Are mainboard version numbers important for compatibility?

[tucocaps]

In repairs and buying/selling parts on ebay, I'm noticing that shopjimmy is very thorough about listing parts like main boards with the unique part numbers and version numbers.

However, on Ebay some sellers seem to omit this information , or will sometimes even incorrectly list a different version for a mainboard , than the board actually is.

Is it important to match version? What will generally happen if you don't match version to the set when replacing? Thanks.

Shopjimmy as good as they are in referencing compatible parts they are not perfect and do miss things.

Samsung is pretty forgiving with situations like this, I have swapped compatible mainboards from smaller sized panels to larger sized panels and they work and a few of those were not listed on Shopjimmy.

Another good place to reference part compatibility is ModusLink, they seem to get the stuff Shopjimmy missed.

One of the ones I'm trying to fix now is a Sharp Sharp LC-46D62U. There are about 3 versions of the mainboard. Prices vary on Ebay, and at least one seller seems to have his listed wrong. I have a version 0. Would I need to match that version?
