will this screen assembly work as "plug and play" in my W520?

Small update. I got a palmrest that has the color calibrator. After some calibration using different profiles: D50/65/75 and gamma settings, I'm still not happy. I might be too picky or the screen is bad. I was thinking about changing the screen to a low gamut type with a lower resolution, 1600x900....

What you experiencing is the joy of a wide color Gamut and thus good colors. (95% of AdobeRGB) However, the color Gamut is actually so wide that some colors get out of control and pop out too much. That is why you need to calibrate the screen to a sensible standard, such as sRGB. Should I buy a the...

You may have got an unusually red tinted display panel. In this case, different color profiles probably won't have this kind of compensation (most displays are overly blue tinted) and you will have to manually calibrate the display yourself. Red tinted CCFL displays (not LED) is a symptom of a dyin...

Hello thinkpaders fans. I ask for your help in finding a solution to fix "the beast". The machine is W520 4284-FL1, with a FHD display - 1920 x 1080 - B156HW01 V4 . The overall performance is great, except for the LCD screen that looks oversaturated, the red color kills my eyes :( . For the last 2 y...

Now I'm using a Chicony, it's to stiff, I don't like it. I'm think of buying this keyboard , what to you think, is it an original NMB keyboard?

I was thinking of replacing the LCD with a WXGA panel with 1280x800 pixels resolution. The WSXGA+(1680x1050) it has right now is killing my eyes with small fonts and poor lighting. Has anybody done this? ...................................................................................................

I managed to put my hands an a w500, powerful machine, but bad screen. The LCD is a LTN154P3-L02, 1680 x 1050. Laptop came without hard drive, so I installed one and an operating system, Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit. Brightness is at max 15, all drivers installed with Lenovo System update utility. This...

I know what you mean, some things that come from China are cheap and unreliable merchandise. One thing is sure, these cheap cards are selling on ebay like hot bread, nobody had the problems that you are afraid, so far from what I've seen and experienced. If you look in my topic the built quality in ...

I've been using an "inside hide" CardBus adapter for quite some time. Quality is Ok, I mean my computer didn't burst in flames :) . I use it mostly with a USB 2.0 external hard drive, with my " hack " hard drive works without a problem, and I use it a lot, sometimes I download and watch things from ...

Flash ads/content makes the CPU to run at 100%. T23 has only 16MB of video memory, that is not enough to play Flash ads/content from websites.

Now you report faster numbers than your initial review! I see you changed your source of 5 Volt. Did you also change cards? I would like to get more information about your cards, and maybe we can demystify why we see different performance. We all have the NEC 720101GJ. But the second number is diff...

Good idea for a couple of my old laptops w only USB 1.0. This might keep them running for a couple more years. The USB adapter that sticks out is a hassle to use. I have to always remove the adapter, so I don't break it. The trick will be to find a 5v source on the motherboard w/o damaging the moth...
