Welcome to the forum
I haven't seen any replacement parts from third parties so your only option would be to send it to Microsoft for repair. If you had purchased a Microsoft Complete warranty it may have been covered but otherwise you will likely need to pay for repair.

Be very careful... I seem to recall someone attempting this... but later discovered the screen lacked the digitizer. I don't know if they ever found what they needed or were successful in replacing it which is no small feat itself. Repair centers have equipment for this, they don't use the Rube Goldberg methods of iFixit.

LTL120QL01-001 The parts are leaking out slowly. This is the right part but when you consider that the screen adhesive (most likely 3M vhb strips) is unknown it's an expensive fix.
How much is the Microsoft repair option vs LTL120QL01-001 and required adhesive? A few months and a sp4 release will see this part cost fall but right now it makes more fiscal sense to go with Microsoft repair, Warranty and all that.
Save the trouble and your time and just send it to microsoft. The sp3 is a piece of sophisticated hardware and not something that you can easily dismantle. You might end up messing it up even more and at the end of the day, you have to send it to microsoft and probably paying more in the process.

Well said.
The screen is broken right? He'll make no more mess taking the old screen assembly out and trying to put in a new assembly, than he would have with a broken screen 
The only issue is the adhesive, but as long as he uses VHB strips of suitable thinness he'll be fine! Too many timid people in this thread - the screen is bust - plugging in 2 connections and using suitable adhesive is not the same as soldering a new chip.
The chap didn't ask if it would be tricky, or beyond his abilities. Removing the screen intact would be a *****, if it's broken, easy. His is broken!!! Placing a new one in is simple.
When Microsoft warranty expires and people are repairing these machines more often, then screen replacements on already broken screen surfaces becomes simple adhesive and connection job. Let's face it - he's not attaching a new touch layer to his LCD.
I recommended going with Microsoft because the cost doesn't make sense at current prices for the part.
