So my little brother is going off to college and I was going to surprise him by fixing my old laptop and giving it to him! I have an Inspiron 1545 the model number is a PP41L which as I understand consists of a CCFL screen. The thing about the laptop is the screen is broken and is completely dark when I boot up the computer. I can barely make out the screen so I figure the back light has failed and I need a new screen. I am looking to switch from CCFL to LED which after some research appears to be a fairly simple task, you just need to replace the screen and cord and remove the inverter. I am just writing this to make sure that the parts I am going to be using are compatible and will actually fix the problem!
Here is the screen:

And here is the cable converter:

So I guess to sum it up, can this be done and are the parts I have compatible and will fix the problem? If not can you please point me in the right direction? Thank you anyone who reads this and is willing to help! I know my little brother will appreciate it!
Sincerely,
Connor
