I bought a CF-52 with a broken screen. The screen is a Sharp-made WUXGA display.
I bought an LG-made WXGA screen that claimed to fit a CF-52. I installed it without issues, and it lights up, but nothing displays.
I've reinstalled Windows 7 using the Panasonic recovery CD that came with the CF-52; nothing displays. **I'm using a VGA-supported monitor to see what's on the Toughbook, in case you're wondering how I reinstalled Win7.

I've read on other forums (that also discuss other Toughbook models), that I may need a new LCD cable, or the "correct" LCD cable. I've read that due to the BIOS, you cannot downgrade from a WUXGA to a WXGA. But I have yet to get a definitive answer as to what's going on with my CF-52. I'm hoping to get one on this site.

So, does anyone know what's wrong?

Not going to work,you need the correct screen. It will not display. PM me.

The screen type is locked in the BIOS. You will need the same type that came in it originally..

I already tried to do a swap on a CF52

If u know how, u can change this in the BIOS. Only need is some free software for ur BIOS.
