Replacing T42 Screen to a SXGA+ 14.1 PN:46L2495

[all0gic]

Hey there people.

I am going to upgrade my T42, replace motherboard, cpu, screen & memory.

I found this on eBay for $59 but am not totally sure if it will be compatible with my current setup (T42 2373-2FG).

Does anyone have any prior knowledge or experience of doing a similar screen upgrade?

I also plan to upgrade the system board to a T43 board similar to this this.

Thanks in advance!

Compatible with the following IBM T20 T21 T22 T23 Models: ThinkPad T20 2647 (14.1" SXGA), ThinkPad T20 2648 (14.1" SXGA), ThinkPad T21 2647 (14.1" SXGA), ThinkPad T21 2648 (14.1" SXGA), ThinkPad T22 2647 (14.1" SXGA), ThinkPad T22 2648 (14.1" SXGA), ThinkPad T23 2647 (14.1" SXGA), ThinkPad T23 2648 (14.1" SXGA)

NOT compatible with your T42, you need:

LCD panel SXGA+, for T40/p, T41/p, T42/p series
FRU 11P8346 (ID TECH) or FRU 11P8348 (Samsung)

LCD cable assembly SXGA+
FRU 91P6787

And recommended to change your inverter too:

Inverter card FRU 26P8464

I´ve done this a couple of times and its easy.


Enjoy.
