Re: testing an SL500 panel
Hi all. I have an LCD panel that was originally from an SL500. It is an FRU 42T0534 and model LTN154AT07-002. Would anyone know off-hand if panels used in an SL500 would be somehow testable on a T61 widescreen board? Just asking because I have no use for the panel and if the panel is working fine (previous owner says it is fine) then I would like to put it up for sale in the marketplace. TIA.

Re: testing an SL500 panel
I would say NO.
The SL500 screen uses a different LCD-cable and inverter from any Standard or Widescreen T60/T61!
The SL500 screen connector looks the same (30-pin at 1mm spacing), but is completely differently wired from the T60/T61 LCD.
That SL500 (WXGA) has only wires between pins 1 and 20, the "matching" T6x uses all 30 wires.
The SL500 mobo connector is also completely different from the T6x connector.

Re: testing an SL500 panel
Ah OK that does make sense.The connector does look different between the both of them. Thanks RBS!
