    Hi Everyone
    The screen, well the plexi "edge to edge" protector that covers the LCD screen has been scratched badly and needs to be replaced.
    No one, including Dell so far has been able to find this part.
    My FHD screen is working just find and I m not keen on spending 200 USD to replace it when it's working just fine. All i need is this sheet of plexi that covers it and suppposively protects it.
    I m going crazy ...
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    thanks in advance.

    After hours of calls and search I found the part number.
    If anyone runs into the same issue :

    J343T is the part number, google J343T DELL and you d find

    Loading...

    I m sure they may float refurbished as well. That seem to be a price for a new one.

    I hope that will help anyone who goes thru the same problem.
    Shame to replace the whole screen ...

    If anyone in the US knows where / who would have some in stock please let me know ! If not I'd order one there I guess
