    they might. The best way to know what model fits will be to physically take the screen out of the laptop and check the model # on the back of it. This way will make sure you get a direct replacement.

    Yes you should be able to take out the LCD by removing the bezel. Here is an example, scroll down to 'screen disassembly': http://forum.notebookreview.com/asus/569879-asus-u80v-partial-disassembly-pics.html

    Basically there should be some rubber bumpers on the display bezel, and under these are screws. After you take the screws off, then you can GENTLY! pry off the bezel using a guitar pick or discarded credit card. It doesn't take a lot of force.

    After you have the bezel off, there are usually around 4 screws holding the actual LCD housing into a frame. Take those off and the LCD will partially come out, you just now have to take off the tape on the back of the screen holding on the connector(s) and then disconnect it.

    Make sure your replacement LCD is the same exact hardware revision. Different hardware revisions can have different (incompatible) connector types.

    Good luck!

    On the back of the LCD there should be a label with the part number. At the end of this number should be a hardware revision. Sometimes it says something like H/W A.0 for example.

    I had no problem finding this model on ebay.

    You can contact different resellers to ensure that their model is compatible, as long as you have the model number and hardware revision number.

    Those are generic replacements, you'd have to get in touch with the seller to know for sure.

    Sometimes even they don't really know, so make sure to buy from one with a good return policy.

    That's why I recommended looking for the exact hardware revision, since it's the only way to know for sure. There should also be a number in between the model and the hardware rev you provided called like V.0 or V.1, etc.

    Here is an example of the label on a similar screen.

    Anyway you should have enough information to find a replacement LCD, just make sure to contact the sellers of the ones you consider to make sure they are friendly and have good policies.

    Dear sir
    thanks for your prompt reply
    B154EW08 is the part number
    please bid the item ,which is the correct LCD

    You could find a more responsive seller... or you can search for specsheet PDFs for the different revisions of that panel and compare the pinouts and connector types.
