1. Wouldn't removing the resistor break the pathway of electric impulse? Shouldn't it be replaced with some kind of non-resistant connector? Yes, it breaks the connetion. That's the entire point. So no, don't replace it with anything else. In fact, the resistor is a non-resistant connector, since i...

darn. I wrote the EDID of a BOE Hydis UXGA screen (form here ) into the EEPROM and soldered it back on, but it still doesn't work. Exactly the same as before. The screen still works in the Inspiron. Any ideas what else could be wrong? I'm at a complete loss what's going on here. I tried writing the ...

Well, I don't have a T60. But I just desoldered the chip, and now I have to find out three things: 1. If my makeshift heat isolation constisting of tinfoil around the PCB and a stack of paper between that and the panel was good enough (had to use a heat gun) 2. If my desktop's parallel port is good ...

I can read the original panel's EDID with i2cdump on Linux. "i2cdetect 2" shows an EEPROM at address 0x50, and "i2cdump 2 0x50" dumps the contents. It contains the string LTN141P4, so I'm pretty sure it's working correctly. I have an NVIDIA card. If I couldn't access it at all, I'd have desoldered i...

Hi all, I'm trying to treat my T61 to a nice UXGA panel. Originally, I wanted to buy a Sharp LQ141U1LH02 since this is known to work without any problems. I actually thought that's what I would get when I bought a Dell Inspiron 4100 with a UXGA screen, since I saw somewhere that Dell used these pane...
