Hello,

I need to find the correct part number for Aspire 5742 screen replacement.  The backlight is no longer working, and I have already bought an inverter only to find that this model/version does not use an inverter (since the backlight is LED and built into the screen component).  I find the array of model numbers somewhat confusing.  The full model version seems to be:

5742-464G50Mnnk

S/N: [edited to comply with guidelines]

SNID [edited to comply with guidelines]

This seems to be a very good laptop that belongs to an aquaintance of mine, but is not worth repairing at the local service dealer, and I am sure that I can replace the screen myself if I can get the right part, having already dismantled the screen assembly and being an electronic engineer.

Incidentally, I assume that this model version is the 5742, not the 5742G (even thought the model number has a "G" in it: part of the confusion).  Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks Tommy.  Am I correct in thinking that all of these are LED backlight screens?

That is correct.  All of the listings I see for the LCD on that model show LED.

Thank you, Tommy, that's very helpful.
