On the other hand, screen assemblies for the c101pa - an updated model that Asus issued a couple years later - are impossible to find. Does anyone know if they take the same 10.1 inch screen used by the earlier model? Maybe there are no screens for the c101p because it uses the same screen? I would sure like to hear from someone who knows before I take the plunge. Thanks!

I looked into ordering the screen repair kit but found it was almost as expensive as a new chromebook. So my question is, is there a way I can just disable the touchscreen function? I don't mind only using it in laptop mode.

Thank you

Of course, there’s slightly more to that story: a week or so ago my left hinge snapped. The internal silver wing (inside the screen case) was in two pieces, which had forced the screen case open and spat the left-hand screw at me (I removed the other one to prevent it from breaking further and had a peak inside the screen case; immediately determined it was something I couldn’t fix/jerry rig with what I had on hand, and had to resort to buying a set of replacement hinges off eBay for ~$17). When I replaced the hinges—which was done at home—and reassembled the computer everything seemed to have been working fine, the touch screen responded—though I’d run the battery down because the damned thing would not stay off while I was trying to crack it open, so it’s not the best test I could have done—and I set it aside to charge over night. Well, the next morning the damned touch screen wasn’t working anymore.

So, there’s the full depth of my problem—the only history I haven’t gone into is that I bought it refurbished off Amazon; hence the tape inside the screen, I bet—and I’d appreciate any insight (even if it’s just calling me an idiot for running the battery down instead of finding a better way to go about keeping the computer off.). I’m starting to suspect one of my wires got pinched during reassembly and charging the computer caused a short (I don’t smell a short, but I don’t exactly have the best sense of smell) and I’m going to have to resign myself to finding a mouse (which will hopefully let me do some of the touch-only functions I can’t seem to get to work on the touchpad) until I can replace my Chromebook.

Thanks!

A visual inspection of the motherboard shows no obvious signs of damage, so I’m hoping it’s just the port(s) that are fried. Does anybody know the part number and where I might go about acquiring replacement USB-C ports for the C101PA? I’m comfortable doing the hot-air rework.
