IBM Thinkpad 1024x768 TFT LCD Panel

I have an IBM Thinkpad A30 2652-44U - works great - except it only offers me the default monitor - how do I access the TFT LCD Panel - if I go into Display...settings...advanced....monitor...the LCD is listed but not highlighted ....just the default monitor....my graphics card is the ATI Radeon Mobility - not sure beyond that..if I knew I could possibly upgrade the drivers - Are there drivers for the monitor? If so, where does one download them - many thanks for all help

  • IBM thinkpad T41 model 2373-72A drivers

    I reformat my laptopn but I forgot that I lost my cd driver, now im looking everywhere but cant find its the driver for my ethernet, audio, wireless, vga and an unknown device. Can someone give me the correct drivers for my laptop? Please help me I need to finish this for my project.

    Hello,
    Are you certain the ThinkPad is a T41?  I did a search on "2373-72A" on Lenovo's support web site, and came up with the following configuration:
    ThinkPad T40 (2373-72A) P M 1.5GHz, 256MB RAM, 40GB 5400rpm HDD, 14.1 XGA(1024x768) TFT LCD, 32MB ATI Radeon 7500, 16x10x24x/8x CD-RW/DVD(slim), Modem(CDC), 1Gb Ethernet(LOM), Intel 802.11b Wireless(MPCI), Secure Chip(TCPA), UltraNav, 6 cell battery, WinXP Pro
    In any case, here are the drivers for both model generations:
    ThinkPad T40, T40p
    ThinkPad T41, T41p
    Don't forget to install all of the latest updates for Microsoft Windows after you have finished installing the drivers.

  • NI PCI-1424 used to grab TFT LCD Signals

    Can the NI  PCI-1424  parallel digital frame grabber be used
    to capture the an image from the siganal used to drive standard TFT LCD
    panels?  The LCD panel that I have has 6 digital bits per RGB, a
    vertical and horizontal sync, and a pixel clock at 40Mhz.  I want
    to use this to automate the testing of the LCD driver signals. 
    Currenly we have a person verify the image on the LCD screen.

    Hello niklander,
    While the NI PCI-1424 card does support RS422, TTL, and LVDS standard video formats, it can only support a pixel clock rate up to 50 MHz.  National Instruments does not currently manufacture any Vision hardware that supports TTL or SVDS standard video formats and pixel clock rates greater than 50 MHz.  For more information on our Vision hardware products, please browse the NI Vision Hardware website.
    National Instruments does, however, produce a line of high-speed LVDS Digital Instruments that can support maximum clock rates up to 200 MHz.  You may want to consider one of these high-speed instruments, but please keep in mind that this high-speed product line is not designed for Vision applications.  If you choose to try an NI high-speed LVDS Digital Instrument, you may face significant development challenges when architecting your application.

  • IBM Thinkpad T30 lcd panel..replacement in due?

    My lcd display panel is blurry (i.e. brightness level is not as expected though pressing Ctrl+Home)...
    Maybe should entire unit be replaced?  In this case, how to locate  the correct version as (2) types, XGA  and SXGA are
    available..
    Where can i find panel FRU number?
    If you fool me once, shame on you...
    If you fool me twice, shame on me!

    Welcome to the forum!
    A couple of things come to mind here:
    a) Go into BIOS>Configuration>Display and make sure it's set on "high". Press F10 to save and exit.
    b) Is the LCD slightly reddish/pinkish on initial boot? If yes, your backlight is dying and need to be replaced. Most people prefer to replace the whole LCD panel, though.
    c) If your LCD is not red or pink on boot, your inverter may be on its way out. Replacing it is a cheap and easy job, and that's where I would begin.
    All the FRU numbers and instructions on "how to" can be found in the HMM that can be downloaded here:

  • ThinkPad X201 LCD Panel replacement issue

    Hi,
    i have recently sent my x201 to lenovo service and they have replaced the LCD Panel
    installed FRU was 42T0711 and replaced one is 42T0709
    screen is very flexy and between bezel and the panel i can see backlights. is that normal?

    No. I just got two of my X201 on my side and none of them have a gap in the bezels. And one of these two was a guinea pig for a panel swap so I ended removing and re-installing the bezel too many times. Still sits perfectly flat and with no flex or gap at all:

