Replacement LCD for Precision 3571
Hello Guys,
i broke my LCD on my Precision 3571. I ordered a new LCD Display from Dell (PN WGY6T).
I wanted to replace it but the 30 Pin eDP Connection didn't fit. Now i checked the old one (it's also 30 Pin) and its less wider than the new one? Are there diffrences in 30 Pin LVDS Connecter?
Where can I get the right Cable for the new LCD? And why does the Dell Site tell me that this is the right one for my Precision 3571<Private data removed from public view. DELL-Admin>

LVDS and eDP are mutually exclusive -- what type of connector did the old panel have? It appears this model system shipped with both types of display.
Your original display is 0F7Y7 -- 30 pin eDP connector. So should the replacement be.
The only other connector for the LCD in this model is a 40 pin, used on the 4K screen.

@ejn63 thanks for your reply!
I added 2 Pictures of the 2 diffrent connectors of the LCDs. The small one is at the old (broken) LCD. The wide one is on the new LCD which DELL suggested me to buy.
Now the question is, is there a new Cable for this problem? Can I buy it from Dell or should i look for it at a reseller?

If you look at the link below, there are two different connectors -- as you note, one wider than the other.

You likely would be best off calling Dell to order the LCD with the correct (narrow) eDP connector and return the one they sent. Otherwise, they should be able to provide you the correct part number for the cable with the narrower connector on it.
