Thinkpads Forum

So I just had the misfortune of cracking my WXGA+ LED screen. I know replacing it through Lenovo would cost an arm and a leg. And the only option I see is an ebay listing at $430 after shipping. http://cgi.ebay.com/IBM-LENOVO-X200-X20 ... 325823314?. I can't find any other places that have it in stock or an actual price listing. Are there any other places I can look to compare the price? Or is this the median price for a new WXGA+ screen. I'd prefer to keep the 1440x900 LED goodness..

I don't know if it's fair or median, but these LCDs seem to command a high price based on other threads I've seen here. The $400 range was also mentioned previously. Good luck in your search.

You might contact Brad in NY...he has exerience in this area.

Think you're pretty much hosed on this one. The only ones who've got it are Lenovo and a few authorized parts sellers. You might get lucky on ebay if you can be patient.

Thanks for the replies. I'll try contacting Brad, if that doesn't work out, hopefully the ebay acution I saw is legit.

Hi,

I too have cracked the LCD screen of my X200s and the part number is: 42T0480. I am looking for any lcd screen that is compatible and is economical.

If someone has found any links for economical replacement, kindly help me.

Thanks
Kabeer.

This might be worth a look. It's only a WXGA screen, but it's a LED and a Thinkpad part. It should be a drop in replacement on the X200s, but I've never done it myself so I don't have any firsthand knowledge.

Hi Fred,

Thanks for replying. But unfortunately, this doesnt match my laptop. Because the connector doesnt match and the position doesnt align.

http://cgi.ebay.com/IBM-LENOVO-X200-X20 ... 5639239f52 is the URL that has a picture of what my laptop requires.

Thanks
Kabeer.

Hello All,

After scouring the internet, the cheapest led screen that I could find for this was 300 USD including the delivery charges to uk. All the other listings were expensive.

Please note that a variant of x200s comes with affordable lcd screens. These are affordable.

If you have found a better price for these, post the link here.

The website from which I ordered the LED screen is: http://www.microlinksz.com. And I paid through payPal which was easy and reassuring. Overall the transaction went very well and I am pleased with the way my order was handled.

Thanks
Kabeer
