Screen replacement for HP 15

[Kerah4u]

The screen for my HP 15 laptop broke. It's splitting at the bottom right corner and as a result, I'm unable to close it. Everything else functions as it should. I'd like to know where I can get a replacement screen and get the correct model as well.
My product #: F9H60UA#ABA.
Serial #: [Personal Information Removed]

So is the screen panel still displaying an image? If so the problem is not the screen but the screen hinges which need to be replaced and possibly other chassis parts. Can you post a picture?

You need more than just the screen you also need hinges and goodness knows what else. If it were a car the body shop might call it a "total loss".

Is it better then to get a new PC or is it possible to replace the screen - hinges and all? Any idea where I can source these?

eBay would have the parts but it might be better to just get another laptop of that model maybe with no hard drive and no AC adapter and move your parts over. It will be no more expensive probably cheaper and much easier. Since it was a WalMart model there are likely to be a few of them around for sale as used. 

Here is one in decent shape without an AC adapter for $100:

No way you will find all those parts for any less. There are several for sale for $100-200  and any parts you may need, too. 

Post back if you would rather try to rebuild it from parts. The parts also are fairly cheap. About $50 for the screen and then another $50-60 for hinges and plastic parts but why go all through that if you can just swap over a hard drive?
