T43 Scrren Replacement

[Khelaram]

My T43 screen is broken. I have good T42 screen. Can I replace the T43 screen with T42?

Can I do the same with the keyboard?

Should be no problem. It is easiest if you swap the entire lid assembly, and not mess around pulling out the LCD panel. Refer to the HW maintenance manual, downloadable from Lenovo for instructions.

One point of caution – is the T43 a 187x model versus a 26xx model? The former have Intel GPUs, and one member reports that they do not support SXGA+ displays. So if your T42 was SXGA+ (1400 x 1050 resolution versus XGA: 1024 x 768), it will not work in a T43 with the Intel GPU.

Keyboards are all interchangeable between T4x series with 14.1” LCD displays. The 15” and 14.1” are not interchangeable, as they have different locations
