Thinkpads Forum

Hi!
First time posting in these forums.

I'm considering buying an x61t with the sxga panel as I've found one for a pretty cheap price,
The question i have is that is it possible to fix the glue bleeding out?

I'm thinking could you push the air bubbles out by injecting some sort of "liquid" in between the screen and then sealing the edges from further leakage with strong adhesive tape?
Anyone done something similar, or are there other easy(ish) fixes?

Thanks.

Hello and welcome to the forum!

If you search the forum, a beneficial practice to familiarise yourself with, you'll find this has been contemplated and tried before, but without success. If you want to use that SXGA+ screen in the tablet and can't tolerate the bubbles your only recourse is to remove the entire protective glass layer and either not use the pen or else use it with care. Your chances of successfully removing that glass on your first attempt are not good.
If you do manage to remove the protective glass layer without destroying both it and the panel, you could try replacing it using double-sided tape along the edges.
Otherwise you can replace the panel with one from a X60t (HV121P01-100) or a suitable XGA AFFS screen.
