    So I've been researching LCD replacement screens like mad, and have come down to wanting this one:

    MGNC7 17.3FHD, WLED, LVDS, LGD

    I really want this screen for my M17x R3. Buying them on eBay is looking like sellers tag the part number on when it is just an LCD panel. Does anyone know if you buy it from Dell Parts, if it comes with the assembly?

    I spoke to Dell Parts to ask them what I need to buy for a replacement screen, and they referred to:

    7TJJN Hinge-Up Assembly

    This looks like it includes panel VCV1F (1080p) and the whole assembly (all wires). They also want like $720!!

    :(

    I tried calling every department that Dell had and borderline begging on the phone... looks like they do not officially sell the M17x R3 bezel in any means, and just want you to buy 7TJJN at $905. UGH
