On March 26, 2025, I have finalized the T430s display upgrade. This will be a short post since most of the work was already done and covered in the original T430s Display Upgrade blog post.
Though completed a while ago, I decided to finally release this blog post alongside the Week 14, 2025 blog post and MediaCow Touch 2 - Part 16 blog post.
The Display
I eventually went with the N140HCA-ELK as I could get hold of one quickly and reliably. The panel itself is recent, with the date code stating it was made on February 9, 2023.
This time, it was not possible to have the display not held in by anything. On the same day, I received a pack of double sided tape that have pull-tabs so I was able to stick the display into place.
I did not get the display aligned perfectly and there is not much I can do about it without having to use another set of adhesive.
Conclusion
Now, I can start using the T430s again without getting eye strain immediately. I pulled the Micron Crucial MX500 SSD out of the T450s and put it into the T430s.
Starting March 27, 2025, the system is now in rotation with laptops that I use at college, which was the original idea in doing all of this.
