Hey guys, its been awhile since ive been on here lol, which is kinda a good thing because I haven't been having any issues with my computers. Well, until now. I recently grabbed my T420 Thinkpad that I haven't powered up in 5 months and was going to use it. I open it up and lo and behold theres a crack going across the screen and a giant black blotch going along with that crack.... so yeah I need a new screen.. is it pretty straight forward swapping out a screen on these? My dad has 2 L420s sitting at his place and I can use one for parts if I wished... just wondering if their parts compatible. Thank guys.

Can confirm, maybe have fried a MacBook screen or two in my day.

He said his dad had two L420s at his house to use for parts though.
So he does, missed that.
No offense bud but your way off here. The laptop works flawlessly has a ssd an i love it for traveling an doing what i do.
My main real question was if i could source the l420 screen in my t420...
I can tell you right now that the screen connector for each screen is in a different spot. And you'll need the right screen resolution as the T series can have either 1366x768 or 1600x900 while the L series will only have 1366x768 and they are made differently. See images.
