My daughter has dropped her Chromebook and cracked the touchscreen:



It's a Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 3 CB 11IGL05. The screen still works fine as shown, but the touch function is FUBAR.

I'm trying to work out whether something like this is what I need to fix it, or if I need something more.

Thanks!

You'll likely need a touch screen digitiser also by the sound of it.
You need to check with the suppliers, as there's a good chance a listing like that is only the display panel.
No touch digitiser = No touch input

Sometimes you'll get both the display panel and the digitiser available as a kit.

Thank you - that's what I was wondering.
