    As far as I know this notebook comes with a LED backlit screen so you should replace it with another LED backlit screen.

    What's the model of your current display?
    Do you have an inverter in the screen assembly?

    To answer your question - you can replace CCFL backlit screen with LED backlit one but that requires a conversion screen of sorts as LED backlit ones do not use an inverter.
    There are cables available for some screens/notebooks but it's usually both cheaper and easier to stick with what you already have.

    I meant the model number as reported by i.e. AIDA (aka Everest).

    Anyway - if you have an inverter you do indeed have a CCFL backlit screen.
    You can check the service manual (see the sticky in this forum) and check what screens were used on this notebook (or rather these notebooks since it's a common platform).
    Mind you FRU list in the service manual lists both LED and CCFL backlit ones so you need to verify each model number.
