Is ThinkPad T42p display compatiable with T42 laptop?

#1 Post by ginahoy » Wed Oct 17, 2012 4:53 pm

I need to replace my T42 laptop display assembly (LCF, inverter, antennas, etc). The only complete display assembly I've been able to find that's in A condition is from a T42p.

Does anyone know for sure if that screen is compatible with the T42?

thanks

If they are the same size and your T42 has the ATI GPU...then yes.
Collection = T500 - R400 - X300 - X200 - T61 (14" WXGA+) - T61 (14.1" SXGA+) - T60 (15" SXGA+) - X40 - T43p - T43 - T42p - A30P - 600E

Yes, both are 14.1, and the T42 has ATI display GUI, so I'm sure this means the GPU is also ATI. THANKS!

Pardon the hijack, but what's the highest res. the 7500 in a T42 can display? Internally, I mean. Just dug up an old 15" 1600x1200 screen...
Thinkpad Edge E530 | Intel i7-3610 | Intel HD 4000 | 8GB DDR3-1600 | Intel 330 180GB+64GB Kingston mSATA | 6 cell | Windows 8.1 Pro/Ubuntu 15.04 |
Thinkpad X61s | L7500 | Intel X3100 | 8GB DDR2-800 | Intel 330 180GB + 160GB Samsung | Gobi 3000 | 8 Cell | Windows 7 | Windows XP 64 bit |

It will do 1600x1200.
