As long as the pinout and connector type on the replacement panel matches the old one (a lot of Haswell-present laptops use iDP instead of LVDS now), it’s doable. However, the Y series is harder then most laptops.

As long as the pinout and connector type on the replacement panel matches the old one (a lot of Haswell-present laptops use iDP instead of LVDS now), it’s doable. However, the Y series is harder then most laptops because Lenovo decided to fuse the screen to the glass with UV LOCA glue.

On the Y700, the screen is fused to the glass assembly across the board so you have the one where there’s a chance it can be done. However, the touch version of the Y50 uses the fused screen design, which limits your options and may even prevent the IPS upgrade from being viable.

On the Y700, the screen is fused to the glass assembly across the board, but the Y50 *may* be salvageable. However, the problem is if you have a touch screen assembly, it shares the same fused design as the Y700. You’re good if it’s non-touch, but if it’s touch that may be a problem. It does sound like it’s non-touch since you mention it isn’t IPS, so that’s going to work in your favor.

On the Y70, the screen is fused to the glass assembly, so if you want to replace the screen you have to replace the screen and glass. The Y50 may be easier to work with, but if you have the fused assembly things will be significantly more difficult. If you have the Y50-70 Touch version, you have the part where the screen is fused to the glass.
