So you guys talk about how great Rockbox players are and one of my friends has one and loves it, and I came into possession of one Sansa E260 with a broken screen, so I thought I would replace the screen and try out Rockbox.
I was given three old ones that were bad in other ways but two had good screens, I looked up guides on taking the screen out and there is literally only one that google knows about. The last step in the guide says to "peel" the screen connector ribbon off the main board.
This kills the screen. The screens cannot be swapped via "peeling" them off. They can't even be put back on the original boards they came from. So I've got one good one left, if I can swap it to the good Sansa I can have a working Rockbox rig.
So, what the heck it the actual method of removing and reconnecting these ribbon cables here?

Bump for help.
looks like you need to desolder the old one and solder the new one

The pins seem very easily destroyed though.

then don't do it
It's likely your only choice though.

If that's actually true then boy do I wish I wish I knew this before hand.
