I've got an Vector 17 HX, which shares the same shell as the GP78, and I want to put a new screen on it but the foam inserts that hold the display on the back case are damaged and the screen can't lay flat. Does anyone know what the foam measurements are so I can replace it? I can't find any information or videos online and the Technical Support couldn't help me with it.

I have thought of getting a new back case but then I would need to move all the cables and pcbs so I would rather not.

I want to repair it myself, they quoted 120 to 170 for repairs, which I don't want to do.
