I liked the 7290 also but it may be time to upgrade. If that is not something you want to do, you might try for a replacement screen sold at many sites. One issue is if the screen is not the problem and it is something with the main board your wasting money. I found screens for $ 7.50 to $ 75.00. Depending on cost it really may be cheaper to buy a new BB. Some retailers will give you a new one for a contract. Ask your current carrier if they have any deals. Tell them if not you may have to change carriers. The story may change. Amazon offered a Bold for free with a 2 year contract.
