Swap T500 LCDs

#1 Post by BobA » Wed Apr 11, 2012 12:45 am

Can I swap out (remove) a T500 WXGA LED LCD and put in a CCFL LCD (any of the three resolutions)? I am assuming I can - and that there is nothing on the motherboard that knows (or cares) which LCD is there.

Thanks -- Bob

You need to replace the panel, and the LED control board must be replaced by an inverter. Nothing else changes.
