Parts upgrade questions on T430

#1 Post by s0uls » Tue Jun 03, 2014 6:37 am

I got a base model t430 (1366x768 screen, HDD, no backlight KB)

I would like to put a 1600x900 screen on it, an Msata drive for the os (64/120gb)

While the msata ssd upgrade is easy like a ram upgrade. I would like to know if the screen replacement is posible.

I saw many ebay listing for t430 screens running the resolution I want but I don't know if they will work on my machine.

Is there a way to validate that before ordering a display ?
I have already changed display panels on older thinkpads but always for the same FRU.

Thanks in advance!

You will need another LCD cable for the HD+ screen, either 04W6867 or 04W6868.
And you have a choice of panels:
04W3331 LGD 14.0" HD+
93P5685 SEC 14.0" HD+
93P5693 AUO 14.0" HD+
Don't know about their quality.

as stated on previous reply, you need to ensure the LCD cable for HD+ screen is available.
