Require help identifying X60(s)?

[kai]

Hi,

I happen to have purchased what was supposed to be a X60, model 1706-W3Q. Prior to purchasing, I looked up the model which does bring it up as a X60. However, when it arrived, I noticed that the screen bezel marked as X60s. On booting and checking the bios, it is indeed reported as a 1706-W3Q - however there is no sticker on the base identifying type or serial number.

I bought this machine with the intention of creating a frankenpad of some sort as a hobby, ultimately wanting to end up with a X61 maxed out with diy screen upgrade. So..

I'm having some trouble identifying if I actually have a X60 base or X60s base as I think that x60s will only be able to take x61s motherboards? I've looked all over for a FRU on the base to check in the HMM, but I can't seem to find the FRU anywhere - it's listed as 42W3974 on the bottom of the base. It's important as I plan to change the motherboard and obviously want it to fit!

If anyone can help me, it'd be most appreciated. Thanks!

Correct.
Notice the differences in the battery openings and the "foot", as shown in the top right quadrant of each of the pictures below:

Thank you very much for posting the pictures up!

It turns out that I have a X60 base and I guess at some point it's had the screen replaced from a X60s.
