WTB: W500 display parts

#1 Post by fredmertz » Tue Dec 11, 2018 10:12 pm

Ugh, thought i just broke a hinge on my W500, but in getting things partially apart looks like the display frame. Anyone have the whole bezel+back+frame (because of course, everything cracked a little bit) in decent shape they'd like to part with? Checking the Bay, looks like my cheapest solution is 50 for a whole parts unit, i'll do it if I haveta.

Thanks!

Why don't you get the same for T500? Should be way cheaper.
Drop me the FRUs you need. I should still have some, and if I do I can share for just a couple of bucks. Shipping cost to US may be a deal-killer tho.
Too many thinkpads not enough time!

thanks very much for the offer! i did manage to grab a parts unit off of ebay and some fresh hinges this weekend, now it's time to work out how to disassemble it and perform a screen-ectomy. i will have to start looking for a replacement t500 I think ... this thing is my daily driver still and i now realize how much i'm going to miss that 16:10 screen when it finally dies. thanks again!
