    What would I need to upgrade a CCFL LCD to the LED? This is what I know I need so far

    LED screen
    Thinner LED version lid (GX172)
    LED version bezel (RW485)
    LED video cable (GX081)

    Is that all? Thanks

    Webcam and cables and maybe the the 2 brackets that hold the screen in place onto the lid.

    Ok thanks, can I just ask you...what is the model of your LED? Under properties>hardware ids of the Monitor under device manager? Is it CMO?

    Ok so this is what I'd need:

    LED screen
    Thinner LED version lid (GX172)
    LED version bezel (RW485)
    LED video cable (GX081)
    LED Webcam 0.3MP + cable (KP618)
    LED brackets x2 (GX074)

    Anything else? Screws?

    I'd second this. Not only do I think it'd be more expensive to buy all the parts separately, but it'd also be much more of a hassle.
