There likely is no way short of replacing the screen - unfortunately, as with most touchscreens these days, the entire assembly needs to be replaced, as the individual parts (digitizer, LCD, etc.) aren't separately replaceable.

As above, you CAN use a non-touch screen but will need to replace the top half hardware that supports it -- you can't just replace the display panel itself.

It is possible, but you'll need to replace the entire top half of the system -- screen, frame, back cover, hinges and cables - plus the LCD panel. This will also, if it's a consideration, void the system warranty.

Hi hitpraj,

Is there a specific reason why you are looking to replace it with a non touchscreen? Is there any issue with the touch LCD, if so, please post a brief about the query and we can help fix it.

Generally, if you do not want to use the touchscreen, we can always disable the touchscreen functionality - so it would not respond and will work exactly like a non-touch.

Keep us updated.

The screen has developed some bright patches after baby oil spill on the laptop. The screen and touchscreen is working perfectly alright. But just it very annoying to work with patches. I checked with other vendor for screen replacement and they can sell the non-touch screen. Do you know how to remove the bright / dark patches developed due to oil spill on the laptop.

Hi,

Since there is liquid spillage, as you are probably aware, the warranty will not cover it. There is no evident way of cleaning the oil patches. You could try using LCD cleaner solution. It might work. As for the screen replacement - as advised by ejn63 - you will have to replace the entire LCD kit - there is no separate panel available.

Let us know if you have any further queries.
