T61 - WXGA to WXGA+ (LCD cable question)

#1 Post by SHoTTa35 » Fri Dec 11, 2009 11:23 am

Well i've searched and got a few questions answered but the only thing that i can't figure out is if i need a new LCD cable.

I have a T61:
Based on 7659-2SU: T8100(2.1GHz), 4GB RAM*, 120GB 5400rpm HD, 14.1in 1280x768 LCD, Intel X3100, CDRW/DVDRW, Intel 802.11agn wireless, Modem, 1Gb Ethernet, UltraNav, Secure chip, Camera, 6c Li-Ion, Fingerprint Reader*, Win7 Pro*

* = Upgrades installed

In my parts lookup i have this:

42X3369 0000000 14.1 WXGA W/O BT W/ CAMERA W/O WWAN W/ 1

but it doesn't show anything about the LCD cable of-course.

Question
Do i need to upgrade my LCD cable if i want Bluetooth and upgrading my LCD to WXGA+?

As i said i searched and saw some panels i can upgrade to (thanks HarryC) but before i go getting the BT card and the WXGA+ panel, i wanted to see if i need to get the LCD cable at the sametime also.

The FRU# for a WXGA LCD cable with bluetooth and a camera is 93P4376
The FRU# for a WXGA+ LCD cable with bluetooth and a camera is 93P4376

Therefore, I'd say you can use the same LCD cable.

Wow, well that was easy :)

I was confused since i kept seeing "WXGA+ LCD Cables" on eBay for sale making me think there was a difference. Oh well, now i know.

Now which one is all i need to decide now :)

Thanks again!
