Feeler: Value of a genuine AUO B156HW01 V.4

Hello. Just wondering around what an AU Optronics full HD display would go for? Part #0A66631; very good condition. Thanks.

Re: Positive feedback for FAIR Traders

Just wanted to give a quick shout-out to theterminator93 for hooking me up with restore files for my new (to me) T520.

From my quick research of the FRU numbers you put, you have upgraded your old 768p display to a 900p one.
Actually, the original was also a 1600 x 900 panel. :wink:

And the horizontal viewing angles on the LG are almost on par with a FlexView.

Make sure to tape that connector securely like it has done out of the factory.
:thumbs-UP:

BTW, this LG-made screen is so much better than the original IMHO.

Re: Replacement T510 LCD shows all-white

Never mind; found the issue. The LCD cable had come ever so slightly unplugged from the screen upon re-assembly.

Replacement T510 LCD shows all-white

Hello. Recently the LCD in my T510 died, and I just got done installing a used one from eBay. The original was an AU Optronics part #42T0762. The "new" one is an LG, part #42T0742. It shows nothing but pure white. I was under the impression any T510 LCD would work, regardless of manufacturer. Is thi...

Safe to assume you re-soldered the coils?
No, I have yet to try anything other than removing the RAM, hard drive and DVD drive to see if the unit's behavior changed. Soldering anything on a motherboard would be way above my pay grade.

George, I will have to check on that. The machine in question belongs to a family member. The unit is showing the exact same "blink of death" symptoms as often seen on the T2x machines. :??:

Feeler: LF T60/T60p board with ATi graphics

I could be in need of a T60 mobo w/ATi in the near future, and thought I'd check to see if anyone here might have one taking up space before I venture into the shark-filled waters of eBay. This would be for a 15" 4:3 machine if it matters. Thanks.
