Check the datasheets for the two different panels and make sure the pinout is the same. The panel type/number can be found both stamped on the front of the aluminum assembly or on the back on the label.

Do you have the Ultralight screen? If so, I hear it might not physically fit, as they are thinner than the standard.

I'd suggest putting in an AFFS screen while you're swapping out - I paid $90 for mine shipped for an X41 Tablet screen. A few snips here and there, and a trim & flip of the ribbon cable was all it took.
