Swapping a standard screen with touch screen?

[jamesrmiles]

Hi All,

Bit of an odd one I was hoping you could help me with. I have a broken Acer Aspire V5-472P (house mate managed to fry the motherboard with beer) and a recently purchased replacement the Acer Aspire V5-473.

The specs and frame to me seem practically identical, except for the V5-472P having a touch screen. I wanted to know (before going ahead and taking it apart) if it is possible to swap the standard screen currently on my V5-473 with the V5-472P's touch screen? I just wanted to know if anyone knows if they are compatible?

Any information would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks, James.

If I were a betting man, I would guess that they are different. You might have to use both the cable and the screen from the 473. It is worth opening them up and taking a look though. If they have the same motherboard you can probably get it done.
