The host is the most important thing here, since I am finding it hard to get a full replacement for the screen. If someone has an answer for a fix, that would be awesome.

    But in seriousness, as a rule it’s not possible to unfuck a display matrix, only replace. The easiest temp solution is an external. The easiest long term solution, if the manufacturer is no longer selling the part, is saving alerts for parts-only listings of that laptop on sites like eBay.

      Yeah. I have an external. I was just hoping that this community might be able to find something I couldn’t. Best I have is that screenshot with the model number.

        You’ve already got excellent advice, but I’ll add this to maybe save you some money.

        Since you’re replacing it anyway, go ahead and yank it and get the part number off the back. As Septimaeus said, it’s likely used on several laptop models. Vendors always charge more when you’re searching for the laptop model. Search instead for the monitor model. Also, try eBay and other vendors. You might be surprised at the cost differences after a little shopping.
