No, you don't need to change the display cable.

brummyfan2 , can you suggest how to buy these panels, also will acer customer care be able to do it for me if I order the display?

brummyfan2 · November 2018

Hi,
You have to shop around online for these panels, you could also try retailers who sell these panels locally, on the other hand, you could try contacting Acer Support centre in India, they might give you the details of any partner retailers in your country, you can also inquire them about fitting the panel, I would suggest you to do it because it's very easy to do by yourself, watch as many videos as possible in youtube and take your time to fit it yourself.

Hello!

Out of all the model screens that you listed, what is the best IPS screen to use for Acer Aspire 5?

Currently using the A515-51G-50AC, don't really know what panel it is using but seems like then TN one but FHD.

Also I have this volume distortion/static sounds if I crank up my volume to 100%, any way to fix it? Tried various solutions like updating drivers and such oh and the Acer Harmony driver is already uninstalled when I got this laptop bought it second hand.
