Hi all,

As part of my T60 build project, I'd like to get a new (preferably SXGA+) panel. Now I've got no problem doing a bit of soldering and/or EDID flashing, so I'm happy to try any panel that looks promising.

There is one catch, however: electrical compatibility. I don't mind buying an extra screen or two (since I can always sell them via eBay if I can't use them.), but I don't want to risk frying my T60's planar. Therefore, I'd like to check the pinout of various screens before I plug 'em in.

That presents me with a problem though, since I can't seem to locate datasheets for any of the panels that were used in the 14.1-inch T60 series for comparison. Does anyone have any such datasheets (or know where I can find them?)

Thanks!

If you asking for schematics or datasheet/diagrams from Lenovo, they do not exist (TTBOMK), and if they did we would not allow discussion of them here. If you are looking for those same items from another manufacturer, then carry on.

I'm not looking for anything from Lenovo. Instead, I'm hoping to find datasheets from the panel makers themselves.

Thanks for the links.

I already knew about (and checked) the first two. No dice.

I'll take a look at the third, but a quick check didn't turn up any sheets for the panels that were used in T60 configurations...
