interchange parts between T30 and T41?

#1 Post by guest2183 » Sat Nov 20, 2004 11:35 pm

My T30 came with a Bluetooth/modem combo and a 1400x1024 screen.
Can I change them over with my T41 that only has a modem and a 1024x768 screen?

Your experience and suggestions are welcomed.

For example,

the two LCDs are of equal size, why can't it be interchanged?

even the modem card slot on my T40 looks the same as the bluetooth/modem card on my T30.

just wondering.....

display is same size but likely from a different maker..
or at least a different design..

some minipci cards MIGHT be useable..

but you'll need the antenna parts..

go ahead and give it a try if you are adventurous.. :D

here is my update!

The Bluetooth card off my T30 works on my new T41, removing the antenna is another issue..... so many screws for a small antenna that goes to the fan exhaust of the CPU. The second light beside the wireless antenna logo will light up to indicate bluetooth power is on

The T30 screen cannot be interchanged with the T41. The LCD connector is wider and flatter (1 row of pins) on the T41 than on the T30 (2 rows of pins). Both have the same amount of pins though.

FYI....
