t43 display problem
bought a used thinkpad w no hd and bad LCD. I replaced the lcd. got a hd.Display looks fine in bios but in windows or ubuntu the screen is too large for the display and the top of the display is repeated on the botom 1/4 of the screen.. I installed drivers for video, changed resolution to no avail.
any ideas?
ok in further trying to fig this out I see that I bought a t43p- 2668 screen and I have a t43 1875 box ...obviously this doesnt work...lol but i sthere a fix before I buy the right screen?

Welcome to the forum!
What is the screen size of your T43? Full 7-character model number - 1875-???
Help us help you by providing this info. TIA.

Re: t43 display problem
This sounds like you bought either an SXGA+ (1400x1050) or UXGA (1600x1200) screen.
The T43 with Intel graphics (such as your 1875-machine) can only handle XGA (1024x768) screens.
Exception: some T43 and all R52 machines with 15" LCD and Intel graphics can also support SXGA+

Re: t43 display problem
You have a 14.1" T43 with Intel graphics. NO support for anything but XGA (1024x768).

Re: t43 display problem
OK...bad news and good news...
Bad news: nothing but XGA (as already stated by RBS) will work on that machine. You likely have a SXGA+ panel.
Good news is that I have a complete LCD assembly for a 14" XGA T43 if you're interested.
Might even consider a trade.
PM if interested.

and
IBM Thinkpad T40p Laptop Intel Mobile 1.60 GHz 512 MB RAM No HD DVD-ROM/CD-RW
Model: T40p, Type 2373-G1U
Functionality:
Computer powers on and can boot into the BIOS.
All other functions are UNTESTED.
15 bucks each plus shipping so Im out 30 bucks for a screen that might be good from the t43 1871cto and I got the t40p for my daughter cause she thinks my thinkpad is cool (smart kid)
so according to this table from lenovo support the type 1871cto should work assuming i got a pc with a good screen for my 15 bucks

Re: t43 display problem
Problem is that T43 and T40 are of a different generation.
RAM, CPU and fan from the T43 will not fit/work in the T40p and v.v.
The T40p screen (SXGA+) will not work in the T43 (XGA) as you just found out, but v.v. is OK.
The rest is interchangeable.

Re: t43 display problem
yeah I just got the t40 for my daughter, I have a spare hd so I should be able to get her a decent box for 30 bucks, she has an acer netbook and doesnt use it much cause its tiny.
