Hello,
i'm looking for a QXGA-Cable to upgrade an T43p with UXGA to QXGA. All the dealers i've contacted so far tell me that Lenovo won't sell it anymore in germany.
Can anyone of you sell me one or tell me if it's availible in other countries?

Thanks Harry,
but this cable is just UXGA, not QXGA. The inverters of UXGA and QXGA are similar, the video-cables not.

What is the FRU# ? The T43P never came with QXGA, or if it did it was special order. The cable is not listed in the T43P parts manual.

I've heard that the QXGA panel is too thick for a T43/P LCD bezel. Do you know differently?

Thanks for remembering that!
I haven't used this modded T43p much lately, so I am thinking about selling it.
Klaus, if you are interested in buying it off me, please send me a PM. But it sounds like you already bought the QXGA panel and only need the cable.
