That's the main "gotcha" when it comes to playing "mix and match" with a K3. You can safely swap anything else (keyboard, battery, etc), but the screen has to match what the motherboard is expecting.

Fascinating. Did not know that. Is there some way to check that before doing a swap? Not that I intend to do that, just curious.
