    ...but still nerve-racking - especially the tape holding the 40-pin connector down. I hope I haven't damaged the connector...[/IMG]
    If the tape is a bit too strong, heat it up with a hair dryer. Do not overheat it though, but it is fairly hard to overheat with a hair dryer and it will eventually melt plastic, but fairly easy to melt stuff with a hot air gun.

    Good - I'm the OP! Just need to order the replacement panel. Does the following look good enough?
    Exact code is LTN156AT17 7BCDOREJ05 D02 so this is what I want I think.

    If that's the right one for your laptop then it'll be fine.
