    I'm trying to replace a broken LCD in an Acer 5570Z. The existing part number is "LP141WX1(TL)(A2)". I can find plenty of LP141WX1, but there is this suffix E5 A2 etc in eBay listings and I don't know what it means. Anyone know?

    You will be fine. It's just different hardware revisions of the same model. The higher the letter the newer it is.

    I found a "LP141WX1(TL)(A2)" and figured it would be identical, but it wasn't. The cables are different. I was able to swap the cables, but it involved a lot of removing tape and stuff. They didn't have the same number of pins, but it works, surprisingly enough. :D Phew.
