Compatibility of 240 240X lids

#1 Post by virge » Wed Sep 24, 2008 4:21 pm

I know that there are A and B type LCDs. Also the HMM shows a different part number for the 240X.

Does anyone know if the lids are still interchangeable though?

Can't help with your question I'm afraid, but just curious - did they ever do a XGA version of that machine ?

_Very_ nice little thing ISTR ... but not sure I could live with SVGA these days ....

From a physical standpoint the lids are interchangeable. The hinges line up as do the latches. But the lid has to match the screen type because the 4 attaching screw mounts are in different places.

Yes, it's known as 240Z and is pretty rare and expensive...guts are shared with 240X model...
