Problem with LCD Cable IBM A30

#1 Post by a.burkhardt » Wed May 06, 2026 8:26 pm

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. :cry:

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.
Available e.g. here: https://www.orangehardwares.com/product ... oduct-info

But I actually prefer Murphy's from Cork!
