Lid swap for X1 Carbon Gen 6 / 7 / 8?
Posted: Wed Oct 05, 2022 2:14 pm
Are the lids between X1 Carbon G6 - 7 - 8 compatible with each other? I was thinking about picking up a G7 (with a 10th gen processor) and swapping out the lid since my G6 has a 1440p display and the G7 has a 1080p display. I believe I could probably pull the displays and swap them, but that's a much bigger job.
The PARTS are for sure different according to the PSREF (https://download.lenovo.com/Images/Part ... R437_B.jpg & https://download.lenovo.com/Images/Part ... 8073_B.jpg)
but it seems like the attachment points look the same (https://www.notebookcheck.net/Lenovo-Th ... ml#6164777 & https://www.notebookcheck.net/Lenovo-Th ... #4006354-1)
The routing of the display cable could be an issue if they are different lengths (or different connectors, but it doesn't seem that way).
Any thoughts?
