Regards,
I need to replace the Screen housing and hinges for my dm4-2180us but only find 1 model dm4-2015dx. i apreciatte if someone can tell me if these models are compatible.. Sorry for my english. I am from Venezuela.
Thanks
Most likely it will work, considering they are both of dm4-2000 series, however, I cannot say for sure. I would recommend looking at the pictures in the listing of the item, and comparing them with what you have.
