Problem with LCD Cable IBM A30

[a.burkhardt]

Hello everyone, I'm restoring an IBM A30 that belonged to my father, and I wanted to replace the old 15" XGA LCD screen (05K9964) with an SXGA (05K9965) Samsung screen.

My problem is that when the new screen arrived, I realized the screen's connector, and therefore the LCD cable, wasn't the same because the new connector has 30 pins, while the one I have has 20 pins. After doing some research, I found out that the cable I need is most likely the 27LO682. Unfortunately, I can't find it anywhere.

I'd like to know if anyone sells or knows where I can buy this cable.

Best regards,

Alfredo B.

The P/N is 27L0682 with a 0=zero, not capital O.

Hi, thanks for your reply. Unfortunetly there's not stock in this page.

Best regards

Sorry for the double post, but I wanted to know if this cable would be compatible. It seems to be the only one available and appears to have the pins my new LCD screen requires (P/N 27L0683).

Unfortunately NO, that 27L0683 cable is only for UXGA IPS screens.
(And the SXGA+ IPS 27L0714 cable will not work either with a Samsung screen.)
Unless you can find the 27L0682, I'm afraid you have to either stick with the 'old' XGA/20-pin cable, or look for a complete working 15" lid with SXGA+ or SXGA+ IPS (NOT the UXGA IPS).