  • Some LCD panel info

    Hello all,
    Like quite a few people on this forum, I recently purchased a new MB 13" aluminum and have been very disappointed in the quality of the LCD panel. In particular, I feel like the viewing angle on this display is significantly worse than my old Thinkpad X41 tablet, which is going on 4 years old. So, I went in search of some technical information, which I figured I would share...
    There are three main technologies for TFT (thin-film transistor, or "active matrix") LCD panels. Twisted Nematic (TN) is the most popular type of panel because it's cheap to manufacture and has very fast response times. However, image quality on the TN panels is the worst of the three technologies. In Plane Switching (IPS, S-IPS) is the best quality panel, but is expensive to manufacture and has relatively slow response times. Vertical Alignment (VA, PVA, MVA) is a mid-range technology, somewhere between the cost of TN and quality of IPS.
    This site provides a very nice explanation of the pros and cons of the three technologies:
    http://www.pchardwarehelp.com/guides/lcd-panel-types.php
    The vast majority of displays (notebooks and desktops) use TN panels because it keeps costs down and because the fast response times are better for games and movies. This trend was probably reinforced by the explosion of LCD televisions: for TVs, good response time is critical and vertical viewing angle is totally irrelevant.
    There seems to be a consensus that all three lines of MacBooks use TN panels, but possibly with different levels of quality. I could not find much information on what causes quality to vary between panels that use the same technology (i.e., why is one TN panel better than another.)
    Most IPS panels go into high-end displays, such as the Apple 30" Cinema display, for applications where image quality is crucial. It turns out -- and I did not know this at the time -- my old Thinkpad X41 is one of the few notebooks ever made with an IPS panel. I suspect they chose this panel because a tablet PC must be reasonably readable from a wide variety of angles (for example, laying flat on a desk), or it's useless.
    So, maybe we just have to wait for a MacBook Tablet...Jobs, are you reading this?

    SZGuy, nice digest of LCD info. You had me with every point except the one about viewing angle being irrelevant on a television. How so? When a family sits distributed around a room, all are entitled to a good view of the telly.
    Every TV of at least 32" or larger uses a wide viewing angle technology panel. IPS and PVA are still hugely important in television and I don't see that changing soon. In fact, it is TN that is irrelevant in the world of TV.

  • TrueColor Frambuffer on a IBM ThinkPad X23 w/ AIT Mobility M6 LY

    I am building a framebuffer-only system that supports video playback on my 8-year-old IBM ThinkPad X23.
    For video playback, I would need my framebuffer to have color depth of at least 16 bit. (I think)
    But I am running out of ideas as to how to do that.
    So far I am able to achieve this:
    - my logs indicate that:
    /* /var/log/everything.log */
    vesafb: mode is 1024x768x32, linelength=4069, pages=1
    so i think i am able to get 32 bit color depth.
    - but later on in the log:
    /* /var/log/everything.log */
    [drm] Panel Size 1024x768
    [drm] fb depth is 8
    this got me quite confused.
    - after it boots, if i execute "fbset -i" as root, i get:
    mode "1024x768"
    geometry 1024 768 1024 768 8
    endmode
    Frame buffer device information:
    Name: radeondrmfb
    Type: PACKED PIXELS
    Visual: PSEUDOCOLOR
    Accelerator: No
    - lastly, if i execute "vbetest" i do get the option of:
    [291] 1024x768 (8:8:8)
    which I understand means 24/32 bit color depth.
    I am guessing the "pseudocolor" means that my framebuffer cannot go higher than 8 bit color depth. But I am totally a newb in this area so correct me if I'm wrong.
    Please let me know if you need any other logs/information
    Thank you so much in advance.
    Edit: one more thing to add. when I use vbetest to test the mode above (1024x768 (8:8:8)), the screen seems to be displaying the full color spectrum...

  • R50p LCD panel compatible with a T42p?

    I found a cheap R50p (1833-BU4) and I noticed it has the same 15" UXGA LCD panel number as my T42p (2373-Q1G) = 92P6683
    I wanted to get it; to have some kind of backup on the LCD panel for my T42p, and it would be a lot cheaper instead of buying such lcd panel off ebay or some webshop.
    My question is, can the panel from the R50p be swapped into the T42p without much problems? Would it fit the lid? Are any of the the cable/connectors mabe different?

  • The manufacture date of T400 WXGA TFT LCD monitor

    I ordered my new T400 in October, 2009, and recived almost three weeks later. Definitely, it took longer time than they promised me. Whatever, I got the laptop, finally.
    Now I have a question about the monitor. I used a software named EVEREST 5.30 (http://www.lavalys.com) to check the information of the hardware. Everything is okay except the monitor. It says the manufacture date is 45th week in 2006? Can you believe it, a monitor, potentially, made three years  ago for my new laptop???
    I called lenovo, and they told me the LCD factory is probably using the same date for all monitors of this kind no matter when they're made. Can you believe it?
    They didn't have such complain before. If I can find different case for T400 with same kind monitor, they will accept my complain. Am I responsible to prove that or lenovo's?
    Anyway, we can do that, right? Hey, all T400 people, it's time to show our power! What's your manufacture date of the WXGA TFT LCD monitor? I will appreciated if you can post your LCD manufacture data as well as when you bought you laptop!  Many thanks to everyone.

    My point is that even if the LCD sat for 15 years if it wasn't in use it wouldn't be prone to any more failures then one which is only a year from manufacture with the same amount of hours on it. 
    Though I don't have intimate knowledge of every laptop which Lenovo has manufactured but I have personally swapped a T61 15.4in widescreen into a T500 15.4in.
    It is probable what they are saying is that your laptop screen could not be that old because it is improable one would be in storage for that length.
    bosomfriend wrote:
    What you said could be true.
    However, I don't think customers prefer a LCD made several years ago, even the quility may be better.  I have only one-year warranty, who knows what will happen after that.
    BTW, the "old" LCD I mentioned doesn't mean a used one.

