it seens a little bit late that i found this topic. i wanna change the lcd since the day i brought my N5010 a few weeks ago cause its dimension sucks. i even found the panel model i wanna replace to - LP156WF1, but after knowing that replacing the lcd panel requires change the cable too, i really feel disappointed

Grantchan, really the cost of a cable shouldn't be off putting, it's a small price to pay to have your new screen up and running. If you do decide to go ahead with the upgrade please reply back here with your results.

LVDS cable shouldn't be more than like 20-40 dollars.

However when he upgraded it the colors were all messed up and pixel-ey. He had to order the LVDS cable from the 1080p XPS 15 and then it worked good. So you will likely need to order a different LVDS cable and I'm not sure if that is guaranteed to work in the N5010.

EDIT: Nvm it may not work.



L501x and likely the XPS 15z had the additional connector that the N5010 doesn't have.

On the first image (501x) that little cable(3) is not for displaying picture on the screen. It is digitizer board cable, and it's used for touch screens or touch panels or something like that. So I think there's still a Hope.

I'm going to order new LVDS FHD Cable (V73D3) for my Dell N5110 and I will see if it works.

I don't think it is a digitizer cable as XPS 15 was never sold with multi-touch capabilities to my knowledge. Not sure if it is for the B+RGLED screen or has to deal with the ability to get 1080p, probably the first part as full channel LVDS cables can do 1080p just fine.
