LCD swap

#1 Post by Hornnumb2 » Fri Jan 13, 2006 4:54 pm

I have a T22 with a SXGA lcd now and just purchased a used T30 with XGA lcd. Can I swap these between the 2 machines so I have SXGA on the T30....Thanks Michael

Once my warranty is up id love to try something like this on my XGA t23? Does anyone know if this is possible? Does anyone know of a reputable supplier of the 14" SXGA screens?

You cannot swap the screens between the T30 and T22, they use different controllers.

as far as upgrading the T23, youll need the SXGA+ panel and the SXGA+ LCD ribbon cable, as the standard XGA one does not support the SXGA+ panel. They arent exactly easy to find, but one will pop up on ebay every once in a while. Expect to pay ~$200.
