hallo
i broke the screen of my X60s and i found for few dollars an X41 lcd screen ; the seller told me that i can swap the lcd just because it is the same of the X60s i have only to connect the ribbon cable on it! IT IS TRUE???
i can really use an X41 lcd screen for my X60s?
thankyou to everybody

Check the datasheets for the two different panels and make sure the pinout is the same. The panel type/number can be found both stamped on the front of the aluminum assembly or on the back on the label.

Do you have the Ultralight screen? If so, I hear it might not physically fit, as they are thinner than the standard.

I'd suggest putting in an AFFS screen while you're swapping out - I paid $90 for mine shipped for an X41 Tablet screen. A few snips here and there, and a trim & flip of the ribbon cable was all it took.
