Need assistance replacing the screen assembly for the ASUS Q550LF (touchscreen).
Is there a similar ASUS model that may have a guide on replacing the screen (to use in replacing the ASUS Q550LF screen)?

That's a video for replacing the screen on a Q500A. Not sure if it is quite the same build, but at a glance they appear to be similar. Should at least provide you with a starting point since there usually isn't too much of a difference in how things are connected in a laptop.

unfortunately it seems the q500a has a around-the-screen bezel, while the Q550LF has a screen bezel going all over the screen itself

Hm, I see. Hadn't considered that. I wasn't able to find any guides on disassembly/repairs involving the display. It seems to be pretty new, and the only things out right now are guides to replace the HDD. I'm thinking you might have better luck getting it repaired by ASUS, if you aren't comfortable attempting it without a guide.

It's currently at Asus and they want to charge $409 for the repair (compared to the $147 estimate...idiots). Disputed and awaiting a response. Do you think if I bought a new screen assembly (can get one for $90 on eBay), the repair would be any bit straight forward?

Are you sure you can get it for that cheap? I did a quick look at what's available on eBay (U.S. based) and while there are some close to that $90 price, they don't appear to include the digitizer/touch screen, and are just normal LCD displays. I'm honestly not certain how easy it would be since I don't have experience with touch screen displays, but typical LCD displays are not all that hard to install, just a matter of connecting cables and popping/screwing the display into place.

The screen assembly I found is for Asus N500JV. But, the screen bezel's part number on the n550jv matches the part number on the q550lf screen bezel. What I don't really know is the part number for the actual screen on the n550jv, but I do know the one for the Q550LF.


Basically;

LCD BEZEL - Same on both models.
LCD - Unknown weather same not.


I know the N550JV is touch screen and also 1080p. I think it would work.
If I choose to go down the road of installing that myself, would you be able to help if I posted pics of the laptop and such?

I'm really a better tinkerer when I can physically touch and mess with things, but I'll certainly try. I'm sure there are a number of other users who would be happy to assist and offer advice as well.

You mentioned that the laptop was currently with ASUS, so I'm thinking it will probably take you anywhere from a few days to a little over a week to get it back and be ready to try. I'd suggest possibly starting a new thread at that point, because this one will have long since been buried haha.

In the meantime, try to track down a screen that matches yours exactly. No sense taking unnecessary risks. Perhaps ASUS could sell you one at a reasonable price and ship it back with your laptop for you to assemble yourself? Could be worth asking them.

99.9% sure they wouldn't do that. I had found an LCD ONLY for $200 on eBay...forget that. There is sense because it's cheap and it probably works. There's a return policy so if not....

Also do you know what component actually makes the laptop touchscreen? is it the LCD? Is it the bezel? thanks.
