Damaged T60 screen

[JPS]

Hello guys

 

Been a real wally tonight and accidentally applied too much pressure to my Thinkpad T60 (yep, you guessed it, I trod on it!). So,

 

Is it possible for a novice to fit a new one? If yes, can you recommend a decent supplier? If no, can you recommend somewhere that will do the job for me?

 

A seriously pi**ed off James.

P.S. you may be able to get screen's a bit cheaper, there are some others on eBay second hand from broken laptops.

Or you could speak to the lovely John Graham of ICT direct who sells many a T60 and may well be able to get you a screen

They are easy to change. Best way is to get a whole new lid and then it's a 5 minute job...otherwise it will take about 30 minutes because of the faffing about with bits of plastic and fiddly little screws. We have had to 'fix' several X60 screens

 

ICT Direct or Fleabay are your friends for the parts.
