I have a Compaq Presario V5201US with a smashed screen, I need to know which models will be compatible to replace screen with. I went to a computer thrift store where they sell scraptops, I got differing opinions. A couple said it had to be exact model, and few others said only few model compatible. So If you can please tell me what will work on my computer I would greatly appreciate it. Thankyou

you wont have much luck unless you use a screen from the exact model. unless you find a screen with matching part numbers, which is near impossible.

When replacing a laptop screen, the exact model screen is the recommendation. There are far too many variables to attempt 'mixing and matching' screens.

Find a site which specializes in laptop screen replacements (there are many of them), then see what screen your laptop is using (all models). Then try to find out other models / makes that use same screen.
