Sourcing a screen unit for an Asus Q542U

Open | Hardware

Hello! Sorry if this is the wrong sub, but I'm in need of a new screen. I recently posted to r/computerrepair but as it seems this sub gets more traction, I wanted to xpost here as well:

So the story goes I received a free (to me) Q542U with the stipulation that the poor thing's screen has been long dead.

Looking around, it seems like there aren't exactly a lot of spare screens kicking around - plenty of digitizers, though. Does anyone with more laptop repair experience have any ideas as to where to source one, or am I just sorta hosed?

Or maybe I'm just missing something and should be looking for the screen model number instead, any advice would be useful.

Ty! 💖

eBay has been where I've sourced most of my repair parts.

Same. An hour or so of casual browsing hasn't turned much up, though :/
