Possible Broken Hinge T61

#1 Post by Dekks » Thu Nov 10, 2016 9:46 am

Picked up a WSXGA+ screened scrap t61 unexpectedly and was going to do a straight screen assy swap onto my T8100 widescreen R61 but as i tested the screen something is pushing the screen frt bezel away from lid about 1.5in above the bottom corner as i move it.

Am i correct to assume i now need to replace a broken hinge assy/arm?

AFAIK the T61 and R61 WS lids are not interchangeable, that only applied to the 14.1" 4:3 screens.
They also have different KB-bezels, check if the "hitch" is around where lid/KB-bezel meet.

OK cheers RBS, its a moot point then guess i'll be pulling the screen out and seeing what is causing the issue and swapping them when i get back home over weekend.
