I dropped my laptop and the screen is completely totaled. I can't see anything so I'm trying to fix it as soon as possible.
Doing some research my laptop seems to have a 40pin screen connector according to this website. Now I don't have $150 to spend so I'm looking at alternatives.
For some reason 16in screens seem to very expensive so I was thinking of going with a 15.6in screen that is at a reasonable price with a 40pin connector . I'm not sure of this will work which is my biggest concern. If there are small sides of blank space because it doesn't quite fit inside the screen space I'll be fine with it as long as it works.
The other solution I was thinking about is purchasing a 30pin 16in screen then purchasing something like this 40pin to 30pin converter . I'm not too sure exactly what this does and even if it does what I think it does which is essentially take the 30 pin from the screen and make it compatible with the 40 pin socket on my laptop.
Anyone have any experince replacing screens to let me know if any of these two options that I have looked at will work or not? Thanks
