    My x360 recently got damaged in an exam hall :(.

    The bottom left of the screen cracked and thus I now have a very annoying black section there.

    Does anyone happen to know the part number of the screen so I can purchase a replacement?

    Samsung unfortunately also will not cover the replacement despite the laptop being a mere 3 weeks old :(, so recommendations for suppliers is also welcome. Better still, would be if there are other screens which sport a higher resolution.

    It is all very annoying, as otherwise I love the laptop.

    Cheers

    A Samsung authorised repair centre in UK is Digicare:

    Name Digicare Limited

    Fax 0870 112 5441
    Address Unit C, Stafford Park 12, Telford

    Alternatively, you could contact a specialist LCD company such as this (I don't know of one in UK).

    You indicate that you are in Swindon. I don't know if Camlab in Farringdon Road could help. They have a repair service.

    Thanks John,

    Samsung also referred me to Digicare. However they will no doubt charge me for a replacement lcd, as well as labour. I view this as unnecessary expense, as I am sure I can replace it myself.

    It is through specalist suppliers such as the one you supplied whom I wish to eventually purchase the screen from.
