i wonder to myself whether that battery had any charge. I take a break from the laptop, and when i come back to it 30 minutes later, i “wake” it from its sleeping state, it wakes, and then the whole computer just shuts off. so the bezel goes back on, screws and stickers back in place, and i sit back, feeling quite smug that i saved $400 by replacing it myself in a little over an hour. so jane held things in place at various angles as i tried to remember how everything fit back together.īefore putting the persnickety plastic bezel back on, i powered the laptop up, and voila! 1400×1050 pixels of brilliance, not one dead or cracked.
I switch out the lcd screens, and suddenly find two hands are far too few when putting something back together. this is when i realize removing the whole lcd display unit from the base of the laptop might have been prudent. 6 screws later and the whole display unit is starting to fall apart in my hands.

eventually i got the bezel off (not an easy task), and then had to figure out how to unscrew the lcd screen from the support braces that held it in place. I skipped all that and unscrewed the 11 tiny screws that held the front plastic bezel in place, which i couldn’t do without first removing the 11 small black plastic stickers on top of the screws (see image below). i found a t40-series maintenance manual online which basically said take the whole laptop apart before doing anything.
Yesterday i finally had some uninterrupted time to sit down and take my laptop apart to replace the cracked lcd panel. so i’m going to do it myself, and then probably put up the busted but working LCD panel on ebay. they also said it only takes about 15 minutes to install. After doing some research into the guts of my laptop, i discovered LCDS 4 LESS had the screen for my laptop at a much reduced though still painful cost of $495.
