Has anybody had any experience in upgrading LCD in laptops? I have a
Bondwell laptop I like very much, except that it has an old TN LCD with
poor contrast and viewing angle. I'd like to replace this with a
supertwist display with backlight. There seems to be enough room behind
the display to get a very slim backlight in. What I was more concerned
about was the electrical compatibility of the displays. The Bondwell
uses a custom display driver bearing no part number. Given the tight
construction, extensive electronic modifications are impracticable. I
can't just simply get a newer laptop, as the Bondwell has unique
features not present on any current machine, features I have to have.
