Yes the screen was plug and play! The problem that I encountered was that I had to cut the tape around video cable open, and route it underneath the hinge toward the middle. The 40 pin connector is more towards the middle instead of the left side (original position) thus I had to slightly extend it, to reach where it needs to be. Someone else had done this before on the old notebookreviewforum and reddit. The screen # is B173ZAN03.3. I will see if I can post some pictures soon! It was definitely worth it and I love this machine, still one of the best imo.
