    Hello

    I have the displayPort connector terminated.
    I can buy these from Dell, or do I buy the whole display?

    LG, Nafura

    the cable is not available.
    the whole display will cost me € 500-600 ...
    who knows an address where you can buy spare parts?

    I've never seen just the cable on ebay, or anywhere for that matter, I've seen the webcam and inverter board by themselves occasionally.

    OP, are you referring to the actual displayport connector on the side of the laptop? all the ports on that side of the laptop are apart of the main board, and you would have to go through dell for a replacement, else someone hopefully knows where to purchase an R2 mainboard as I do not.


    or are you referring to the big LCD connector that connects to the mainboard? technically it is replaceable, but I do not know of where to find an inverter board cable separately.
