thank you for the How-To. I am interessted in disassembling the whole lid because I plan to varnish the lid outside. Its acutal completly scratched.

Do you have a close-up of this walkthrough in further disassembling the whole lid?

Thank you!

I’ve replaced my X60s lenovo LCD screen however, when I try to start up the laptop it begins by lighting up all the tabs on the keyboard (as though it was starting up) but then after a few seconds the laptop switches off and goes dead, seems as though the starting up mechanism dies? I’ve tried several times but the same pattern keeps repeating.

Before changing the screen the laptop would start up normally and function correctly with the old screen (IBM confirmed that the screen needed to be changed as it could only be seen very faintly).

Check connections between the video cable and LCD screen. Maybe the video cable is not seated correctly.

Did you purchase the correct replacement screen? If you purchased a different screen, it may require a different video cable.

Here’s something you can try.
Disconnect the video cable from the motherboard and try starting the laptop with an external monitor connected to the VGA port. Will it start this way?

I have same proble, has someone resolve this problem?

Hi I just installed a Display for a t60 and everything looked fine until I turned it on. the screen is dividen in two horizontally. did I miss something?

What was wrong with the old screen?

Not sure what’s going on. Make sure the video cable is properly connected to the LCD screen.
I hope your new screen is compatible with the old one. Maybe it requires a different video cable.

Thanks alot, this guide worked a treat for my Thinkpad T40. Thanks very much.

You are welcome. All ThinkPad laptops are kinda similar.
