Replacement LCD display for manometer

[macalla]

Does anyone know where to get a replacement LCD module for a General Tools DM8252 manometer?

I accidently got the meter wet so I took it apart to dry, then I immediately broke the glass display by dropping it on the floor.   A corner of the glass broke off so several of the contact points embedded in the glass are gone (it connects to the pcb with an elastomeric zebra strip).

Its pretty much new so I'd really like to fix it rather than scrap it.

Thanks!

It's likely that it's a custom part, the manufacture will be the only source for a new one if they will even sell parts at all. Your other option is to find a broken or beat up instrument of the same model that has an intact display.

Welcome to EEVBlog.

Agreed.  Probably made in large volume for that design.  Try General Tools for a replacement part.  Worth a try, but plan on buying a new or used one.  Save the rest, as those parts may come in handy later.

This may be of interest, if it works: https://www.ebay.com/itm/224135666507?epid=1309080585&hash=item342f86db4b:g:Xk4AAOSwr0VfR90R
