    How hard is it to replace these screens? Also do you think that the CF-52 can be replaced with the CF-51 screen?

    On which model the cf-52 ?


    I know that changing the screen on a cf-29 is very easy so i imagine the cf-52 is easy as well but i have never done one so i would let someone with the knowledge chime in on that.

    yea i mean like I've looked on ebay and i cant find any screens for the cf-52, but see several for the cf-51. they are the same resolutions, do you think I could just use the cf-51 screen?

    If you disassemble the display cover and look for a manufacturers part number you will probably find the lcd is a common model.
    The 52 is just a business class toughbook , nothing to rare I would think.
    I have changed the lcd’s on the 51s and 72s, its easy if you take your time and don’t damage anything.
