LCD transplant
My T20 has having serious power issues, and the T23 had a faint screen problem, so I attempted a monitor transplant to create one working Frankenlaptop.
The process was fast, and was done with a small screwdriver I had around, and involved removing seven screws on each laptop.
Plastic stickers cover each screw to make the laptop case look smooth and beautiful. They didn't survive.
The transplant was successful in the sense that things fit back together, but not in the sense that the problem with the T23 was solved. The screen still took a long time to "warm up" even after the LCD and the inverter were placed! The T23 has been mailed away for repair or replacement now.
On the upside, I'm no longer afraid to attempt an LCD replacement in a laptop now!
