    I have a Sony Vaio laptop, VGN-FW520. The screen is damaged. Does anyone know if all the FW series would have the same screen? In other words, any screen with the same size and number of lights would fit mine? Please help..

    this place is exactly the site I am looking to buy from. my question is all models in the FW series have the same size screen, 16.4". my model is not listed there but the part info says it is 16.4" screen with single ccfl, wxga++. screens listed for other fw models have the same specs. would any of these screens fit mine if they have the same specs?

    You have 1600x900 glossy? I would "think" if you got the equivalent panel for the 4xx series it would work. They probably just don't have the 5xx models listed yet. You could email them?
