I want to buy a LCD from a X1000, NX7000 or ZT3200 for
my zt3280us, to get one with a higher resolution than 1280x800.
Is it that simple or what else do I have to replace?

It's not that simple, at the very least you need the new screen and a new harness to connect it. I seem to remember it being more complicated then that though. I know that the connection to the WXGA screen was different than the WSXGA+ and higher. Hopefully someone else around here has a little bit more info for you.

Are you able to get a replacement LCD at a reasonable price?

The big thing to remember is that the upgraded LCD screen requires other upgraded components. Although I never did it myself, I remember others saying that the interface cable was different between the WXGA and WSXGA+ screens. Possibly other different parts are required (backlight transformer?). At this point, it's probably not cost-effective to attempt a screen upgrade on this notebook since the resources for researching and purchasing a new screen are just not there anymore.

I just bought a 1920x1200 LCD off ebay. It was listed as for a X1000 or Dell, they are all about the same. It had the cable attached and it fit in the machine perfectly. Works like a charm. Video card recognized it automatically. Just search for WUXGA 15.4 or WSXGA+ on ebay. Oh yeah, got it for $150...

Replacing an LCD usually means replacing the companion inverter (usually attached under the LCD itself). Reason is, the inverter supplies a particular voltage and amperage to the screen, not to mention the compatible wiring. A good place for instructions on repairing your own LCD, with instructional pictures is: http://www.lcdparts.net/Enjoy. |

I was fortunate to find a complete ZT3000 1920x1200 lid & LCD on eBay for $200. A bit expensive, but it was the entire lid, not just the LCD. So it included the inverter and it was a simple replacement. It looks great, detail is amazing, but it sure has tiny fonts. Thanks goodness I have good computer glasses.
Funny how the lid change instantly converted my Compaq x1000 to an HP zt3000, at least based on the logo.
Cheers,

I upgraded today from a wxga to a wuxga..... you will need a new cable from the LCD to the video card and the wuxga LCD........ The xuxga cable has more connections to the LCD. Thats it! -Mike |
