How to Find Your Laptop Screen Part Number

If your laptop screen is cracked, flickering or has stopped working, the quickest way to find the exact replacement is to locate the panel part number on the back of your existing screen. This guide explains exactly how to do it.

Why the Part Number Matters

Laptop screens are not universal. Even two laptops of the same brand and size may use completely different panels — different resolutions, connector types, refresh rates and physical dimensions. Searching by the panel part number guarantees you get the exact replacement that will fit and work correctly in your machine.

Step 1: Remove the Broken Screen

To access the part number sticker, you will need to remove the screen from your laptop. This typically involves:

1. Powering off the laptop completely and unplugging it
2. Carefully removing the plastic bezel using a plastic pry tool or guitar pick
3. Unscrewing the metal brackets holding the panel to the lid
4. Gently tilting the panel forward to expose the back

Step 2: Find the Sticker on the Back of the Panel

Once the screen is removed, look at the back of the panel. You will see one or more stickers. The part number looks like one of the following:

• BOE-Hydis: NV156FHM-N4B, NE156QHM-NY1, NE173QHM-NY6
• AU Optronics: B156HAN02.1, B140HAN06.8, B173HAN04.3
• CMO Chimei Innolux: N156HRA-EA1, N140HCG-GQ2
• LG Philips: LP156WFH-SPB1, LP173WFG-SPB3
• Sharp: LQ156M1JW03, LQ156M1JW26
• Samsung: ATNA40YK07-0, ATNA60YV01

The part number is typically labelled as P/N or Model No on the sticker.
