    I have a R2 but with a CCFL type lcd, the color and autodim feature is pretty bad, and i want to upgrade to RGBLED :eek:
    So i order a RGBLED panel, and the seller give me a LP171WU5 (TL) (A1), but i don't know whether it work or not in my system :confused:
    i do some search and found that member makwu tried the A2 version and it work, so may my A1 work as well? i read somewhere in this box that wrong panel can fry my mainboard :confused: and i want to make sure before trying to peel the glass away! :(
    many thanks in advance
