@ Bruce,
The display cable just plugs in into the display.

cannot get new screen to work. Not sure how the connection at step 11 is supposed to go together.

Many many thanks!!! Turned out the problem with my laptop was just that the video connector had become unplugged. With these instructions and a set of jewelers screwdrivers it took me about 1/2 an hour to fix!!

All LCD screens of the same dimensions, e.g., 15.6″, same resolution, e.g., 1366×768 (max), and same backlight type, e.g., LED lighting, are exactly the same physical dimensions and use the same connector, mounting holes, etc. This makes the a “form, fit and function” match for each other. The only major difference is that some screen surfaces are made glossy and some are matte (reflection reducing). One minor difference I found is that some panels have coarser adjustment increments for the screen brightness.

Both (used; see eBay) matte and glossy screens seem to sell for about the same price. While colors may seem to “pop” out from glossy screens, the nuisance of ambient light reflections can soon wear out your patience and give you a headache. I always opt for a matte screen which greatly reduces eye fatigue.

In reply to Chris. @ Chris, I don't know this brand and have no ides where you found it. I googled for "e530 LENOVO screen" and it didn't bring me any results.

I bought a e530 “replacement” screen on Amazon – it is not an LG screen as in the original and part numbers do not match, but it is an exact fit. Display appears to be made by LEOO. Have you had any experience with this display? Is there a site where I can check compatibility?

In reply to Laura-Lee. @ Laura-Lee, You'll need regular phillips screwdrivers. I use Wiha 7 Pc Precision Screwdriver Set.

What types of screwdrivers are needed? I’ve seen “laptop repair kits” online for between $15 and $40 dollars but they all seem to be for a specific brand – none of which are Lenovo. I’d prefer to use regular screw drivers if that is possible.

In reply to Harut. Harut, Most likely yes. Try searching on Amazon or eBay for "Lenovo E530 glossy screen". I think you'll find it easy.
