    Hi, I need to test the LCD from my M2010 because the screen is blank when booting. Is it ok to connect it to a M1330 (the display connecter and slot look like they're the same)?

    Personally, I wouldn't. The power draw of the 20 inch screen would be significantly greater than the 13 inch screen, and the XPS m1330 may or may not handle the extra current.
