ok so back ground here.. I boguht my wife a inspiron 15 back 2 or 3 years ago. and one of our children jumped on it by accident not paying attenion jumping on our bed. i am pretty sure that the integrated graphics were crushed because it no longer has any picture with internal scrfeen or external usb nothing.. also the scren thats in it busted so i have to replace the screen anyway and prbably trhe mother board.
OK now that ur caught up.. I found a entire top peice of my laptop except it has the lcd digitizer combo. that doesn't concern me.. that does it what extra hardware componenets do i need to use the touch screen? or is the motherboard the same and it jut plugs into it no converters or boxes w/e it would have. AND YES there was the option to make this one a touch screen for like 150$ extra but i got her an upgraded i5 processor instead.. so ithis isn't so far fetched that its crazy... currently it has the VAW00 LA-9104P Rev: 1.0 (A00) 09-13-2012 made in china but *** im tired of typing i thimnk i've given more than enough info to get us started.. thanks guys..
