Swap T60 and T61 lid?

#1 Post by 600X » Sat May 07, 2016 7:47 am

Hi,

It's possible to place the lid of a 14" T60 onto a 14" T61, but I was wondering if the same is possible with the 15" widescreen versions? The hinges on the T61 are quite a turn-off. It would be great if they could be replaced with something more reliable. Does anybody have experience with this?

This is also nice since T60 hinges don't get nearly as loose as the ones on T61 units.
