Identifying Versions of the Display
There are two versions of the display and although there are no specification differences,
in some cases the service part will be different.
The versions can be identified as follows:
• Version A has a blue-gray logo (front and back).
• Version B has a silver logo (front and back) and a hinge that allows the foot to collapse
to flat.
Note:
Both version A and B have flexible hinges, the difference is that the version B hinge
will collapse flat, parallel to the screen, to facilitate packing.
