Evening all,
I know this is a common thread, but has anyone found any good replacements for the Compaq Portable 486 screen? I found the color screen on aliexpress, but I don't know if the screen will work with my monochrome model. Does anyone know if the connections are the same between the monochrome and color screens? If not, has anyone found a monochrome screen replacement, or even a more reliable way of replacing the screen?

Thanks
 
In the early days of LCD's there were many different connectors and pin outs for LCD's. Each one had its own video cable and sometimes DIP switch settings on the motherboards. I don't have knowledge of your Compaq and so can't address exactly what you need to change from B&W to color, but I doubt that it is an easy pull one and plug the other.
