Your current FullHD cable is 40 pin (motherboard side) => 30 pin (display side)
You need a 40=>40 one, part number is 50.Q04N5.015 - you can get that from amazon, ebay or... I've just ordered mine in the nearest laptops repairing workshop.
Regarding panels - BEWARE OF THE FAKE AUO panels! Ask seller if its a genuine AUO. Mine has awfull colors, I'm looking where to get the original one. I've borrowed one from my friend's alienware - it looks perfect.

Regarding flashing - you don't need that, my panel had a defective EDID.

Regarding flashing - you don't need that, my panel had a defective EDID. Its just a bolt-in upgrade.
Also there is a compatible model from Sharp - SHP1446. Alienware owners say AUO is better.
