BEG FOR HELP- have I got the wrong lcd?

Hi,

so i thought id done my homework and to replace my 13.3 lcd from a early 2008 white macbook i bought the following part...

LG PHILIPS LP133WX1

now, when i opened the macbook up i realised that the end of the lvds cable that slots into the top of my origional screen is much narrower and thinner than the new lg part.

as such it wont fit and ive pulled everything apart to get it in!

what part did i need?

is it possible to replace the lvds or convert the screen i have?

i can post pic if it helps

There are three different manufacturers of these screens all with different connectors. See which one you have and contact your supplier to see which one you need.
