Anyone done a LED conversion on a T4x?

[gardar]

I just upgraded my 14" T42 to a Sharp LQ141U1LH02 UXGA screen.

The backlight is a little dim so I thought about replacing the CCFL's with new ones but then I came across the LED upgrade kits that lcdparts.net sell

Has anyone here tried them? Are they worth the money or should I just grab some new CCFL's?

Welcome to the forum!

There's a member who has performed a conversion of a similar kind on a X6x tablet, but I have yet to hear of anyone who has done it on a T4x unit.

Good luck and keep us posted.

Thanks!

Any chance of you having a link to that topic?

I'm interested in seeing if there is a lot of difference from a ccfl aswell as where he'd place the led converter.

Having been lurking for a couple of years,have finally registered on the Forum.

I would like to know more about this and am waiting for the results of any one who does it. I have a T43p 2669-GEG, the 14.1"screen is fine,for now,although is hard to see in sunlight,especially watching movies.

I am thinking the LED upgrade would be a vast improvement on brightness,might be wrong though. Have looked thru LCDparts.net website and the choices are vast,how does one determine which screen is fitted to my laptop?

Just as a side note,I am running Mageia Linux only on this and has been faultless since converting to Linux,can highly recommend to any one wanting to try Linux even as a duel boot system.
