I'd like to know, is this http://img262.imageshack.us/img262/3433/dsc09603qy9.jpg is compatible with my ibm t40. This is 30-pin lcd and i know that i have to buy assembly cable also. Please, response quickly, aution will end in 20hours.

Welcome to the forum.

See the compatibility statement at this page on Amazon

What is the machine type/model of your T40? 14" SXGA+ screen?

I have no idea what that auction is about other than the pictures look nice

. Make sure that you get a new SXGA+ cable if you go the bare LCD replacement route. The inverter is listed as the same for all models

Unless it is showing an IBM FRU for a T4x, the answer is no. T4x has different pin connections and will not work, possibly damaging your motherboard.

it means: "don't buy it"??

Yes, do not buy it. If you find another LTN141P4-L02 LCD with that label on it, and also an IBM FRU number on it, then it is OK to buy it. In other words, buy a genuine IBM part.

That panel is commonly used in Dell D600. As I said before, if it isn't marked for IBM, it won't work. I have one I'm pulling out of a T41p with a bad motherboard. It just came in this morning. I was told the screen was good, but I need to test it. PM me if you want to discuss,
