ah ok i see… yeah looks like the monitor cable is unique. for these…

I'm thinking the screen is a normal back lit screen but with a unique monitor cable that includes 2 connections. one from the Back Light card… and the LCD data cable. interesting.

i bet it would be super easy for anyone to retrofit a LED back light strip into 5120 or 5126 screen.
