R61 Screen Upgrade.

#1 Post by TwigletZone » Sun Feb 14, 2021 6:08 pm

Hi all, this is my second post here and hoping for some helpful advice. I have two R61's, one is a type 8918 with 6GB and a 120Gb SSD with a T7250 cpu, NVidia Quadro NVS 140M with a 15.4" display capable of 1680x1050. The second is a type 8935, 3GB with the same 120Gb SSD, has Intel graphics chipset and a 15.4" display of 1280x800.

My question is, is it possible to replace the display in the second machine with a display of the same spec of the first machine? IE, replace the 1280x800 with a 1680x1050 display?

Any help will be appreciated. thank you. :)

R61 8918 - 15.4" NVidia NVS 140M, T8300 CPU, 6GB Ram, 120GB SSD, Win7, M's BIOS
R61 8935 - 15.4" Intel 965 Graphics, T8300 CPU, 4Gb Ram, 120GB SSD, Win7, M's BIOS

And maybe more R61's to follow.... :eek:

Yes. Swapping the entire LCD assembly is the fastest and easiest way to go about it.
