I actually like the HP Envy series, they're pretty nice!
They have a MacBook look to them, which honestly, appeals to me.
Simple, sleek, and beautiful.

We haven't seen many Envys in the shop, except one... Where the lady was just.. well, let's just say there was never an issue.... :whistle:

They don't seem to have the same issues the DV series has, so woo!

Hope it runs for years to come!



Not exactly.
There are different connectors in different models, usually, you can just get lucky and get one; but there ARE other specific ones per specific laptops.

That's why when a laptop comes into the shop, we either start looking through our screen stack for a viable option, or order a replacement right as we get it regardless of it's # in queue, so when we're ready to work on that laptop, the part is handy.

I've come across several with different connections from mobo ribbon cable, to LCD connections..

I know ribbon cables change from brand to brand, but I thought the conector on the LCD itself was universal.

They all look suspiciously the same, but they aren't.. They vary from size. # of pins, shapes, etc, etc..
