About a month ago I asked for help on how to replace the smashed LCD and cover on my T42 that was damaged in the earthquake. I received some wonderful, detailed responses on what to do. I ended up replacing the LCD, the hinges and the cover and saved about $500! And, most amazingly, everything worke...

Mahalo nui for all the tips. Will be receiving the parts next week - you may see more posts when I start putting it back together.

Thanks for all the tips. I am quite handy with tools, etc. and often find myself taking things apart to figure out how they work. EOMtp: Your tips were not mentioned anywhere in the HMM - thanks! I think most of the smaller parts should be reusable as, amazingly, everything still works. A tribute to...

The whole lid assembly was smashed on my computer. Have decided to try replacing it myself - they want $750+ to fix it! I've order the cover kit and found a new lcd on ebay. Do I also need the clear plate listed in the HMM? Does this go over the LCD? The hinges are good on my old one and the wireles...

Been doing some research: I need a cover kit # 13R2569 for a 14.1" SXGA LCD that includes the bezel.

IF this is what you have would be interested in buying.

Thanks!

Do you mean you have the cover, lcd frame etc but not the lcd? What kind of shape is it in?

To work properly is all it needs is a new lcd? How about the lights, wireless antenna etc? Is it from a T42?

Thanks so much...

My T42 2342 M3U was smashed in an earthquake - the lid is dented and crooked and the lcd shattered, but the computer works fine! Anyone have a complete lid assembly with 14.1" SXGA lcd for sale? Would like complete lid with wireless antenna, etc. so I can just drop it onto the base. Will be shipped ...

I've decided to wait till next year to get a spanking new latest and greatest laptop. Meanwhile, my laptop still works! even with a 4ft vase falling 10 ft onto it, the computer works fine, just need a complete new top - display and lid and the lid is all dented and cracked. Can I replace the lid mys...

I didn't get the rider for notebook and we can't get earthquake insurance since we have an active volcano! So, I've been told no coverage! I have a few questions about replacements: 1. Is there a lot of difference in screen size (14.1) between the Z61 and T60? 2. Do they perform about the same? 3. S...

Might be the answer - I'm a multi tasker: photos (I'm a canon user - what's with the SD card instead of CF?), biological statistics, web surfing, as well as giving power points. Looks like the proper ports for all of the above - I need USB, video out to projector, hook up to ethernet as well as wire...

Thanks for the suggestion. I need this for travel, so need display. I'll look into it. If nothing else, I'll look at repairing this for my daughter and getting a new one.... I was just looking at the new z line with a widescreen. This may be an opportunity to upgrade. What's the difference between t...

Aloha, In the earthquake yesterday a very large vase from a shelf above the counter landed on my open laptop. It appears to have landed primarily on the top while open as the lcd screen is smashed at the lower left corner of the open screen and the frame is dented and and cracked on both the inside ...
