    I've searched and searched the interwebs to no avail...I am rebuilding a smashed-up M17X R3 that had the 1080P 60hz panel in it. The panel itself is shot, and the plexiglass was cracked and I finished it off when I tried to remove it from the rest of the assembly...the metal sub-frame is fine, as are the hinges and everything inside.

    Does anyone have part numbers for JUST the screen and plexiglass panel? Anyone got an old 60hz 1080p assembly they want to get rid of? Any ideas on sourcing these other than ebay, which doesn't have them?


    Need either;

    New 60hz 1080p panel AND plexiglass,

    OR

    Entire 60hz 1080p screen assembly for R3.


    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I'm in the US.

    Laptopscreens.com which matrix linked above is a good start. They are really good to deal with and will have what you need.

    That PCHub link was EXACTLY what I am looking for. Was not having an issue sourcing the panel itself, but the plastic/polycarbonate over-screen. Thank you!
