Konica Minolta 7D LCD Diplay- where to get this part

Try the Dyxum Boneyard thread . . .

If you can get a GGS/FOTGA/JYC glass LCD screen protector, you can remove the broken LCD and replace it with one of those. Heat the LCD screen with a hair dryer to soften the adhesive around the edge and gently remove the top LCD screen from the body and then thoroughly clean the ridge where the LCD screen sits (there's a small lip so it needs to be totally clear of any residue). Remove the adhesive film from the JYC/FOTGA/GGS screen and accurately place it into the camera. Job done!

Screens can be bought very cheaply on evilBay. I can't see one specifically for the 7D, but there are plenty listed for 2.5" screens, so worth asking the vendor if they know if it will be compatible, though the standard size for these is 56.5mm horizontal x 45mm vertical, so if the 7D LCD screen is that size, then you'll be fine. See items: 321159750570 and 320937927586 as examples.

I very much doubt you'll find an OEM glass LCD screen, so these will be every bit as good, though do check the dimensions (in mm) first.

I'm assuming it's the screen cover and not the actual LCD itself. That said, there is a forum for dead 5D/7D DSLR's on Dyxum, so it may be worth asking there if anyone who has a dead 7D would be prepared to remove it and sell it to you (no harm in asking). See the Boneyard thread.
