Replacing a dell xps 2012 L521x screen.

[Gtx Gaming]

So i bought the above notebook knowing it has a issue with screen and it is out of warranty apparently retail stores only gives you 1 year warranty with xps machines in south africa.

I got it for bargain so i bought it

2/3 screen just displays white , and after hour it shows randoms colours etc.

I booked in at dell certified partner and phone dell and they they will charge me R7300 to replace it??

Hk computers i used before said will be R1700 which is fine . Full hd LED screen have confirmed it with them.

But dell said they need replace the whole screen and bezel that's why its so expensive?
Because otherwise none of the random pc shops will be able to help me if the whole screen and bezel needs to be replaced.

Hope someone can confirm that i can replace the lcd without replacing the bezel!

MAde same post on notebook review forums no reply yet , will post this on dell forums also.

Is this your laptop https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_U21Lc4kGCo ? Looks like the bezel is just glued on and you can stick it back on if you remove it carefully.

Here's a video for different model that could be applicable https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CuxaQdJrP4Q

Nope that's older model

I see guys at pc laptops also made another mark on the back of the lcd , almost like back of lcd has black mark on corner now , where they were trying to open it.

I booked it in HKcomputers to see what they can do.
