Hello, I am in need of a new lcd screen for my d600 as it is out of warranty and is showing lines running down one particular part of the screen, which I know is due to a connection fault at the top of the lcd that cannot be fixed cheaply.
Anyway, my question is what screens are compatible with this laptop? I know I could get the exact same one that came out of it but these usually go for a lot of money and there must be some other ones that will work. I'm guessing that most laptops use similar lcds I would just like to know what in particular I should be looking out for when looking for a replacement. It doesn't seem anywhere likes to list all the compatible lcds as they prefer to make you think you have to get the exact same screen at a greater cost rather than something cheaper but just as compatible. As you can imagine I have all the leads so it's just a question of the basic lcd part working in my computer.
I'm expecting that there are probably a few things to look out for that, maybe lcds with certain power ratings, the same types of connection and I guess something describing how the electronics work, which there are possibly a few standards.
Thanks!
Michael
