The company for whom I work uses LCD displays by two or three manufacturers
(such as Hyundai and LG), the same displays being used over a very large
range of laptops. What I'm saying is that there is a good chance you will
find a compatible display. Naturally both displays should be the same size
and both should have the exact same sockets and plugs for the flat signal
cable and the inverter cable. Both should have the same maximum resolution.

I am not familliar with many brands of laptops and how to get at the
components. Unfortunately it's often not easy to work out if some part of
the cover snaps in, slides in or is screwed in. The sound of cracking
plastic is not a nice thing.

If or when you do get access to the actual panel, and you find that your
replacement display is compatible, be careful with plugging the flat signal
cable into the lcd panel socket. Slide it in gently, parallel. It is easy to
bend a pin, and it would be a dog of a thing to straighten it.

Good luck.

Henry.
