Can a touch screen be replaced with a non-touch screen? Still struggling to Find the answer

Can a touch screen be replaced with a non-touch screen?  Still struggling to Find the answer.

My son has a 3 month old laptop with a touchscreen.  Unfortunately he cracked the screen.    The actual picture is fine, but the screen cover is cracked.    After much searching we found the replacement cost…..all in is some $500.  I am trying to find out if the screen can be replaced with a non touch screen.  This will save him $250.   I cannot seem to get the answer from HP, despite having been a client for many years. 

He ordered the HP Pavilion dv6t Select Edition customizable Notebook PC. The product number is XC102AV.

It also shows a product number ww146av .  The connector is on the bottom left of the screen. 

I am pretty sure that the part number, per the manual, is 631019-001

I had been getting helpful replies from “Erico”, but have not heard back on this issue.

Hi,

I am still waiting for an answer as well. I haven't forgotten you. Since it is just after the holiday period perhaps an answer will come reasonably soon.

Best regards,
