    I can only find them in the trade.. £860 for 20 + 20% tax ..

    sadly no actual part number listed.. it's probably a pretty generic part used by lots of makers..

    suggestion.. take it apart and see what the actual manufacturers part number sticker says it is..(unless they have peeled it off.. they do this because chances are it's exactly the same screen as on a £50 samsung or fuji camera.. but being an expensive camera they will rip you on the replacement part) it isn't made by Acer.. thats a dead cert..

    go to wildings on deansgate or call them they use a repair shop that repaired mine under warranty..or phone them,,if the acer is in the £150.00 bracket it will b cheaper to buy new...

    That camera comes in list price at around £180 .. but has no better performance than a fuji finepix 12mp at £79 (with thrown in 4 gig sd card) from argos :) I don't think it's worth repairing.

    It looks very much like a rebranded Samsung to me.. one of the £100 bracket ones.
