Laptop LCD swap help!

[imported_Pineapple]

Hey hey, I'm trying to repair a latop (Dell 1150) with a cracked and bleeding 14.1" LCD! Now I have an LCD out of a Compaq, and it's also 14.1".. the Compaq fits perfectly into the Dell bracket, the only thing that's giving me trouble is the connectors.. they're different on both the motherboard end and the LCD board end.

Now I'm not against splicin' up wires here, but I can't find any sort of pinouts for either of these LCD's... I'm also hoping there's a better solution, perhaps some sort of adaptor? I'm open to just about any suggestions... my last resort is buying one off eBay but that's really only last resort.

Here's the model numbers off both LCD's and their respective cables:

DELL (CRACKED)
LCD: LTN141XB-L01
CABLE: CN-OP3547-12961-481-M05C

Compaq (GOOD)
LCD: UB141X02 / B141XG03
CABLE: AA9550500006S0

Thanks again,
-Dan

you cant just swap any old lcd in there. you need to get one specifically designed to fit with the laptop

I tried to replace the connectors on two identical lcds on an IBM and it was next to impossible.. needed three hands and a microscope. go for ebay and save your patience!!
