Very confused about part numbers for NX7010 LCD Screen

I've had a flickering screen problem with my NX7010 for a while now and previously asked about it here:

http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=432920

Since then I've changed both the LCD cable and the inverter but flickering problem has not gone away. I'm now assuming it's the backlight but as I've heard the backlight is very difficult to change, I'm hoping to pick up a cheap screen somewhere.

The service manual says these are the options for the NX7010

With carbon finish for use with
HP Compaq nx7000 notebooks
15.4-inch, WUXGA - 337006-001
15.4-inch, WSXGA+ - 337003-001
15.4-inch, WXGA - 337008-001

How do I know if my computer is WUXGA, WSXGA+ or WXGA? Are these interchangeable?

Also, I've looked on eBay and have seen LCDs with part number 337008-001 listed but they don't mention compatibility with the NX7010. They do say they are compatible though with the X1000. Since it's the same part number can I assume that the X1000 and NX7010 use the same screen?

Lastly, I've also seen screens listed on eBay with the part number SAMSUNG (LTN154X1 - L02) and again, it says compatible with 337008-001. Is this LT part number now also an option for me?

Thanks for any input!

 

The difference is the resolution of the panel in pixels.

Check out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Display_resolution for an overview of all the resolutions out there.

WUXGA = 1900 x 1200
WSXGA+ = 1680 x 1050
WXGA = 1280 x 800

 

Thanks. How do I find out the resolution of my screen though?

 

you should be able to check your display/screen properties from windows and see the resolution. (right click on desktop and select properties)

 

OK, so I have a resolution of 1280 x 800 available in my choices (even though I'm not currently running it). I assume that means I have a WXGA screen. What happens if I try to use one of the others in this laptop? Will it still work but with different resolutions available or will it not work at all?

Thanks again. Much appreciated.

 

Do you have any choices that are higher resolution? usually the highest resolution the driver will show is your LCD resolution.. but it will give you the option to run at a lower resolution where it scales the image up to fill the screen.

 

I have no idea if replacing the screen with a different resolution panel will "just work". it might.. it might now. not my area of knowledge.

 

No, 1280 by 800 seems to be my highest choice. I suppose that wouldn't change if I were to change the driver?

Can anyone help me out as to whether a LTN154x1-L02 (part number) screen would work for my computer?

Thanks.
