X230 screen bezel on X220?

[skrble]

Hello,

I have TP X220, and I have unfortunately few times seen, that screen bezel bends out under direct sun light. Furthermore left and right upper corners are cracked and the bezel itself is slightly ratty under the display (it has some contact with keyboard when laptop is closed), so I decided to buy new bezel.

I would like to buy X230 bezel to avoid that strange "sunlight" problem. Bezels should be interchangeable between X220 and X230, so I have a question - does X230 have the same problem with bending and cracking?

PS: the overall build quality of the lid is horrible. I would like to meet one day with that designer. He is definitely gonna be the engineer like any other (except Acer).

Thank you for help

I haven't used an X230, but I can just verify that I had the exact same problem and was quite irritated. Be careful with the top "trim" area of the lid, as it seems to easily snap off of the rest of the lid as it did on mine. The lid is pitiful on it for sure. I wonder if the entire screen assembly can be swapped.

Old post I realise that. Just answering a question.

I have infront of me both X220 and X230. I swapped the complete displays to test a few things.

My X220 with X230 screen works fine and so do my X230 with a X220 screen.
