Substituting display/keyboard between T42 & T60p

[PaulB]

I have recently upgraded from a T42 to a T60p. Each one is a 14" model with a SXGA+ panel. IMHO, the colour/contrast on my old panel (Samsung) is better than the new one (TMD), and I also prefer the feel of my old keyboard compared to the new one.

Does anybody know if they are compatible? That is, can I simply substitute them? Assuming I can do that, is the keyboard a customer replaceable unit? I assume the LCD panel is not (i.e., I would void my warranty on the T60p if I replaced the panel myself). I guess I could have an authorized Thinkpad service shop substitute it for me and therefore safeguard the warranty. Does that make sense?

Thanks for your advice.

Hi...

Both the keyboard connections and also the LCD connections are completley different and not compatible
