    Got a Vaio VPCCB15FG

    The screen is faulty (causing flicking lines) so I got a new one installed it but it didn't work. Wouldn't turn on at all. Plugged the old screen back in and it powered up

    Tried the new screen in another laptop and it powered up fine
    Tried the old screen in another laptop and it showed the fault I have got with it

    After looking into this I was told that the screen was not compatible with the laptop so I sent it back and got another screen that was compatible

    Plugged the new screen in and got the same problem again (not powering up)

    The screen that is faulty is a LP156WF1 (TL)(C1) and the new screen I have is a LP156WF1 (TL)(B2). Only difference between these screens is one is gloss and one is matt

    After looking into this more it looks like the laptop is not detecting the new screen at all. Can plug a external screen into the laptop and get a display fine. When I look into the monitors in device manager it only shows 1. With the old faulty screen it shows 2

    Wondering if there is some sort of reset that has to be done for it to detect the new screen or something I have missed when connecting the new screen

    There might be a DIP switch (8 pins) on motherboard for different LCD panel.
    If so, you can try adjust the switch at different combination for new LCD screen.
