LCD panel FRU for T30 2366-JCU

[ergibi]

Hi there, I try to find the FRU for the LCD panel of a T30 model 2366-JCU. IBM/Lenovo's webpage on this subject doesn't list this particular model. Any clue where to find the FRU? Thanks!

Welcome to the Forum.
Any of the mentioned SXGA+ LCDs will do. The 200nit are a bit brighter than the 150nit.
Depending on which inverter you have now, you may need to buy the matching (150nit or 200nit) inverter for the new LCD.
More info on page 152 of the Hardware Maintenance Manual

Thanks RealBlackStuff! The problem is how to know which of a 150 or 200nit and LG or Samsung panel my T30 model 2366-JCU has since I don't want to invest in an inverter if I already have the right one.

Enter your model and serial number in the warranty look up page on lenovo.com. After the warranty info shows up, click the "View parts look up results for this system" hyperlink. The LCD FRU for your system is listed there.

The webpage gives the FRU as '0000000' since the LCD is no more serviceable. Any other hint where to get hold of the FRU? Thanks a lot again!

Open the LCD bezel and look for the inverter FRU FRU number. The sides have interlocking tabs so after removing the front screws, lift the bottom from double sided tape, then pull downward to release.

OK, I opened the laptop and I read that the FRU for (my) T30 2366-JCU LCD panel is FRU 11P8296 (Samsung 150nit), IBM P/N 11P8291. The inverter is FRU 91P7147 according to the label on the physical part and 46L2370 according to the IBM/Lenovo website. Thanks to all and have a nice day!
