Great info, thanks :)

Re: Checkerboard cover for T410 screen lid, lenovo's idea?

Unfortunately this purchase is with delivery option only, so I can't see it with my own eyes.

There is a ThinkPad logo on the body, but clearly no on the lid.

Strange...

Here's another photos:

Checkerboard cover for T410 screen lid, lenovo's idea?

I found a cheap T410 unit, but it has this weird checkerboard cover on his screen lid.

Is it a lenovo's idea? Or someone just wants to make his laptop pretty and maybe cover used lid screen?

Hi, The same as a topic :) From my market I could buy R61 WSXGA+ with NVidia or T61 WSXGA+ with Intel. I wouldn't like anything besides IBM/Lenovo and my budget is very tight, so this is my only option.

Upgrading from T60 14,1"SXGA+ to a better screen and machine

Hi, I'm searching for a better machine. Currently I'm using T60 T2500 with SXGA+ 14,1" panel. Most important is the space/resolution, the more the better. And, of course, better quality of the picture. From what I've read my screen supposedly is the worst of all (nice to know after buying :) ) And n...

Hi,

My 14,1" SXGA+ 1400x1050 LCD Panel in t60 has stopped working. The only solution for me at this time is to buy screen from T61 (also SXGA+).

Will it work? And with the same cables and inverter?

It could be annoying also because pressed key after the beep isn't registered as used.

Have the same issue. Very weird and annoying.

In my case resetting system, changing resolution, close the lid (random things) helps, but it's not really a solution. It's like GPU or chip in matrix have some bug.
