Lenovo ThinkPad T460 LCD Panel Replacement

Introducción

Use this guide to replace the display panel on your Lenovo ThinkPad T460.

The display panel, also known as a screen, is the component that outputs visual information from a computer.

Some signs your display panel may be faulty include a blank or black screen, flickering, no backlight, or horizontal or vertical lines. These symptoms may also indicate that the LCD cable is faulty, rather than the display itself.

The display panel replacement may be needed if it is cracked or physically damaged. Before attempting a display panel replacement, you may be able to resolve the issue using Lenovo’s troubleshooting guide.

Before replacing your display panel, make sure to disable the internal battery, power down your device, and disconnect from any external power sources.
