Hydis HV150UX2-100 screen in a T60 15" problems

[stryker86]

Hello,

I have a Hydis HV150UX2-100 screen with the modified cable and inverter but I have a problem when trying to put it in the case of a 15" T60.
The Hydis screen is thicker than the original T60 screen and for this reason the lateral mounting screw holes do not all allign, just 2/6 do, the problem beeing that because of the thickness the bezels with the mounting holes do not reach the case mounting holes, they just cant go down enough.
The holes that I can put screws in are not enough to keep the panel firm so I wont risk that.
I put the screen in a R60 screen case and the holes align perfectly because the screen case is larger.
Now I have another problem because I want to use this screen in my t601 frankenpad.
So my questions are:
1. How can I put the screen in a T60 screen case without risk of of an unstable screen or the screen touching the keyboard when I close it?
2. The second option is to try to put a T61 14" board in the R60 15" chasis and use it like this. I tried to put the T60 screen bezels and hinges in the R60 screen chasis but they are not compatible. Too bad.
If I go the R60 route or even the T60 route I still have a problem with the screen cable as it is longer that the stock cable and when I try to close the lid it makes a huch that I am afraid that in time will damage it. I will atach some photos.

That’s a sweet R60.

Can you free up any slack in the cable if you remove the bluetooth? Altho i reckon the inverter is also going to make things awkward.

I definitely don’t recommend using the cable like this much, they are quite fragile.

I have built more than 75 T601 Frankies, but never tried it in an R60.
I also have never found the HV150UX2-100 screen to be too 'thick' to fit in a T60.
T60 and R60 LCD-cables are different and don't 'like' to be in the other model.

To see how a T60 LCD is replaced, check this ifixit link.
(In Step 3 they show 2 screws in the top corners. These do NOT exist on a 15" display, so ignore them.)
