G555 lid on a G550?
Will the lid and screen from a G555 fit on a G550? (Or any other similar model?
I've got a dead G555, with a bad video chip, and would like to use the screen to fix
a G550 (or whatever I can get cheaply) with a broken screen.
Possible?
Waste of time?

Re: G555 lid on a G550?
AFAIK the only difference in those series is:
Models ending with 0 have Intel CPU
Models ending with 5 have AMD CPU
One could assume that the chassis/lid are identical.
Why not give it a try if you have both?

Re: G555 lid on a G550?
I was putting off getting a G550, until I heard back.
I'll wait for one to come up on Fleabay, and let you
all know what happens. I'm pretty sure this one has a dead
video chip, because the LEDs like they should, but no video.
(On-board or external.)
If this thing would fit my T60 true docking stations, I could
just get a video card in the dock, and be done.
THANKS, RBS!

Re: G555 lid on a G550?
G550 and G560 are different models.
They may have parts in common, but I wouldn't count on it.
Screens themselves might fit between them, but unless you have pictures, I again wouldn't try.

But, would a G555 lid fit better on the 550 or the 560?RealBlackStuff wrote:G550 and G560 are different models.

(Or, is the G555 the AMD version of the 550, or the 560?)

G550/G555 are the same series.
as are G560/G565 or G540/G545 etc.
