Hey guys,

I cracked my laptop screen and I plan on buying a replacement screen and taking it to a professional to replace it for me (installation will be cheaper than him buying the screen and replacing it too). The thing is I'm not sure which screen I should be buying. The laptop is a Asus S400C and the touchscreen works fine. The only thing is that the screen cracked. On eBay, I'm seeing things like "LAPTOP SCREEN MATTE", " S400C 14.0" Touch Screen Digitizer Only ", "Touch Screen Digitizer Glass with Frame ", "S400C Touch Screen Digitizer Glass Only ". Not really sure which one of these I should be buying. I will link them below:

Here is a link to the broken screen.

Thanks!

You may want to just have whoever replaces they screen buy what they need. It may cost more but you won't have to worry about paying them to replace it and have it not work right because the part did not match. From the picture of the broken screen you only need the outside glass replaced which is the parts with the ASUS logo on the front.,
