W540 4K Screen in W530

#1 Post by dbear6 » Tue May 20, 2014 9:10 pm

Hello everyone, I was wondering if the Thinkpad W530 and W540 screens used the same connectors or not. I was going to attempt to get a W540 screen on eBay and install it into my W530 but I wanted to see if anyone had any experience with this first. Thanks everyone!

Thats impossible, due to different connectors (eDP on the W540, LVDS on the W530) and locked UEFI-BIOS of the W530, which is very difficult to mod.
