Hello, I'm checking if it's feasible to link the 30-pin LCD connector from your monitor to the 40-pin port on the Dell Inspiron 15 5558. Since your laptop screen is damaged and you don't need a touchscreen, an LCD would be sufficient. I'm curious whether this setup would function or if you'd have to spend more for a replacement touchscreen instead.

There might be an alternative version without a touchscreen, allowing you to locate and replace the display component.

I’d prefer not to introduce random elements that could harm your laptop’s performance—ask me how I’m sure about this. It’s better to focus on the full setup instead.

There is an option available. The non-touchscreen version uses a 30-pin connector, which differs from the 40-pin one. I wanted to know if it would function properly with just the extra pins removed or if it requires a completely new setup.

You won't require the 40-pin display.
