Replacing a Laptop LCD - compatibility issues

Thanks in advance for any help here....

Well the trauma is over, but now I need advice on finding a compatible LCD for my Dell paperweight. After much searching for the actual LCD unit that I need (Samsung 14.1" SXGA LTN141P2-L01 LCD) and not being able to find one for less than $1000.00, which is priced ~$300 more than a replacement from samsung, I was wondering if there is anyone out there who can hep me find a guide or offer some guidance in a different replacement unit that is compatible with a Dell Insp 8100 with the GF2Go video?
(Nice run-on sentence ehh ?)


I dont really want to pay dell 250 to diagnose and 700 for the repair of something that I can do myself for 600-800 bucks.

Also-Im currently trying to aquire a unit from Samsung, but the search for a middleman is nto going well.

Thanks for looking Anander's




 
Thanks for the link.

I am now wondering if I can get away with getting a 14.1" LCD that is not SXGA but uses the same connector from Samsung.

Apparently the L01 is the connector type that the Unit uses to interface with the hardware, but is this only thing that NEEDs to be compatible with my laptop? I have found several XGA LCDs that I can get my hands on that use the L01 connector.
 
You also need the connector in the right place, or the cable wont reach, plus the mounting/screw points may not be the same
