Hi there,

Since no one else is replying to this, I'll let you know that I did a search of all the usual suspects (Best Electronics, B&C, 16/32 Systems, etc) but I don't see any sort of replacement screens available. You could email those shops to see if they have one anyway, since I would suspect they all would have parts not listed on their websites. (If you need the web addresses, feel free to ask. 16/32 is probably the closest to you geographically.) From there, I'm thinking your best bet is to find a dead one on eBay and swap the screen from it.

Sorry I couldn't be more help,
Smeg

It may sound odd but have you tried a DIY store to see if they have any clear plastic sheet that you can cut to size, alternatively cheap garden sheds use quite flimsy plastic for the windows so you might be able to cut that down if you can find one. Obviously thickness will be an issue if you want a prefect fit.
Another option is to find someone who manufactures LCD displays the same size and see if they sell a Bezel for it as that may have a protective screen you can use.

If all else fails it may be that the two parts of the plasic at the crack have moved and are at slightly different heights, if so you may find that pushing them back together at the same high will mimimize its appearance, unlikely I know but as a last resort it is worth a try.
