    Thinking off the top of my head, the connectors might be different, too.

    The cost to buy a replacement LCD panel and parts would come close to the cost of an entire T400.

    Sell your T61, plus the money you're gonna spend on the new screen, you shouldn't be too far off getting a T400, better do it quick though before the T61 loses its value more. :D
