WTB: T60 SXGA aftermarket LCD screen EEPROM reprogramming
Posted: Fri Dec 11, 2009 10:37 am
I bought a SXGA screen off of EBay a long time ago. However, I guess the EEPROM in the LCD needs to be reprogrammed to include the Lenovo-specific information. I have seen other threads here about reprogramming the EEPROM, but I couldn't get Powerstrip to do it, and I don't think I can reliably build the reprogramming circuit to do it myself.
If I put in my old screen (with a non-working backlight), hibernate, swap in the new screen, and then wake up, the screen works perfectly fine, until I restart.
When I start up with the new screen, the screen colors become yellowish and it seems to think that it is a XGA (not SXGA) screen, so it only draws part of the image on part of the screen. Plus, there's lots of flicker.
Thank you,
Brian
