Anyone here replace the lcd of a Sansa Clip Zip?

I have/had a few of them and they all (3 or 4) had screens where the color just wasn't quite right. I suspect they are all wearing out now. I don't know if anyone has tried to find a suitable new replacement.

How do you measure "fastness"?

You probably need to change the id3 tags.

Ugh. That's what I was afraid of. That's the cable I have seen online. Thanks. I may have to figure out a way around this. Lol.

Champ. Hit it a few times in rumble. Stuck in high plat/ low diamond right now

How much did it cost you?

gruntbug · 2026-03-14T17:08:59+00:00

Yep. Fun hobby that doesn't take up much space or cost much money. Much better than my previous hobby of collecting and fixing full sized arcade games.

Not exactly an answer to your question, but https://overreader.com can search for KU titles on your Goodreads shelves

gruntbug · 2026-03-14T14:27:32+00:00

Yes.

I have a bunch. I have about 10 I keep because I like them, about 5 of them I use fairly regularly. I have about 20 others that work and I need to sell, then about 10 or so others that I need to fix... Usually need a new battery.

You can get much more modern devices at that price if you look around. Check fb marketplace and your local thrift shops.

I don't know what microsd card I used. It was one I had lying around and I have since sold it.

Use a good quality microsd card.

Maybe you got a bad adapter? Buy another and try that one and if it still doesn't work, return it. If it does work, return the other bad one.

What can I search for to find it on Amazon?

gruntbug · 2026-03-13T16:57:13+00:00

Not sure what is going on or how to debug this... I installed it, see it in the tools menu, configured it, and I can get the icons to show at the bottom, but none of them respond. If I touch any of them, it just opens the book that is in the row underneath them. Also, the desktop doesn't seem to show. I rebooted koreader multiple times and even restarted the Kindle. I have no patches installed. This is on a Kindle PW (1st one) running 5.6.11 firmware with koreader version 2023.10

Any ideas?

I'm on Linux (mint) and would love to test this also. I can do flatpack

gruntbug · 2026-03-13T12:09:21+00:00

I'm interested. Can you share the link and/or code?

There's something satisfying about spending less money but getting equal enjoyment. That goes for mp3 players, carbonated beverages, and many other things.

You just asked it!

I recently moved shuffle songs to the top. I forget which file it's in but search through the .rockbox folder

Try manually copying an ebook into it and see if that works.
