Laptop panels are fairly generic, you don’t need an HP screen for an HP laptop for example. There are numerous places selling them including laptop screen.com, or on eBay. Be sure to get the same size, resolution, backlight type, and connector as the screen you are replacing. Often there is a sticker on the back of the screen with a model code you can search for (e.g.. LP140WH3)
