--- End quote ---

You should be able to solder a ribbon cable onto the custom LCD connector, they are rather thin though & lots of them....

I'd imagine you cut both ends of the screen cable and solder directly to those, they are about 5 -10 monies to get on ebay for that model so it is worth a try.

CpCaveman:
ok final questions to clarify (thanks for the help all)

1. as long as i connect the ribbon (is it a ribbon?) connections from where they are to where theyre going to doesnt matter what type the cable is
2. how many is lots roughly? more than 10?

your answers are not legally binding, and if I mess it up its going in the bin anyhow :)

CoryBee:
I think you could call this a ribbon cable...but I meant to extend to the length needed you could use a hard drive ribbon cable in between the two connectors of the laptop screen



Without the model number I can't be sure but your laptop screen will have a connector like these (I have many screens and connectors so I chose a samsung model)

Back of the LCD screen



LCD Connector (to screen)



LCD Connector (to motherboard)

CoryBee:
Not pretty, but you get the idea.



You will have to extend the two wires from the "inverter board" as well, but that is a piece of cake obviously.



Hope any of this helped!
