Replacing Dell 15R 5537 Touch screen LCDwith FHD non touch LCD

[Zain_25]

The laptop has vertical lines of dead pixels running across the screen and I want to get the LCD replaced. Now the non touch screen model of this laptop has a Full HD variant (1920x1080) as opposed to the standard 1366x768 WXGA HD display while the touch models only come with the WXGA HD LCDs.

Can I replace the LCD of my touch screen model with the FHD one? I have been able to detach the digitiser from the LCD itself and have the hinges and screws so I would assume it would be a simple case of changing one LCD with the other. The replacement touch screen models all come with the digitizer and hinges attached which is not something I require so it would be easier (and cheaper!) if I only got the LCD replaced.

You will have to check the pin configuration. I just replaced the screen on a 15-7537 and while this customer had the 1366x768 WXGA touchscreen, my technician ordered the wrong Full HD screen, and the pins were completely different.
