Is glass required for functionality
Laptop was a throw away from a client. She dropped it and spider cracked the glass in several places. Touch screen works only in one spot. The LCD is clear and functioning fine. Only the glass, and therefore the digitizer and bezel is busted. As it was free, I don't want to drop $100-$500 (myself repairing and an estimate from a local business") if I don't have to. I don't ever use the touchscreen, nor find it necessary.
My question(s) - can I remove the glass digitizer and bezel and leave the LCD exposed? Only the glass and digitizer is cracked, no missing pixels or color distortion. LCD looks untouched. For now :)
I'd rather not have to buy a new slim laptop, or spend more money on repairs than it's worth.
Is this a good question?
