Hello,
I want yo buy a Cable+invertor KIT to put a hv150ux2-100 screen in a 14" t61 4:3 board in a T60 15" 4:3 chasis, the classic frankenpad.
If you have any please message me. I am located in Bucharest Romania.
I made a post in the T60/T61 section of the forum about my build.
Thank you for your time.

There's kits that can be found on tpart.net, but they're quite pricey. I don't know anyone else offhand who has a kit handy or access to one... but the big challenge is flipping the LVDS pinout and adapting the backlight connector. Most of the info can be found here: https://sites.google.com/site/twisteroi ... -3-t60-t61

But you will still need to source the connectors and the wires. There's info on where to solder onto the T60 inverter. Me and some buds on the Thinkpad Discord are trying to put a kit together, but it's going to be awhile as we have a lot of other stuff going on.

You need this 14-pin connector https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006 ... pt=deu2glo
Cut off the black connector, rearrange the wires, join them into 4 groups of 1 wire each, extend each group cable by another 10cm and solder those 4 to the inverter.
You can use a paint stripper hot air gun to remove the LCD-connector from the LCD-cable.
Turn the connector over and solder it back again, using some flux.
I've done well over a 100 of them, but due to advancing age (I'll be 81 by the end of March) I had to stop doing them.
Sounds easy but needs a lot of precision.
