For sale: LCD cables suitable for the X61 SXGA+ mod. They are similar (but a bit neater and better made) than the one mentioned in this post http://forum.thinkpads.com/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=102432.
The cable isn't a converter to add on to the existing LCD cable, but a complete replacement. In fact, it's essentially a genuine X61 LCD cable with everything (Thinklight, Bluetooth, etc) working, just with some wires re-arranged and re-positioned to fit an SXGA+ screen.
The advantages over a converter cable are: excellent shielding (you won't need to wrap it up in foil to avoid interference); it's very robust (no hand-soldering involved); and it takes up no extra space. This last is very important: if you've tried the mod you'll know how little spare room there is, and how frustrating it is fit every in only to see pressure marks spoiling your beautiful new screen.
I'm asking 40 EUR + postage for a fully tested and working cable - please PM me if you're interested.
EDIT: here's a photo: http://www.flickr.com/photos/11551903@N03/7840882594/. As a Brit, it's hard for me to be so assertive, but: you can't buy a better cable.
EDIT / bump: I've just completed a new batch

Re: FS: LCD cable for X61 SXGA+ mod
That's clever; have you just cut in the middle of the redundant grounding between the data lines to facilitate folding it over?
Re: FS: LCD cable for X61 SXGA+ mod
hello,
have you still got at least one cable?
