So I have an ASUS U47A-BGR4, and the laptop screen was cracked (I think someone sat on my bag while it was in there). It was only across a small portion of the screen, and I could use Windows Magnifier to view what was broken, so I wasn't too stressed about it. Until I saw the price of a new screen.
So while I was searching for cheap alternatives I called a local repair shop to ask questions, and the owner told me to bring it in so he could check the part number. I brought it to the shop, and he checked it out. The only part number (which I had already checked and told him while on the phone) was HW14WX107-02. In the process of checking, though, he damaged my screen even more and now it has gone all white! >_____> and he won't be giving me a discount despite him breaking it more. Plus he can't find a cheap compatible replacement.
I was hoping someone could help me out? Here are the specs:
Lcd
LED
40 pin connector
WXGA HD
14"
And the guy from the shop said it was a connector on the left side, but idk if he meant from the back or front, and I don't have the laptop with me atm to check.
ALSO I found that the screen is either an Infovision or a BOEHydis. I can't confirm this though because I only found those as the brand of screen on one site each. If it is BOEHydis, though, I found out that the following screens are compatible (though still extremely expensive, and I probably won't get them if possible):
HW14WX107-04
HW14WX101
HW14WX103
HW14WX104
HW14WX102 is probably compatible (if it exists) but I haven't seen anything about it so i'm unsure.
I'm a broke college student, and I tend to buy the least expensive parts possible (I got a Hard Drive for $22 on Amazon, that's proof enough). So if someone can help me find a cheaper alternative than $98 (laptopscreens.com) or $150 (ebay) please let me know!
