Why not use another option?
You can search on Internet websites, like ebay, for exactly the same original faulty devices. Disassemble and take the parts need, that is, use them as donors of spare parts, such as the display that you need.
It makes no sense to do that and pay multiple times higher price for something that will again get dim soon, display for all devices goes dim after few years of usage.
Price of new display is less than 2 dollars, and I doubt you can find broken ledger with same price, those ebay auctions will get higher price than 1 Eur for sure, plus you have to count shipping cost if they even ship outside Germany.
More important is security and would you want to reveal to someone that you purchased ledger over Ebay or not.
Ordering New part from Alibaba is not saying anyone that you own Ledger, because this display is used in other other devices, not just of ledger.

Also, I noticed that there are no lots with spare parts for Ledger devices on ebay, for example, displays, cases, buttons. Take note, sellers and do not thank for the suggested business model Smiley.
Sure there are a lot of spare parts because those devices breaks very easy, and they are very low quality  100% made in China.
They do however have good marketing and they sold millions of devices unfortunately Tongue
