Not really sure which forum I should stick this in, considering it's not specifically Ubuntu-related, so apologies if it's in the wrong place - mods please move it if need be.

Got one of these things for free with a bad screen. I've located one of each (XGA and SXGA) on ebay for a decent price and in decent shape. Before I decide which one to drop the hammer on, I'm wondering if anybody knows whether swapping XGA to SXGA is possible. I've heard it is, but I want to be damn sure first.

Anyone have experience with doing this on this particular model or a similar one (500m, 510m, Latitude D500, D510, D600, D610 etc all use the same LCDs in either XGA or SXGA)

Thanks guys.
