T410 2518-EQG with broken LCD. What model of LCD should I buy? [ Edited ]

[hombit]

Hello. I have broken my 1280x800 LCD on T410 2518-EQG and want to buy new via eBay. There are 2 pairs of models: 42T0729 (1280x800) (1, 2) and 42T0431 (1440x900) (1, 2). Will 1440x900 model work on my laptop? Which of 2 items should I buy?

Sorry for my English.

Thanks.

Hello mate,

I'm not sur the WXGA+ will work as the good part foryour model is 42T0729. Lenovo put a whitelist in the machine which generate an error if the part don't have the good FRU.

The only way to go around that is hacking the BIOS whic allow you to put any spare part you want but it will void your warranty.

So, I should buy 1280x800 model . But why saler has two items with same FRU? And which I should choose?

They are exactly the same product.
