T43P problem with screen / resolution

[hexagon_sun]

hi
I've got problem with resizing desktop. I've installed latest ATI FireGL V3200 drivers, next monitor file and when I'm setting up 1600x1200 I see only half a screen, and I can scroll up down with mouse to see all desktop. But I want desktop fill up all screen, without scrolling.

my machine is

t43p 2669-cto
15"
xp professional

Does this T43p have all original parts, or have you replaced the LCD panel, motherboard, or any other parts? You really should never have a display resolution problem with the internal display. Especially if you get the drivers from Lenovo.

Don't know about history of this ibm, I bought it on super sale from my company.

After benchmark through one app, I got 2669wzj motherboard t43p with intel aviso i915pm chipset,

OK, that's nothing wrong with screen size, because visual condition of this lap is superb, working also.

One question, Can I switch lcd from t42p 15" uxga? I can buy it in vg condition in good price.

And change it to original ibm lcd spare from for example damaged laptop or lcd founded from auction (fe. N150U3-L01 - don't know if it was in original new laptops?) ? How about quality?

According to specs, you laptop has an SXGA+ screen (1400x1050), and not UXGA.

T43p (2669-WZJ)
Based on 2669-CTO: P M 770(2.13GHz), 2GB RAM, 60GB 7200rpm HD, 15in 1400x1050 LCD, 128MB ATI FireGL V3200, CDRW/DVDR, Intel 802.11abg wireless(MPCI), Bluetooth/Modem(CDC), 1Gb Ethernet(LOM), UltraNav, Secure Chip, 9c Li-Ion batt, WinXP Pro

If you put in UXGA, it also needs an UXGA LCD-cable, so it's easiest to just transfer the whole T42 lid.

ok, thanks for the info, how about changing for lcd form earliest series, like a20p (also 15" and screen 1400x1050) or a30p (1600x1200)

[RealBlackStuff]

They will also work, but you still need the matching T4x SXGA+ or UXGA cable and inverter!
