t430 display interchangable with 420
t430 display interchangable with 420
Are the screens of T420 and T430 the same? Is it possible to replace one with another?
My T430 with GTX 560 Ti (Now with GTX 670)
T430: i5-3320m, 8 GB, SSD + HDD, 1600x900.

Re: t430 display interchangable with 420
Thanks for the answer. Just to make sure: I could purchase a T420 1600x900 screen and just simply put it in my T430? Do I need to buy a different display cable as well for a higher resolution screen?
Is there a possibility to insert a better screen than the ones for T4x0 series? I found this site: http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Replacing ... better_one
It describes how to replace the screen with X1 Carbon's, however, it mentions one needs a different cable when going with higher resolution and for a X1 Carbon screen there's a need to customize the cable manually. I've never done such thing before and I fear I might break it or just not make it. Is there any other site/blog/anything that deals with this kind of stuff particularly for T430? Have any of you ever done this?
