I tried and I failed on T410 a while back

I know many prefer the 16:10 format, but with the performance gain and now FHD IPS you can get with a T420 or T430, I can adapt to 16:9.

As mentioned PM me with your email if interested. An estimate on prices will be: X220 I3 2310m, no hdd and ram, FHD glossy IPS: 350 USD (not including shipping). X220 I5 2520m, no hdd and ram, FHD glossy IPS: 400 USD (not including shipping). X220 I7 2620m, no hdd and ram, FHD glossy IPS: 500 USD (n...

Hi Guys Sorry for the delay, I have been on a business trip. So to answer all your questions. Can I buy a DIY kit and do this mod myself? The seller offers DIY kits and I will try to get some info on that. The mod requires soldering the adapter to the mainboard, which might also require some skill. ...

New panel: G141C1-L01

Is it this one? http://www.azdisplays.com/PDF/G141C1-L01.pdf

Yes its that one.

putting the old screen back doesn't work. I think I burned the LCD cable

I don't have the datasheets in hand. The panels are: Original: B141PW04. H/W:2A F/W:1 or LP141WP3 TLA1 ( Just tried on another T410 with the same results). New panel: G141C1-L01 Adapter: http://www.iccfl.com/product_info.php?products_id=21398 I will try to boot it with linux and see if it can displa...

update: OK, I got the display and adapter but seems the thinkpad won't recognize the display. I can see its lit and i can see differences when I turning brightness up and down. The computer can start and works with external display, but the internal display remains black. This might mean that even w...

That won't be a problem I live 2 hours away from the seller and speak fluent Mandarin. The shipping and the ordering I would be willing to help with. Its quite easy to find Thinkpads cheap in China at good prices. I usually get them from a local supplier in Guangzhou who specializes in Thinkpads. Mo...

The shipping itself shouldn't be a problem. What I'm worried about is the laptop battery, but if that's a problem it could just be send without battery.

My main concern would be the duty in Europe. I'm not sure how that works with a refurb laptop. Anyone with experiences?

Good news to people living in China. There is a seller on Taobao who now does this mod on X220 and X230. Besides doing the mod for you they also offer to buy a refurbished machine fit in the FHD IPS and then sell it to you for a reasonable price. Seller: http://shop116423671.taobao.com/?spm=2013.1.1...

Well it seems sourcing the G141C1-L01 panel might not be as easy as I thought.

It might also be that this adapter works for other of the panels used in Dell. I will update in this thread once I find a panel

This is starting to be interesting I have found this adapter for T410, it says G141C1-L01 replace LP141WP3 TLA1 adapter for lenovo T410: http://www.iccfl.com/product_info.php?products_id=21398 I guess this means I might be able to fit in the G141C1-L01 if I buy this adapter. UPDATE: OK, I'm gonna go...

Haven't ordered anything yet :-) Very interesting, but it seems my only easy option is to go with one of the panels listed on Thinkwiki. Would you expect the AUO to be better than LG or Samsung? The AUO is listed as with a 500:1 contrast which I should think is better than the LG and Samsung. I will...

I spend most of my time in Asia so I will proably just source the panel on taobao.

I have google'd the panel but haven't been able to find something. The T410 display is weak anyway so might aswell just go for LG panel and be over with it

OK, I have found this LG panel, Lp141wp3-tla1. I'm not sure which display I have right now but as its broken I need a replacement. Thing is I also see quite a few Samsung panels, but guess I will just go for LG WXGA+ one. Anyone know if there will be a difference between LG WXGA+ LED and Samsung WXG...

Hi all, One of my T410 got a broken display and as this is still my main travel pc I would like to buy a new panel, but I'm not sure which one. The broken one is a 1440x900 LED panel. The reason I am asking is that I know there are different options for T410 but probably also different manufacturers...

Hi guys So having used a Thinkpad T410 for a long time it seems its time for me to upgrade. However after reading on several forums that the display on the T420 is bad I feel scared that going from T410 to T420 will be a downgrade display wise? Can anyone comment on that? I also had a look at the T5...

I would definitely go for the following upgrades. Intel n-6200 ½ size wifi card. SSD of somekind (I can recommend Intel and Samsung). The 2 above would require Middleton BIOS in order for SATA-II and being able to boot with a non-lenovo wifi card. In addition to that you could upgrade to 2x2 GB RAM ...

I have a few CPUs here and was thinking about switching my T61 4:3 to maybe P8700 or P9500, do you guys think there would be a temperature difference from a T7300 and T7500? I have a few unit just waiting for frankenpad mods etc, but thinking a cooler CPU might spark new life into it, if they will r...
