What have you done to improve the original display and battery options? I had an SXGA+ modded x61s but it was still awful dim and the lack of new OEM replacement battery options sucked.
- IntelMiner 8y agoI chanced across an article that I cannot seem to find anymore unfortunately Someone had heavily modded an "original" display to fix the 50hz interpolation issues as well as kicking the brightness up
- newnewpdro 8y agoSo you're still using the original CCFL XGA screen? Yuck.
- 1996 8y agoThe mod is led backlighting, and you can use the higher res screen panel for that.
- newnewpdro 8y agoI've done the LED mod to an SXGA+ BOEHYDIS HV121P01-10* display. The results were mediocre at best. Color temp was off, LED pattern visible at the bottom edge, non-uniform brightness. The main advantage I found was the improved battery life, then the increased brightness though the colors were wrong. It's really disappointing there are still no modern 4:3 panels suitable for swapping into an X62.
