Re: Upgrade Display on X240?

Hi guys, I have a question also. I have a Lenovo Yoga 12.5" with the Full HD. I love the laptop, but my screen has a single pixel line through it. I'm quite certain that the LCD needs to be replaced.

I have opened the laptop and the FRU is: 04X3922 and the LCD model says LP125WF2(SP)(B1). My laptop DOES have touch screen, but I don't have the digitizer pen.

My question (and confusion): Many of the eBay postings which list 04X3922 state that it is NOT touchscreen. Will this screen work in my laptop? Is the "touchscreen" just an extra bezel that I can reuse from my laptop if the LCD itself doesn't ship with it?

Thanks so much in advance.

I just bought a new IPS FHD display off ebay for my X240 and it is like having a new laptop. At 125% scaling I get so much more on the screen, much sharper, coding is far easier now. I bought this one:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/401183079141? ... EBIDX%3AIT

It comes with a plastic screen wrap so I thought it wasn't new at first, but it is an is detected as Wide viewing angle & High Density FlexView Display 1920 x 1080, and it says Manufacturer: Lenovo.

Anyway I can only say that it is a hugely worthwhile upgrade for this price. Only tricky thing is putting the bezel back on, there is still one corner on bottom left which doesnt close properly for some reason.

With sellers like that you always have to be careful.
They mention that you get a "replacement screen this is guaranteed to be fully compatible".
I'd never buy from such a doubtful source, unless they guarantee me the exact manufacturer and model of the screen that I want.
They also claim that screen is for an X240s, it is NOT.

The FRU 04X3922 that they advertize is supposedly this: LGD 12.5"IPS FHD LED backlight LCD panel with touch for Stella model.LGD LP125WF2-SP
As quite usual, Lenovo failed to give the full screen-model (such as LP125WF2-SPB1 or -SPB2 or SPB3 or -SPB4)

What exactly did you get in the end?

Well, in that case congrats are in order for a great LCD at a great price (£54.99 = $70.75). :)

I am planning to upgrade the screen on my x240 too. This thread has been very helpful.

The old FRUs 00HM111 and 04X3922 have ghosting issues so I am trying to avoid them. 00hm745 seems to have become rare so more expensive on ebay.

The cheapest option I am seeing is a panel meant for x260. part number B125HAN02.2 FRU 00HN899. Ebay seller is advertising it as compatible with x240 so I am taking the plunge. Will report how it goes.

Here is the ebay listing - https://www.ebay.ca/itm//322802589462
Same seller has the same screen listed even cheaper here - https://www.ebay.ca/itm/222223117651

Can't find confirmation this will definitely work.
