transferred the rubber tape over to the new panel, thankfully still plenty sticky

now to clean the panel and the glass and put them together

came out pretty easy from the old panel

unlike the stories about the glass on the sxga+ panel, the xga panel's glass is only stuck around the sides with some thick adhesive, not embedded to the whole panel

i didn't kill it! but while i did clean the most egregious big spot in the middle, even with all the careful wiping and compressed air there's still a hair or two embedded in the panel heh

let's leave well enough alone and take a look at the glass now

it was, however, messed with. i'm fairly sure the person i bought this used from was trying to put it on their non-tablet X61 given it came with a LED backlight mod (which doesn't seem to be installable on the tablet) and in trying to install that they left the diffuser dirty

Show thread

i now have probably one of the last few SXGA+ X61t tablets

these panels are commonly poached and dismantled to put on non-tablet X61 so there's almost none of them left
