Can I use a diffrent screen to repair it?

I have a Lp156whb 15.6 inch screen that i want to put into a HP ProBook 450 g3, and it seems like it would fit but i dont know the consequences of using a different screen to the one it came with. Btw it came with a Lt156at30 screen.

As long as the screws line up and the panel is a close match model wise, the G3 and G4 machines are usually easy to swap panels without concerning how closely matched the replacement is — it’s about the PINOUT matching primarily. I once put a Dell panel (Samsung LTN IPS) in a cracked 840 G3 (factory installed TN Innolux) since the original failed and I had a spare E7440 LCD assembly.
I had it because at the time, I stopped purchasing Haswell since the platform is tired (they do not support NVMe primarily) and now the minimum is 8th gen. I had a 7440 assembly I knew was iDP so I put it in the 840 G3 and it took the part no problems.

Now when you get to the G5-present machines, the panel options vary wildly, and cables do not interchange as easily. For example, I cannot use a 40-pin PRIV cable from a SureView model (uses an IVO panel) on a standard 30-pin IPS (common spec, easily interchanged). You also cannot use the SV 40-pin cable to do a 4K upgrade, as 31-40 is there for the sole purpose of controlling SV. Even then, 4K is not cheap so best to buy the assembly to save a few bucks when possible as you need the cable and panel in most cases, as it’s a somewhat uncommon option!
For these reasons, I usually recommend buying a used assembly for beginners unless you can get a deal on the compatible panel.
All of that said with the 3 panel/cable combos, I’m not completely worried about it, even for a beginner. It’s trickier to do the raw panel, but HP made a long-time dream of mine real with the G5, to this day: No more 768p TN garbage. Good riddance :-). It's still available on the Probook (sadly) but it’s a step.
As far as Chromebooks go... I don’t care. They're dumb terminals that connect to the cloud rather than a PXE server. I think they buried 768p due to economics on the Elite series — FHD isn’t that much to make the standard, and it makes everyone who hates 768p very, very happy.
Yes, I can understand charging for the IPS 4K upgrade as it isn’t cheap to add even at the OEM level somewhat. Non-IPS and 768p LCDs are eWaste at this point! Stop using them!

Hi,

Please verify the model number of the existing panel as I cannot find the data sheet for a LT156AT30? I can only find the datasheets for LTN156AT30 series panels.

Also what is the full model number of the LP156WHB panel, as there are 23 variations of this model?

If both your panels are listed in the above links, the datasheets will have the specs which should show if they’re compatible e.g. LVDS cable pinout the same etc.

It came up as an LTN part, so it is indeed a Samsung LTN display
