    The screen on my SZ has some scratches, I noticed the top layer is just a film/foil, are there replacements available?
    So I can pull the original of and put a new layer on (of equal quality).
    I'm not talking about a protective sheet, but a layer that's part of the screen.

    With kind regards,

    Bart

    That will be the X-Black (later renamed X-Brite, I think?) coating.

    Never seen any of the film as a separate part/guide to replacing it, but that may aid your search.

    If I had to guess I'd say it was pretty unlikely though.

    Edit: these people may be worth talking to (I found that from a Google search, have no affiliation or knowledge); although they seem to mostly specialise in adding the coating to screens that don't have it, they should be able to advise whether it's possible to repair or replace yours.
