    XPS M1330 CCFL and LED Interchangeability?

    Hi, I am wondering if it is possible to use the CCFL LCD in my XPS M1330 which was shipped with the LED backlight. I will also be getting a new lid and bezel while I am at it. Will I run into any issues? Are the plugs in the motherboard any different between the two LCDs? Thanks.