  • Traditional TFT LCD of the N900 and the new SLCD !

    Can anyone here explain me is S-LCD the next generation of the TFT LCD does it offer a dramatic improvement in display ( I am not really looking out for a very technical explanation just need to know from a user perspective) is it great fun watching in SLCD compared to the traditional TFT LCD display that the N900 has. if yes, How much the difference between the TFT LCD of the N900 and SLCD would be ?

    @CP...
    such a nice post...needs to be said again without needing to re-finger it in!    +1 m8..
    cpitchford wrote:I meant it's not the right place to ask as there are other forums that seem to specialise in talking about LCD panels
    So I really dont know what you mean when you say the resolution is the same between OLED and SLCD...It is not the same
    Huh??
    OLED and SLCD do not define resolution.. you're wrong for thinking that.. They are types of displays.. OLED is not fixed to 800x480, SLCD is not fixed to 960x640.. Its like saying diesel engines are 2liter where as petrol engines are 1.5....
    OK.. The HTC Desire (and google Nexus one) originally shipped with OLED displays..
    Due to shortages of OLED panels, HTC decided to change the display type to the more commonly available LCD.. Now HTC Desires are LCD..
    However..
    The resolution is exactly the same.. they are both still 800x480.. The type of screen does NOT dictate the resolution of the screen..
    You could have a crud low resoltion 640x360 OLED screen on the Nokia N8, and a high res 800x480 LCD screen on the N900.. both are 3.5" screens!
    As for the difference in visual quality of OLED and LCD:
    OLED screens are tiny light bulbs.. each pixel produces its own light (actually multiple red, green blue lights per pixel)
    LCD, however works using filters.. There is a white light  behind the screen, and the LCD lets some of the light through coloured "holes".. That is the MAIN difference between LCD and OLED..
    All OLED displays work like this and all LCD displays work like this..
    So, because it is easier to make a filter of a certain colour, LCD screens can often produce more realistic colours..
    OLED displays however, have the ability to go completely dark.. Look a black screen on a LCD display (like your phone) it still glows.. thats because the LCD cannot filter out ALL of the white back light.. it just filters out most..
    OLEDs, however, when they are black they are OFF meaning they produce ZERO light!!
    LCDs range from blight to dim.. whereas OLED range from even brighter to totally black..
    This is called the contrast ratio..
    It also might mean OLED displays seem "saturated" the colours are too vibrant..
    Now, that's OLED v LCD
    Going back to your question in your second post..
    The Desire PS IPS LCD display (that's the S-LCD display if you want a brand name) is technically a lower definition because the pixels are larger when compared to the N900..
    The colour reproduction (how accurate the colours are) and the contrast ratios however will be BETTER than the N900 because the Desire can display 16Million colours rather than 65thousand.. and the LCD technology is a generation newer than that used in the N900...
    The N900 screen, although high resolution for its size, is fairly old tech..

  • Use Higer Res LCD-Panel in Portege R200

    I just bought a Portege R200 with a broken LCD.
    I have a spare LCD that I intend to use but I was thinking is possible to use a XGA+, SXGA or even a SXGA+ as the M400 has?
    I know M200 and M400 is a tablet but what I understad they have the same measurement in screen size.
    Does anyone know if there is any other laptop model that I could use?
    Thanks

    Hi
    As Im not mistaken the R200 was equipped with a 12.1" (1024x768) TFT colour Poly Silicon display. Its a TOSHIBA display LTM12C328
    The m200 was delivered with 12.1" TFT color LCD Poly-Silicon (LTD121KM1K) display too.
    But it supports a higher resolution 1400x1050.
    In my opinion you should be able to use such display in the R200 too.

  • Z61m: LCD panel replacement (WSXGA+ to WUXGA)

    I own ThinkPad Z61m (Type 9450-HAG). Unfortunately the LCD panel does not work any more (only top third of display works).
    I consider replacing of the LCD panel (WSXGA+, FRU no.: 13N7020).
    Is it possible to replace the original panel with WUXGA panel - 13N7198 or 13N7178?
    If it is possible, is it enough just to exchange the panels or it is also needed to replace other parts of notebook and/or upgrade BIOS or other software?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    It should work no problems. In fact, you could probably use your old inverter. CCFL backlit LCD screens use a two pin connector from the inverter to the LCD. This connector is the same accross most if not all manufacturers.
    I tried replacing a 15.4" WXGA LED backlit LCD with a WXGA+ CCFL backlit LCD. Now you might ask yourself, can I convert to LED backlit LCD. While it may be possible, I don't want to say yes just yet. Anyways, what I had to do is disassemble the LCD and remove the screen. I disassembled the original WXGA LCD and replaced it with the WXGA+ LCD. Too bad it didn't work. It wasn't because I had damaged it. The LCD originally didn't work. It had an awful display. I just wanted to know if it was possible.
    The conclusion is that these parts are quite interchangeable. CCFL backlit LCDs generally use the same connectors for both the backlight and display. I am not sure about LED backlit LCDs, but it would be understandable that the manufacturers maintain some kind of uniformity. After all, they produce these LCDs for all the laptop manufacturers.
