"HArdware compatability"- T60 14.1 ->T400 14.1 screen mod

#1 Post by skygear » Thu May 14, 2009 12:50 am

T60 14.1 ->T400 14.1 heres the deal, I want to get the T400 14.1 screen enclosure and put it onto my t60.... i looked at the support section for both but cant get a good look at the actual parts...
the new antenna setup is nice
http://www.lenovoservicetraining.com/ doesnt have the T400 on it yet and http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site. ... MIGR-70425 looks like it could work.... hinge distance?

if anyone has access to both units and wouldnt mind "tinkering" a little bit. i'd like to see what lines up and what doesnt...

i want to keep my sxga+ screen but put it into the t400screen housing as well

another question.... would the firegl5200 mobo support the same T400 lcd connector and thus the camera? or is it bios dependant?. .. basically a full retro fit...

HELP

How do you plan to put a SXGA+ 4:3 screen into a widescreen notebook?

Especially for questions of this kind, it is important to give us the 7-character TYPE numbers of the machine(s) involved.
If it's an xxxx-CTO you also need to give the relevant specs (like screen size/resolution in this case) etc.

The best you can do is a T61/p 14.1" 4:3. And, the 14.1" T61/p motherboard will fit in your existing case.

That, along with the X61, are the last 4:3 ThinkPads. Everything with a three digit series number is 16:10.
Current: 365XD (120 MHz, 72 MiB, 6.4 GB, 4x CD-ROM, 10.4" TFT)
Past: T61p 15.0" QXGA, T60p 15.0" QXGA, X61 Tablet SXGA+, R51e 14.1" XGA, X21
