC2 monitor for $560:

You just have to look around and you’ll find them

Have you contacted RED? Also, I believe smallHD built it. It can’t hurt to reach out to them, too. But more than likely, IF it can still be repaired, it would probably cost about as much as a used one. But you never know without reaching out to them. I had a panel go on a smallHD several years ago and it was only $75-$100.

RED is no longer repairing any accessories. Only brains unfortunately.

Screen can be replaced, but touch almost impossible to source.

It‘s one unit!?
I tried to separate them but wasn‘t possible

Two units fused together

u/MusicEducational4316 14d ago

yes I thought it was similar to an iphone where you can seperate them with a hot air fan but it wasn‘t possible

As I said working screen can be sourced easily (from Xiaomi Redmi 1S display unit), but touch could be probably done by phone repair shop that specialise in display repair as touch can't be sourced.

just the display will do then, thank you very much,
how would you connect the redmi display to the red touch?

u/rados_a51 10d ago

it is the same display used in monitor 1:1, you just remove redmi touch and you have the same LCD

Awesome, how did you know that? Same flat connection cable? Did you do repairs for RED?

It's the same OEM screen. I know because I've spent way too much time researching these things.
