Laptop touch screen broken

I have toshiba satellite c55dt-a5106, it’s a touch screen laptop, laptop fell and touchscreen broke. I don’t have need for touch screen so I removed glass but now display doesn’t have front plastic mask. So I was wondering can I put that plastic border/mask from some non-touch toshiba laptop. Because I was searching for it by first half of serial number (c55dt) in hope that non-touch model exists. But I didn’t have luck.

I hope I explained it clearly thanks in advance.

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

HI:

I may have your explain wrong, but lets go ahead any way. The glassy front of a touch screen is the touch part that works like a mouse (touch screen). This is what I think you broke and you have removed the hard plastic or glass. This leaves you with the screen visible and working but you would like some protection for your led screen so it will not get damaged.

I hope you have disconnected the connection ribbon to the laptop so it will not short out.

The broken touch part is available if you look for one on e-bay and retail stores but they want as much as a led screen. I have pondered this with my broken touch screen and while waking around Home Depot have found a solve that depends on how a DYI you are. Get a piece of Plexiglas and fit it in your bezel. I have found a thin piece and used my Dremal to shave it to fit on top of the bezel and hot glue it on the front of the Bezel. Clean the LED screen carefully with lens cleaner and the inside of the Plexiglas then snap the Bezel on and now you have protection. The touch screen is called 15.6" Digitizer Glass Touch Screen Replacement for Toshiba Satellite C55DT-A5106 .

Good luck
