    Sorry I don't know. But you are really considering this upgrade? It makes no sense, sorry.

    I have to agree with powerpack since replacing a normal screen sometimes cost more than the value of the laptop itself.

    THanks for the advise, but i am just wondering and how is a new screen, almost as much as the laptop???? How do you figure? :confused:


    The prices i see are anywere from $100-250 for a LCD screen. Thats cheap or the same price ($200) for a LED screen upgrade form HP. Also i would be installing the screen my self, i am not letting anyone else do some thing so easy. The price is about the same. Thats not including selling your old LCD
