So welcome to windrivers geefost.

From Hippie_tech's earlier description, I think I'd concluded its all one bit - his remarks 'soldered on' ?

Laptops aren't really my thing, but I guess to give others/me clues to help you, every bit of info you can find will help, so lcd make & any 'mysterious' numbers that might clue up some of the 'googlers' around here .. oh & for what its worth I think the fact that you seemingly can't get the bits seperate, stinks too !
