The part number that you are looking for has been highlighted above, and in this case is LP133WX2 (TL) (A1). When you have the part number you should call or email us (sales@pcideals-direct.co.uk) to purchase the correct screen, or alternatively type the part number into our search engine for online ordering.
There are many variations of the part number. An example of other similar part numbers may be:
- LP156WH1
- B089AW01
- CLAA154WA01
- LTN141AT02
In rare cases you may find that the part number is not listed on the rear of the screen. In such a case you will need to manually identify 3 different aspects - the type of screen (whether it is LCD - which requires an inverter for the backlight - or LED), the size of the screen (diagonal measurement), and it's resolution. Once you have this information you should contact us so that we can find a screen that will be compatible with your particular laptop. To identify this information simply use the 3 checks below.

Check 1 of 3 - The image shown to the right is an Inverter powered CCFL screen with 1 backlight. The back of your old screen will look very similar to the example image. Two thin wires, usually white and pink or black in colour) come out from the bottom of the screen and have a white connecting plug at the end. This connector plugs into what is called an Inverter. The Inverter is the backlight source of your screen and usually comes in the form of a long, thin circuit board. It is normally located underneath the screen but can also be positioned to the rear of the LCD panel. LED screens do not have an inverter board as this function is built in to the screen.

Check 2 of 3
Screens are always measured diagonally, and you should not include the metal frame surround or the plastic bezel in your measurements. The image opposite shows where the screen should be measured. |

Check 3 of 3 - The example screen shown is 1280 x 800 pixels
If your old laptop screen is partially usable, you can find the maximum resolution it supports by going into the Control Panel and seeing how far you can push the resolution slider to the right. DO NOT DO THIS WITH AN EXTERNAL SCREEN - you will be viewing the maximum resolution of the external monitor not the internal LCD screen.
