    The video cable met an unfortunate end. :( I need a new or used one.

    Thanks

    Yeah, none of those seem to be the right one. The sellers only describe them as CF-51 cables. The Pentium M uses a different cable than the Core Duo. The pictures all show a single cable. Mine has 2 harnesses coming off the main plug.

    Is your screen a "UXGA"? Since the seller is using a generic picture I would email him because a new one is $28.56 + s/h :eek: . I ordered one for a member 4 months ago .

    No, it's not UXGA. The problem I see is that no seller tells you what Mk the cable came from. The Mk3LL has 2 cables from the video connector that power the LCD and the inverter. Apparently the Pentium M CF-51's power the inverter a different way. I'll be contacting the sellers to see what they say.

    Do you want my "spare" 51 w/ bad mobo and etc? Includes cable. Or I'll part it out maybe.

    I'll check but I think it's a 51RCLDFBM.
