Can I change my camera's LCD screen? KEWL PICZ!!!! *UPDATE*

[powwka]

My friend gave me his digital cam because the LCD screen broke. It still takes pictures, but I never know what mode I'm in and I can't preview the pics because the screen is busted. So I have taken the camera apart, and the screen was pretty easy to remove, and it looks like it can be replaced.
But I searched eBay and googled, and I can't find a replacement. Where can I find one?
Also, I threw away the silver sheet that goes behind the LCD, because I thought I was just going to toss the whole camera. If I get a new screen, will it work without the silver backing?

The camera is an HP Photosmart M407

UPDATE:I bought a camera that wouldn't power on from eBay for $15 + $6 shipping and swapped the screen and it works!!!

Don't think so. And a repair would cost more than a new camera.

Would there be some other LCD screen I could buy for it? Maybe for a different camera, or something from Mouser?

Probably not.

Ok I found this auction - http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi...9171884&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=007
I emailed him to ask if the LCD still worked. If it does, I should be able to swap it into my camera, right?

If the LCD still works and matches the one in your current camera, you should be able to swap it into your camera.

Congrats, cool swap. I've done that with quite a few dell laptops with success.
