I may be a bit late to the game on this, but if you're still counting how many kits to order, please put me down for a non-S kit for my t430.

I have a T420 non-s and I'm interested in either the FHD mod or the 2K mod. Do you still have your device for sale?

Sadly, I still get the glitch with B140HAN01.1...
Still no glitches with mine after several months of continual usage.
However, my 1.1 is actually glossy, and during the install I peeled back
some plastic shrouding which revealed that my B140HAN01.1 is
actually a re-labelled B140HAN01.0, so I don't know if this
indicates that the problem is with some cards or with genuine
B140HAN01.1 displays.

Interesting. Unfortunately the info I have indicates B140HAN01.0 never came in matte, so I guess I'll continue working with what I have and hope that next year RMS has his friend bring over revised/fixed kits.

Wow, amazing how things have progressed since I last looked in to this a year ago! My trusty T430 (I've had it almost 4 years) has had pretty much everything else upgraded but the screen has always been bugging me, even with the 1600x900 panel.

I'd definitely be interested in one of these boards if they become available again, looks like I can source a B140HAN01.0 matte panel from laptopscreens.com for ~$120 CAD incl. shipping (other panel versions are out of stock).

Thanks RMSMajestic for sourcing these converter boards! Good luck with your interview.

Question .. Since these are being offered by you on eBay, should we go there to get them or wait for you to contact us here on the forum?
