I replaced mine yesterday, and my broken screen model number was 51U for a 2004 4.4i. I ordered a new screen using the 51U as the model and received a screen that may span many model numbers. It didn't have an identifying sticker that corresponded to the one I input on my order, but it works great.

One tip that the PDF instructions should highlight is that when screwing the 4 back plate screws into the LCD screen, make sure the screen is aligned with the faceplate opening correctly before tightening completely. Otherwise you end up with the screen slightly off where the screen border in one corner is showing just slightly more than the opposing corner. It's not a big deal and doesn't affect the screen, but I'm a bit of a perfectionist and it bugs me already. I might take it out again and re-do it so that it's perfect.

Screen or inverter

I'm pretty happy with what I find from this forum, thanks.

Is there a solid way to find out is my problem inverter or screen? Backlight was flickering occasionally almost a year until it died for good. All information is shown in display, it can be seen in broad daylight. I don't like to buy new screen only to find out that problem is inverter. Car is E53 4.4 2002.

I guess inverter output is plug with black and orange cables next to text Danger High-voltage, right?
