M14x screen replacement

Question

Hi, I recently purchased an M14x R2 (from a friend) and it comes with a 1368 x 768 resolution display. I would like to upgrade the screen to 1600 x 900 and found a few places where it costs around £45, however I would like to know if upgrading the screen myself voids warranty (the unit has over 8 months left). I would go to Dell but the prices are just too high I have been told. Thanks.

Hi disigma,

Upgrading the LCD will not void the hardware warranty of the system. It will only void the warranty for the part that is being replaced. Do not discard the original LCD till the warranty is out.

In case you need to contact Dell Spares and Parts for the LCD quote: 1-800-357-3355 (US customers only)

Please reply if you have any further questions.

Make sure the screen has a DPN (Dell Part Number) if its a Generic there is a VERY good chance the screen won't work :( I found this out on a Latitude and an Inspiron :(
