Introduction

The touch screen on the ASUS Chromebook C101P is great for work as a tablet or as a simple screen. Like other laptop screens, this one is equally susceptible to breaking or not responding. Replacing it is a little tricky, requiring not only the screen, but the hinge to be removed as well. It is advised to turn off the Chromebook before taking apart the screen.
