R60 Upgrade Display

[davide4688]

Hi, i'm a new member!

I'm sorry for my bad english

I want to upgrade the display on my thinkpad R60 type 9462-98G.

Actually my notebook he has a display XGA (1024x768) 15-inch, it's possible to change with a display SXGA (1400x1050) 15-inch ??

I know that there are more types of R60 and some they have a display SXGA (1400x1050) .

In this site there is more type of display: http://www.laptopscreen.com/English/model/IBM-Lenovo/LENOVO~THINKPAD~R60/

Thanks for help! bye

yes you can upgrade the display to the SXGA+, but i am not sure whether the screens from the supplier you listed will work.

You need a genuine Lenovo-issued LCD with a FRU number, not a generic replacement one.

That machine will take a LG Phillips IPS SXGA+ which was used in T60...do some research and get one of those, you'll love it.

I found on ebay moore display: http://shop.ebay.it/i.html?LH_PrefLoc=2&_nkw=lg%20lp150%20sxga%2B&_trkparms=65%253A15%257C66%253A2%2...

There are more type, like (A2), (K2), ecc... what are these?

which one is compatible with my notebook?

thanks!!

You need L150E05-A2 with a FRU number (42T0325 is one of them).

Good luck.

None.

They're both generic garbage.

[davide4688]

Could you hint me a site where to buy the display?

I don't know no one!

thanks

This looks correct:

Proceed at your own risk.

Good luck.

You can do the Hydis UXGA screen too if you're inclined.  There's one here.
