My son has an Acer Iconia A200 that he cracked the glass.  The tablet works if a mouse in connected via USB.

 

So, can the glass be replaced, and if so where could the glass be purchased.  Thanks.

    The glass is bonded to the rest of the display/touchscreen components. Acer can replace them for you, as can a few third party repair depots. Not cheap, but it might still be better than a full tablet replacement. If you are a 'do it yourself' type it's possible but not for the faint at heart. You wouldn't want to go to the expense of buying the replacement screen module and then break something else while trying to swap it out. :-(

    Well, I am a hands on person.  I have been and electronic tech., a mechanic and a plumber, so I think I could do it.  So, where could I find what the replacement module would cost.  Thanks.
