would a M570A screen work on a M570RU?

I'm still looking for a replacement screen, I found one but am not sure if it would be compatible? it says it's for m570a.

 

You could try it. but it more depends on the model of the actual screen.

Does anyone know the original model LCD panel on the m570?

I'm using one from my xps 1730 right now. At first it would only flash RGB, it could be my graphics card, more recently it was showing some sort of test pattern so I think its worked it out.

I dont have cooling pads on my GPU yet so I dont want to fully test it yet.

 

I'm still waiting to hear from the seller about the specs of the screen but so far I've had no reply annoys me when sellers on ebay don't answer questions...or answer days after the listing ends. What's the point of that grr. Not gonna buy something that has no full description.....

 

My screen from a dell totally works. Just got into the BIOS and is displaying correctly so it should work for you.

The model is LTN170CT03

 

Did you use your existing inverter or do you need a new one? I've never replaced a laptop screen before, but I think you've guessed that by now

 

It's always better to use the inverter that came with the screen, but if that won't work, as long as the specs of the old inverter are equivalent, it should function.

A word of caution though, I used an old inverter with a new screen once and although the specs were appropriate I could tell that it wasn't 100% compatible as it caused a very slightly hum, which is a bad sign. After 18 months of heavy use it burned out and destroyed the new screen.

 

Useful tip, thanks

 

No, thats a bad idea... I totally disagree and don't at all recommend using a different inverter that wasn't made for the m570...

-They generally don't have the same connectors.
-The backlight on the LCD is the only thing that gets destroyed. These can be replaced somewhat easily and your LCD will be fully functional.
-The voltage that goes to the inverter is 12v-14v at 2a. But this is 2 wires on a 6-12pin connector going to the motherboard, these connections between manufacturers can be entirely different.

basically fluorescent bulbs are simple technology that are a dime a dozen, relative to the cryptic nature of motherboards. Especially when it comes to running them with different voltage than the specification

 

I don't remember the exact setup, but that LCD interfaced with the inverter at two locations, one connection for the backlight, and a second connection for something else, and when the inverter committed suicide it took out the actual LCD as well.

 

ok, thanks for the warning.

 

still haven't been able to find the parts i seek, I thought I did with this ebay seller of pc & laptop parts but he never got back to me about his spare m570.

Is there no where that sells reasonably priced screens & other parts that would fit a m570?

 

Did you try screencountry.com? I've used them several times. Their prices are very reasonable, their warranties are great, they're very fast, and I've never had a problem with any of their screens.

 

They do seem good, unfortuantly my last few purchases from the USA came with with heafty customs fees (which i refused to pay) and returned the items. So that's pretty much put me off bying from the USA, not to mention buying this machine the first place.
I think if I don't hear from this bloke I'll just sell the laptop and stick to my desktop.

 

They're a Canadian company, I don't know how that affects the customs fees.

 

maybe you could try this one ALL NEW SAMSUNG LTN170CT01 17" WUXGA LCD SCREEN - eBay (item 180574705063 end time Nov-13-10 21:10:46 PST)

or this
Notebook Displays und Ersatzteile verschiedene Größen und Auflösungen auf Lager sofort lieferbar - NotebookDisplayShop Reparatur & Ersatzteil Service sofort lieferbar

I'd rather you didn't sell your laptop because of this I'll sell you a screen and try to avoid customs if you want.

 

I have a spare 570u chasis and screen (and processor)

I'm looking for a replacement graphics card for one tho.

 

They are Rock CTX's btw with the 1900x1200 screens

 

I'm just looking for the lid + screen not the whole chassis.

are there any pics of what they look like? i've googled but the images I found were tiny.

Assuming the parts would actually fit my laptop are you willing to sell the spare stuff?

 

Yes - But i need a manual for removing the screens. They should work - I thought the M570U and M570RU were pretty much the same

 

btw you haven't said where you are located? about screen removeal, I thought it was a case of unscrewing and unclipping? but I guess you mean the removal of the actual lid section? for that i am not sure.

 

wow im clueless about the m570u

I can post a guide with pictures on all of the above for my model (m570tu) its probably the same. I believe you just have to remove the screws directly under the hinges (from the bottom) and a few on the back

What happened to your lid assembly again?... just a big dent?
If you get an entirely new one, can I buy that weird right hinge brace from your old one?

 

Left my laptop (closed) on a chair in my room and the phone on the wall fell off and smacked the lid in a few places. (I hate phones)

although the screen being already faulty, it has made it a little worse, darkish area on right side.

anyway if he agrees to sell, i don't see why not.

 

I've already waited 3 months to get it fixed, I hope I can get it sorted soon! I finally got another email from the bloke on ebay but he still hasn't tested his spare laptop...

 

As stated in the other thread, niffcreature is under the wrong impression that you have an M570 RU, so the 8700M won't work and the other parts you have are not compatible with his system unfortunately.

 

I'm lost now, donno who wants or has what....argh why is it so hard to find laptop parts? ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

 

So, if I understand correctly his lid would not fit on a m570ru? is that what your saying?

 

That is correct, the M570U was considerably different to the M570RU (look at the service manuals in my sig). I think the screen should work though.

 

bummer, there does seem to be a lot of clevo bits on ebay but nothing for my one

 

Well, the screen is standard...

 

what do mean by standard? will any 17" WUXGA screen work?

 

Yes.

As in, the ones that wont work are non standard, stuff made for lenovo or apple mostly.

Of course this excludes LED backlit models, they will not work.

The backlight and data connector are exactly the same as those found even on standard 15.4" screens.

 

i'm still looking for a replacement screen 17" WUXGA LP171WU1 TL B2 or whatever is compatible, asked several screen sellers on ebay and they either don't know if their screens will work or don't reply....sob...just want to find a screeeeeeeeeeenW£$%£%^

 

Ah, the LP171WU1, I'm familiar with that screen. It's the stock 1920x1200 screen on the Dell Inspiron 1720.

The LP171WU1, WU2, & WU3 are all drop in replacements for a busted LP171WU1. Same video cable connector, same 2-pin inverter. You don't have to worry about the numbers/letters after the WU1/WU2/WU3, they just indicate the batch and week they were made.

The LP171WU4 & LP171WU5 ARE NOT compatible with a system that has a LP171WU1. The WU4 & WU5 are LED based screens.

Hopefully some of this is helpful to you.

 

wt...why would they say their screens are not compatible grr Thanks man.

 

edit, nope will buy new screen. refuse to let it dieeee.
