This would have been an impossible task without your video. Fantastic detail on that bezel removal which was the most difficult part. Thank you, a million times over!
Very informative video. Thanks a lot for taking the time and making the effort. Would I be able to tell if my screen is using 30 or 40 pin connector without removing the screen.
Thanks, you are very kind and precise, I can ask you, if there is a difference between the panel (1920x1080) of the t470 and the t470s, and if the lcd panel of the t470s, is it seen better?
Followed this step by step and managed to replace the screen on my T470. One thing I wanted to note, I don't know if a previous shop refurbished it but you show just a couple strips of adhesive, mine had adhesive extending all the way down to the LCD board cover (that black film) which made it a real pain to get off without damaging the connector, but somehow I did manage to get it loose eventually.
The procedure for the T460 at least the one that I have just removed the panel for is different. The bezel around the perimeter where the clips are and around to the bottom of the bezel is glued to this outer rim and at the bottom is a 'reinforcing' brace that is actually part of the outer rim. It spans the bottom and has 4 holes 2 of which are used to secure the bezel assembly to the bottom of the lcd panel. I was able to access the screws by bending the bezel forward exposing the screw heads for access. But if one is not paying close damage will ensue. Because in addition the tape that normally just encases the electronics board, goes through this 'reinforcing' brace and is affixed to the lcd panel. I was able to remove this tape and extract the damaged display. Putting it back together, I'll see if I can scrounge on from another donor machine :)
You can do that, but bare in mind you will need the correct FRU if you are performing this on a T450 since the BIOS checks for the supported white list, if you put a replacement screen them the brightness control would not work under windows
I have a question (really hope someone can advise)... Quick background: My T460 screen is flickering/freezing, and to 'unfreeze' it I just have to move the screen a tiny bit. So it could be a loose connection which is what I want to check. My question: I started removing the plastic frame/bezel around the screen, but I'm concerned about the glue that's there - will I need to glue or tape anything when I re-assemble it? Or is the glue not necessary - can I just clip the plastic back in once I'm done? (Pardon the noob question here. I don't want a situation where the screen gets displaced or something because there's no glue.)
Where can I get a new panel for the t460? And approximately how much it costs. Just wanna know if it pays out to buy one with a damaged screen. Owner says it’s not broken. Just stopped working. Any advise? Tks
Thanks for the video! I'm guessing this is the correct tape? www.amazon.com/Double-Strong-Adhesive-Acrylic-Tablets/dp/B019OQ4ZG0 - Also, do you know if there's a way to separate the two parts of the bezel? Lenovo seems to sell it as a "LCD Bezel - 01AX956" as well as a "LCD Sheet 01AX958" - those two comprise the piece you took off. Do those two attach with the same tape, and can you take them apart? Thanks!
