    Hello all,

    I have a Dell Vostro 1500 (bought in 2007). I recently dropped it and the screen backlight got damaged. I ordered a new screen off eBay. I need help figuring out whether the screen that I ordered is compatible with my laptop. Here are the specs:

    Original Screen:
    Manufacturer: AU Optronics
    Model: B154EW02

    New Screen:
    Manufacturer: AU Optronics
    Model: B154EW02 V.6

    The original screen doesn't have any version number, but the new one is V.6 (I'm assuming V stands for version).

    Does the version number make any difference?

    Thanks in advance,
    Anirudh
