Hi Bruce, it's hard to find two identical LCDs. We'd need more information about the one you just bought to be able to give out more details. Antoine...
Antoine, I bought the LCD from Telesis. I went through the directions that were provided by CD from Telesis. The directions were general in nature (they sell...
