I tried swapping the SXGA+ from my X60 tablet with an XGA from another laptop, and ended up bricking my X60, the pins where the mobo is expecting EDID info on the X60 were grounded on the lcd and I got the four by four security chip beep, so my X60 is ruined. The laptop it is going into doesn't use the pins connected to the EDID for that purpose, so the screen works but is still at XGA resolution, taking up 2/3 of the screen then tiling. Since my X60 is dead I can't hook the lcd back up to retrieve the EDID myself, which takes almost no effort with the right software in Windows. If anyone has either an SXGA+ X60 tablet or a laptop modded with HV121p01-100, and would be willing to run one of these programs to retrieve the EDID to send to me, it should help save my currently useless lcd. It only takes a few minutes to do and would help me infinitely. Here are some of the programs:

mainly I need the long EDID string, but i am also looking for the Product ID #, Vendor ID # if these programs list that too, one of them also allows you to save an INF file which would be useful. (the second program seems to give product id, vendor id, and edid and takes just a minute to install). thank you in advance for any help it will really save the day

Hi, I have the X61t SXGA+... is this helpful? Just let me know.

Hey Kamaleon!

I appreciate the thought, but I am pretty sure the X61 tablet has HV121P01-101 lcd, and I need the EDID from a HV121P01-100, so close but I'm not sure it would work, I really appreciate the thought though. Take care!

Just checked with PC Wizard and it seems you are right... sorry not being able to help.
Sorry to hear about your machine going bad too.

I hope this is what you need:

Thank you both so much!! Kamaleon sent me the X61 yesterday, and it was actually probably close enough, only off by two bits.. but i'm using the one from matasj because it's the perfect match for my LCD.. so far it works beautifully in OSX86.. but in Windows the EDID override doesn't allow the native resolution to show up as an option in my display settings.. I've tried over and over and am worried I'm just screwing up my registry.. but I will stick to it, now that I know it works in one operating system I know it will work, unless windows has some major hangups.. but thank you both so much, you got me to the point where i can take control of the project myself!
Take care!

great!
