    Hi all,
    I am now having to replace my T61 14.1" standard SXGA+ Panel. I found a deal on ebay for $160 (shipping included) and another one for $210 (shipping included). The $210 has the FRU part number matched the one I have now and is a Samsung one but it is a refubished product. The other one, for 40 bucks less, is a new product but it does not contain the part number. The seller did not indicated who was the manufacture although I asked the question couple days ago. I am kinda stuck right now and I need to decide quickly because school has started now and I really need to it be replaced. Please feel feel free to give me any suggestions or comments.
    Thanks.

    If the seller isn't answering your question, that doesn't seem like a good sign.

    Agree with ZaZ, but if you're willing to take the chance to try and save the $50 make sure that all of the various LCD panels available for your machine use the same LCD cable (check the parts list in the T61 hardware maintenance manual).
