Waiting for your success story liposuction.....
Confirm me that you would upgrade the LCD on 4530s core i3 f20?
The hardware should all be in by late morning (11AM US EDT).
Here is the model I ordered:

First, I will update the BIOS to F.20
I plan on using the 4730s HD+ cable (646274-001) from here:

Here is the screen I ordered (matte) per BigDonkey's post:

After that I plan to upgrade the processor to an i5-2410m.
If the model I ordered comes with the wrong wireless card, I already have an Atheros (HP p/n 593127-001 malbec) here just in case.
I just hope the screen replacement is a little easier on the 4530s than the 4430s. I probably destroyed 3 sets of hinge covers on that thing.
I'll edit this post with my results.
EDIT 1 - Everything is here. Waiting for all the HP crap to start up so I can update the BIOS.
EDIT 2 - BIOS is updated. Starting tear-down. Although I may have to slip out and get some food before I finish.
EDIT 3 - Back from lunch. Removing the keyboard and top cover. Cover is off. Screen time.
EDIT 4 - 646274-001 is in. Boy this would go a lot faster if I didn't have to pause and actually do my job when people call.
EDIT 5 - The new screen is in and I'm booting into Windows. Looks awesome. OF COURSE there's a dead pixel. With my luck lately, why wouldn't there be. *sigh* Oy ve.
