Replacing screens on newer ThinkPads.

Video Description

Hello all! Here's a shorter video about replacing the displays in newer ThinkPads (generally xx40 and newer) that I have put together for you. Hopefully it can be of use for some of you! Enjoy and thanks for watching! Models this process applies for (to my knowledge, I will update if needed): *DOES NOT* apply for any of the glass touch screen versions (T440s touch, etc) X230s X240s* T440 T440s T450* T450s* T460 T460s T470/A475 T470s ThinkPad 25 X280/A285 T480/A485 T480s T580 P52s X390/395 T490/495 T490s/495s T590 P43s P53s T14 T14s T15 P1 (all generations) X1 Carbon (2nd generation onward) X1 Extreme (all generations) *The xx50 generation of ThinkPads, as well as the X240, have a display whitelist that makes aftermarket replacements only run at maximum brightness if you use Windows. If you use Linux, flash the replacement screen’s EDID to trick the ThinkPad into thinking it’s a genuine xx50 panel, or flash a custom/unlocked BIOS onto the laptop, this issue can be fixed. Thankfully Lenovo realized their mistake, so the xx50 generation is the only one to have this pointless restriction.
