Just successfully replaced my T410 LCD using your instructions, they are great. Only suggestion would be to make it clear that the video cable pulls out in the same plane as the panel, the plug is so small I wasn’t sure if it went in perpendicular or parallel, had to find a youtube video to clarify.

Thanks for posting these instructions!

Hey, I bought a replacement screen recently for my T410 but got the 1400×900 instead of the 1280×800 my original screen had. When I connected it, the screen appeared fine first, although much dimmer than usual. However, it started flickering and the brightness eventually died leaving a faint image of the desktop. The computer was still on and working but the screen was so dark, you couldn’t see what’s going on. I’ve done some research and I think it may be the inverter rather than the screen. Any tips?

In reply to Jeremie Frank. Jeremie Frank,

I have not actually done any repair yet but I am about to try to replace the graphics chip or entire motherboard of a friendâ€s old Thinkpad (Type 2379). I have not been able to locate a manual. Is this a part I can buy (the motherboard) and replace at an electronics store?

Most likely the graphics card integrated into the motherboard and cannot be replaced separately. You cannot buy new motherboard in a local electronics store but probably you can find it online. You have to be aware that replacement IBM/Lenovo motherboards are very expensive. I don't think the laptop worth fixing if it has failed motherboard. Here's the official service manual for ThinkPadT40/T40p,T41/T41p,T42/T42p.

The screen shows garbled pixellations upon opening the laptop and starting. Immediately it goes to this garbled rolling jumble of colors and nothing else happens.

First of all, test the laptop with an external monitor. If external image is good and the problem appears only on the laptop screen, most likely this is not a problem with the graphics card. This could be either failing LCD screen or bad video cable.

I really want to try to do this myself. Geek Squad apparently quoted $150 plus parts.

This cannot be a quote for the motherboard replacement. For a new motherboard they would quote something like $400-500 or just tell your friend to buy a new laptop.

If you would kindly email me if I can access the motherboard without removong the whole screen (flip-open monitor screen) Iâ€d be very grateful.

You'll find disassembly instructions in the service manual.

Your instructions are the best. I have not actually done any repair yet but I am about to try to replace the graphics chip or entire motherboard of a friend’s old Thinkpad (Type 2379).

Thanks for your time.
Unfortunately I can’tse a phone at work and I am in AZ (Mountain time). So email is best. Thanks again.
