    Does it hook into the screen wiring harness/ribbon/daughter-board or does it have its own wires?

    There's one little coaxial cable (shown dangling out the bottom) that is independent of the LCD harness.

    NX2000,
    In the CF-27 stuff I sent Modly there is a service manual supplement for installing the LCD antenna with expanded parts drawings. There is a lot of stuff there and I don't know if he even has it yet. If he puts the whole thing up, you'll find it there.

    NX2000,
    Modly organized the stuff very nicely, thanks George. Look under CF-27 on Modly's site, under service manuals, supplements, "27 sp19.pdf", that's it.

    Thank you sir, funny thing is I just ordered the service manuals off ebay, and they are somewhat disapointing....all it seems to be is a parts catalog. :(

    Thats one of a gimmick of those money making seller on ebay offering service manual without a complete detail or included on the cd and sometimes misleading the buying public.
