All new frankenpad species? The 14'' T43pF 15''? *Pictures*
All new frankenpad species? The 14'' T43pF 15''? *Pictures*
So, I decided to test out if the 15'' UXGA display I had lying around, actually works.
I tested the 15'' display on a 14'' body, thereby making a bit of a frankie.
I have been thinking about trying to mod a 14'' chassis to fit the larger 15'' screen.
Anyway, I'll let the pictures speak for themselves.

Wow! Awesome! This reminds me of the A20 series. They all had the same body but different screen sizes. So what IBM did was simply but a larger Keyboard bezel on it. Perhaps someone might be able to make something similar.

Why? Seems like a lot of work, when 15" T4x bases are rather plentiful, no modifications needed. Unless, you just like to tinker with such things.Cola wrote:I have been thinking about trying to mod a 14'' chassis to fit the larger 15'' screen.
Collection = T430 - T500 - R400 - X300 - T61 (14" WXGA+) - R61 (15" SXGA+) - T60 - X40 - T43p - T43 - T42p - A30P

Well, it's mostly because I like to mess around with such things, but also because both two bottom halfs 15'' models I have, are in some rather sad condition, which is really bugging me.

Another advantage would be the much thinner body of the 14" model.

Hey! You have a Dell! Some of you might be able to remember what I'm talking about, back around 2000 when Dell decided they'd do a 15" Inspiron 7500, but didn't want to redo the lower case from the 14" model......so they just put a bigger screen on it and it hung over the edge on 3 sides!

Please know that ALL motherboards from R5x/T4x series are virtually identical in shape/size/connectors/ports and will fit in ALL 14.1" and 15" models of R5x/T4x.
Only difference: some R5x mobos have a Firewire/1394 connector between PCMCIA cage and wifi clamp-arm, but they can be ignored when placed in a T4x.
(so Cola could have moved the 14.1" mobo into his 15" base instead...)
