I also have a digitizer problem with my 1945. Essentially it's
supposed to be a very delicate operation and not recommended for the
casual enthusiast. Here's a response that I received from Pockettechs:

Hi Mark,

We don't sell the part out since it's extremely fragile and due to contract
restraints.

We can do the repair here for you.
