X61 lcd cable type?

I need a 91P4535 (I assume 93P4535 also works) for an X61 with SPWG (not lightweight) panel with Bluetooth. This agrees with the HMM. I can't find one on Ebay other than from Australia or UK. I am checking with the seller if another one which they labeled as a tablet is actually a 93P4535.

After searching the list it seems like you cannot substitute the SPWG panel cable for the TMD but how about the other way? Bottom line I am wondering if the 93P4536 which is specified for the TMD screen might work for my unit. The one Ebay seller showing a 93P4536 shows it for X61 and X61s. I will also post on Marketplace to see if a forum member has one.

Any help is really appreciated.

Thanks,

Bruce

If you look at the removal instructions for the LCD cable (pp. 123-124 on the X60/X61 HMM), you'll notice that the connector for the TMD panel is at a different location (lower right quadrant) compared to the SPWG LCD (upper right quadrant).

This is a clear indication that the two cables are incompatible with each other.

Thanks, should have caught that...

This makes it more obvious when looking at Ebay photos of which one is the correct cable for the SPWG panel.

I also see the 91P6971 but that one has the Thinklight in a different location for the X60.

Thanks again!
