Over the last few weeks my very old laptop (N7110) had an intermittent problem with the screen (not turning on etc) and appears to have now completely died. The laptop itself POSTS and working fine when connected to an external monitor via VGA, but the laptop screen remains dead regardless.
I taken the laptop apart and checked (and rechecked) the screen cables are seated correctly but the problem persists. I now removed the screen completely with the intention to replace - the model number is LP173WD1 TLN1 and a quick search suggests a replacement is around 60 quid? However, I also noticed another model number LP173WD1 TLA1 is available for significantly less....
A quick google search seems to suggest they are very similar - the only difference I can see is a higher C/R (contrast ratio?) on the A1. Both have the same resolution and 40 pin connector...
Am I better purchasing the like for like, or can I make a small saving by opting for the cheaper version - appreciate any comments or suggestions
Thanks.
