Hi there,

is there anyone here who has successfully replaced the display in a T14 Gen 1 AMD with a better one?

I bought this laptop second-hand, and it does everything I need. The first unit I looked at had beautiful colors, but there were key markings on the screen — a no-go for me, as I'm very particular about screen cleanliness.

The second unit I ended up buying is in like-new condition, but the display is absolutely terrible — a strong green tint, feels extremely slow, and I haven't been able to calibrate it properly. I later looked up the panel model, and the 45% NTSC rating explains quite a bit. Specifically — https://www.panelook.com/LP140WFH-SPP2_ ... 55418.html

I'm fine with FHD IPS... although if someone has tested a higher-resolution panel, I wouldn't mind. I don't do photography, but having decent colors and contrast would be great.

Thank you very much

The T14 AMD Gen 1 is limited to FHD (without modifications): excerpt from https://hackaday.com/2024/09/29/thinkpa ... nt-8045370

This reminds me of the delightful surprise I got with a T14 (AMD) when I looked into swapping in a higher resolution panel I had from a T490.

On the AMD T14s they leave the capacitors for half the eDP lanes unpopulated; while they are fully populated on the Intel based T14s. iGPU supports 4 lanes without trouble; and it’s a 40 pin connector in both cases; but they just had to spitefully break compatibility with higher resolution panels over what must be pennies worth of SMT capacitors.

"good old Lenovo" Loool.

Ok, FHD is enough. so lets find some decent panel.

I found this one webside: https://www.myfixguide.com/store/how-to ... nkpad-t14/

So there is option T14 Gen 1: 14" 1920x1080 IPS 400nits 72% NTSC Anti-glare Low power, thats what I am looking for, i think.

So it Is same like in PsRef. Last step Is find proper FRU...

I believe the fru is 01YN154.

Thx a lot!
