my screen has gotten a little beat up, is there any place to order or get a replacement screen?

It would need to come in for service, but we can replace it. The screen is not user replaceable, as it would require opening the CC. There are small, spring-loaded parts which can easily be lost without noticing if the case is opened by an untrained person.

can you tell me about how much this would be to have done?

If its under the 2 year warranty, it would be done for the cost of shipping to us. The actual repair and shipping back to within the US would be covered.

awesome! now i just need to find some time i can live without it!

I placed -- very carefully to avoid trapping any air bubbles -- a strip of the newer ultra-clear 2-inch-wide packing tape over the clear CC screen, overlapping it onto the main black plastic case. Did that the day I received my CC. Works like a charm. You could also use the outrageously overpriced clear plastic sheeting that's sold to protect iPod / iPhone screens by trimming it to fit.

I'm not trying to be rude or anything - but - you say you will send it in when you can find time to live without it. What would you do if it broke during a shoot? and it will break - trust me! You really should have 2.
I just had 1 go bad 3 days ago. It's in getting fixed right now. Well I'm kind of praying my backup doesn't quit until my other gets back. If it did I could be looking at a serious income loss. So my way of insuring that doesn't ever happen was to buy a 3rd one. Backup overkill - oh yeah. But I will never have a customer disappointed because of equipment failure.
