So there's no firmware related stuff that would prevent it from being upgraded?? Or motherboard stuff?? 

The system isn't in warranty cuz I bought off ebay 

So they don't do any edid locks or locks to motherboard?? Do they all use 30 pin connectors??

ok talked to someone at parts people and they said it should be just a panel replacement for 2 part numbers they gave me

Glad to hear the progress.  Remember to take final cost into consideration.
