T60 15.4 widescreen <-> T61p 15.4 mashup

#1 Post by excal32 » Wed Aug 12, 2015 3:44 pm

As some of you might know my beloved T61p was the victim of an awful water spill about this time last year.
The laptop was open and water got in thru the keyboard and side vents.
I just got a 15.4" T60 for $20 with a screen that works just fine but it is only 1280x800.
It should be trivial to replace the T60's 1280x800 panel with my T61p's 1920x1200 panel, wouldn't it?
1x R500 (P8600), R61e [T9300], X61 (T7300) - RIP T420 (replaced by HP Z420 workstation)

You're likely going to be cursing while removing the panel from the T61p lid, but other than that it's a straight swap.
