What I've found:
1) Its a fairly easy task to replace a screen. You will probably break some small clips somewhere if you don't have a manual, but it will probably still work.
2) Make sure you don't disconnect another small cable (by disconnect I mean break).
3) Even the exact same model of laptop can have different screens and they are not interchangeable. That said, make sure that your inverter card / screen / cable match and you should be ok.
I have inverter screen cable. I have gotten to the point where there are two wires, one under each hinge that need to be disconnected and new ones installed. I have no clue how to get at connections. Any help would be appreciated.
