T61 replacement screen?

[sgogula]

My thinkpad T61 (7658-CTO) screen broke last week. I am planning to replace the screen myself. Please could you suggest the screen for this model and any specific online stores where I can get the screen.

Thanks.

I would need to know the resolution of your original screen. It might be wxga (1280X800) or WXGA+ (1440X900)

Screens can be difficult. They can be described as "compatible", but really don't work. I tend to buy used screens on eBay from sellers I have had good experiences with. I checked, and none of the ones I have used have anything for sale right now.

The seller I linked to above is reliable. I have bought from them before.

Thanks for the link. Do you know any store other than eBay where I can find screen?

[Harryc]

No, I do not.

[sgogula]

are these compatible with my model?

On paper yes. It comes down to whether or not you trust this vendor. The second LCD has a 12 month warranty for $5 more. Seems worth it.

I never heard about this vendor but I am going to buy it using paypal so that I would be protected. I would go with the second one. Only thing is I do not see the model number for this LCD.

Thanks for helping me to choose one.
