I tried replacing the power plug and even changing a new AC power jack, it seem the battery is still not able to charge. Something might be wrong with the battery contact but they looked intact to me. Anything else that might be causing this problem? Thank you for the help!

Now, I have replaced the cable with a good cable, and everything is in working order now. However, the problem I have is that the laptop won't charge even when it is off. I tried with 2 different batteries(genuine IBM batteries) and chargers(genuine IBM 65W and 90W chargers). Neither will charge the...

Thank you all for the suggestion! It looked the same as my friend and I don't see any physical damage to the cable. It seemed that the LCD connection is the one that is broken because it changes the display when I move that part. I am ordering the part 44C5392 because it is much cheaper and looked i...

Update. I was able to borrow my friend's x200 to test the LCD cable. The same problem exist with BOTH panels. It seemed to go away if I move the cable in certain direction. It seems to me getting a new cable is the best option for me right now. Thank you guys for the input. I will update once I rece...

Thank you so much for the reply! I just realize the cable is very costly, with over 40 USD for each. I am would like to make sure if trying any thing new at this point. If this is the board's problem, I am pretty much out of luck to fix it right since I know the CPU is solder into the mother board. ...

Just to update. I have tried to replace the LCD with the AFFS screen. However, it is still showing the weird color with some dot in the middle of the screen. I am guessing the next step for me to replace would be the cable or inverter? Any suggestion? Thank you in advance!

Thank you for the quick reply. If I were to replace the panel, will the BOEHYDIS HV121WX4-110 fit this CCFL-blacklit x200s laptop? Do I need to purchase a new cable and a new inverter as well? Thanks!

First all, nice to meet you all. This is one of the first time post here. I have found many valuable information. However, I have a strange screen problem with my x200s. The problem is there the screen would randomly give bad colors as shown: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/nlzhgfylmo579zl/i5NZEDfPnX/%24...

Thank you guys so much for the advice. What my intial worries were that those panels were the "knock-off" models mentioned by OP. I will definitely think about getting a new one over the used one. Thank you!

I also have a the same question about the affs mod. I saw this listing on ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/FREE-S-H-VIEWIZ-HV121WX4-110-12-1-WXGA-ACTIVE-MATRIX-LCD-/400036107597?pt=US_Laptop_Screens_LCD_Panels&hash=item5d2402954d I realize the brand is different(viewiz). The seller said that this is th...

Hi guys! I am new here, thanks for your help. I recently bought a think pad t61 in may. Until now, everything has been working perfectly except sometime when the laptop is not plugged. I heard some "zzZZ "sound coming out from the fan. I am not sure if that is a normal sound when the system is tryin...
