    As the topic title sais.
    Just received this probook 6560b as my new work laptop. This machine is very nice, the build is great. I mean, I am really satisfied.
    But (there's always a but), the screen is 1366x768.
    So, if I order 1600x900 panel, can I do the upgrade? Is it possible?

    If it's of any help, AIDA64 reports that I have this panel: LG Philips LP156WH4-TLD1 and here can be seen that this is a 40 pin connector panel.
    Does this mean that I do not need to replace the screen cable?

    You need the panel and the cable which will be listed in the 6460b maintenance manual. Also discussed in the 8460p section (I think)

    Well, I didn't thought about that :eek:
    But, I guess it's not going to be a problem, because the Hewlett Packard General Manager in my country is a friend of mine :D

    I was hoping that there's a chance to make the upgrade without the cable. It's crazy expensive here, almost the same price as the panel.
