A couple of year ago I purchased my mother an Acer Nitro 5 laptop. She let me know that her screen got all messed up. Thankfully, I connected her laptop to another monitor and it seems to only be a display issue. My question is: Will any Acer NITRO 5 AN515-42 SERIES 30 pin connector display work or do I have to get the model type down to a tee? Example, I found this on amazon, https://www.amazon.ca/SCREENARAMA-R...15-42-r5yd+screen,electronics,52&sr=1-16&th=1

But It is the Acer NITRO 5 AN515-42 'R5ED'
but comes with handy tools,
whereas her laptop is the Acer NITRO 5 AN515-42 'R6YD'

Do the last 4 bolded characters matter, or is it a compatible replacement as long as it is Acer NITRO 5 AN515-42 SERIES?

Thank you !!!

Not essentially down to the T but the one that's meant for your laptop in question. So long as the connector and specs of the panel inclusive of their resolutions match, you're all good!

To confirm, they are what I'd see as identical,

Em, isn't the screen priced higher on Amazon...?
