X1 Carbon Gen 1 Touch to Non-Touch

[RiSource]

Hi!

 

So, I have a first gen X1 Carbon touch. It was given to me as a gift by my dad. Now, it has a broken touchscreen. Is it possible to replace it with an lcd that isn't touch? I've read on some forums that it isn't possible because of bezels etc. Well, what if I replace the whole LCD assembly? (The whole top lid). It is a lot cheaper than the touch variant assembly. It'll also make my x1c thinner. 

 

Thank you!

I would suggest getting the touchscreen option anyway.

You don't know the specifics on the logic board, maybe the connector is different. Or your motherboards doesn't understand an normal display.

I am actually not sure here, a part of me would say no, but I am far from sure.

OP you could send ThinkPad support a mail asking if the screen would work with your laptop, they should know.
