Dell Inspiron 9300 Screen Rplacement
I just replaced a screen to this model laptop and would like to add that you REALLY need to see how the old screen is attached before ordering the new screen. Although I was careful to match all the spec's from info in my +5 year laptop's original manual and purchase order, I still ran into a "little" problem when I opened up my laptop. It so happens that this model has an inverter board that's actually attached to a wrap-around metal band with what were 4 rivet-like attachments. Had I known the multi-rivet like attachments were involved, I may not have elected to try replacing the screen. Just separating the inverter from the the screen's band was really a slooooow pushing & pulling rivet popping process. I could have very easily cracked the CCA or caused ESD damage. Repeating: Check out the old attachment method BEFORE ordering. Luckily nothing went wrong and I now have a beautiful 17" laptop that's now missing all the vertical multi-colored lines that this model began to increasingly display a few years ago. Several internet searches revealed my 9300 wasn't the only one having this problem after the warranty expired.
