Why did the matrix of the laptop break?

Question

Do it yourself

Good evening, dear habravchane!

Today, a painfully unpleasant story happened: I damaged the matrix on my acer aspire 5740 laptop. I

immediately remembered that somewhere a laptop with a burnt HP COMPAQ PRESARIO CQ61-318ER chipset was lying around.

Tell me, please, is it possible to take a matrix from hp and put it in your acer, that is, are they interchangeable, because I don’t want to waste time on a rearrangement if all efforts in the end turn out to be in vain.

Answer 1

Most likely you can. Now, on most laptops, matrix connectors are standard. The most famous exception is MacBooks :)

Answer 2

It is forbidden.
The Acer 5740 has a 40-pin LED-lit connector.
The Presario CQ61-318ER has an older screen with a 30-pin connector and CCFL backlight.

Answer 3

Even if it’s not possible, you can rewrite the matrix markings and google where the same one is sold. They cost a couple of thousand rubles, which sometimes justifies repairs.
