Great info and instruction. But….. amazone does not ship to The Netherlands.
Hi Cees,
You can look for products sold on amazon in different countries using the ASIN number.
Here's a link for the Netherlands: https://www.amazon.nl/dp/B071HW4Z6N
Good luck with your repair!

Thanks a lot! Great info.
Yes yes yes. Both my Aranet’s work again.
Thanks for the guide! I successfully repaired my Aranet4 by following it. A couple of notes:
- I was able to get a better price than Amazon for the replacement display at https://www.waveshare.com/product/displa....
- The connector for the flexible printed circuit board on my model didn't flip up, but instead slides forward. I found documentation for the connector (or something very very similar to it) here: https://www.te.com/content/dam/te-com/do... (search for "Stuffer Actuator (Plunger Style)")
