Asus K53TA screen upgrade?

[elpenoso]

What about a 720 screen with better a contrast ratio?

I broke my screen and need a replacement, I would rather upgrade to something better if possible. I have checked some of the sites mentioned in this thread and they fail to mention the specs of the screens.

What is the best screen that will be compatible?

I'm wondering if a simple cable switch will allow the upgraded panel to function properly. Hopefully the necessary hardware is onboard but Asus just skimped on the cable since the dual channel cable wasn't necessary for the resolution the built in panel was capable of.

Don't want to double post but it seems the thread has gone stagnant and I'm still wondering if a cable swap will make the display work.

This is something i have no definitive answer for, however, i would venture that if the connector pins are there on the motherboard, it will work.

If you try a new cable, please post your results.

You already have the screen and have attempted it, I was wondering if you were planning on trying a new cable with it.

Ehhh... have you tried finding anywhere to buy a new cable from? The cheapest I've found is nearly $50(shipping included) for one, which is outrageous. Cheapest I can find: Worlds Greatest Site for Asus Spare Part

If I can find something $30 or less I could afford to experiment with this right now, but I'm a little hard-pressed at this time.

Awesome, let us know how it goes, I really want a 1080p screen for my K53TA

It works, but I need an adapter to switch the side of the LVDS cable to allow it to go through the left hinge to the mobo. Also, you would have to sacrifice your webcam because apparently the stock LVDS cable also connects that, which is probably why it doesn't provide the necessary power to the monitor despite having the right number of cables and such. I'm going to opt out for now since I need my webcam. Good luck with whatever you decide to do.

Im going to try N55SF LDVS CMOS MIC FHD for my Asus a52f x3 laptop, I already bought the B156HW01 V4 screen, it kind of works on my stock LDVS cable, its missing wires for the right colors.
