My T400 screen broke today My current screen is WGXA+ CCFL FRU 42T0597

What parts would I need to upgrade to a LED Screen, with a camera? Has anyone done this upgrade before?

I am guessing I would need a new bezel, the camera, new cable, LED subcard and the screen itself. What am I forgetting?

Is the WXGA+ LED T400 screen significantly better than the CCFL screen I have?

Thanks in advance!

It sounds like that's all you need. Make sure the cable is for LED screens with camera (might as well get the one with Bluetooth too.

The quality of the WXGA+ panel can vary, but it's very usable except in cases where color accuracy is desired. It'll last longer than a CCFL panel though.

Thanks, I have been pricing it out and it looks like it will cost $250 for all the parts. I think I will stick with CCFL. I currently have FRU 42T0597, which is the AOU Opteronics screen.
