LE1700 - Screen upgrade

Have anyone tries to fit the +SXGA screen from LE1700 to the LE1600?

 

Hello everyone,

I would like to replace my broken LE1700 screen, can some one of you send me an instruction on how to disassemble the machine? even better with pictures. Thanks

 

i asked this question >1 yr ago, and nobody knew. at least you will need a different lcd cable ...

 

Hi all!
I want to buy Hydis screen for my LE1700.
I have greenish screen so I think it's Toshiba. Can I replace my Toshiba SXGA (1400x1050) with Hydis HV121P01-101?
And how much it costs?
I've seen different offers, but the price varies from 180 to 500 dollars.
I do not know what to believe.

 

Is this Toshiba screen really so bad in the LE1700?
My LE1700 with cracked screen is on the route and i have to replace it. Thinking to put a TOS screen in cause its just for around 30U$.
The BH screens are around 250U$.

 

For example, when I create the blank document in Photoshop I see the gradient on the Toshiba screen instead of the uniform color

 

As far as i know isnt it so easy to replace the screens. The HB has a 20pin connector and the Tos 30pins.

This screen maybe for the LE1700, but it is the 20 pin.

This sounds just like the mod that ThinkPaders are doing on the X60's.

From what I remember there is someone that made a cable and someone else that made a Bios upgrade.

I test at least 20-30 of these LCD's a month.

The Bios upgrade is to stop the memory errors.

Hope this helps.

 

As far as i´ve investigated, it wont`t be easy to interchange this two LCD´s.
Cause Hydis has 1-Channel LVDS Interface and the TOS screen 2-Channel LVDS.

 

I have seen an online offer of the service manual for LE1700 for 30$.
If we have an electrical scheme of LE1700, then we can figure out were to connect those two cut wires (I have seen them on XGA LE1700 with Hydis screen too).
I found it impossible to find datasheet for the Toshiba SXGA+ 12" screens.
