So, I am currently in the process of buying a thinkpad 240 from a member on this forum.

However, the screen is broken.
I can get a complete replacement top case + screen for $50.
This seems a little high.

There are some bare LCDs on ebay right now that are IBM brand 10.4'' screens for around $20.

I am looking at buying a screen intended for a Thinkpad 365. (part #46H7986) I would then put it in the 240.
Is this a silly idea?

The 10.4" panel for the Thinkpad 365 has a resolution of 640x480, while the one for the 240 is 800x600.

According to Thinkwiki, http://thinkwiki.org/wiki/TFT_display, the 240 shares the same LCD panel as the 365X, 365XD, 535, 535E, 535X, 755CX, 760C, 760L, 760LD, 820, 850, i Series 1200, and TransNote.

Happy hunting.
