    Does anyone know if the 9530 screen cable connectors are common across all models?

    I have a 9530 with the 3200x1800 screen that I'm probably going to retire then keep as a backup or sell.

    However earlier today I picked up anohter 9530 with a smashed screen that someone was literally throwing away, it's still fully working via HDMI connector so all is good.

    I'm very tempted to fit a 4K screen to this unit but am not 100% certain that the connecting cables/connectors are the same for all models? The smashed screen was also a 3200x1800 resolution unit.

    afaik yes as it is a common board design. Most websites selling panels show the plugs as well so it will be easy to find out.
