Re: [Thinkpad] Thinkpad t23 LCD ribbon

The cable/plug in the rear of the screen probably disconnected/broke when the screen popped out

  I bought an IBM thinkpad t23 a few months ago and it was a great
  little toy until I dropped a heavy book on it and bent the screen. I
  opened it up, straightened out the screen and popped it in again. But
  believe it or not, about a week later I dropped another heavy book on
  it. I tried to fix the screen again but this time, when I put the
  screen back in, the screen went all white. Its getting power but its
  not getting any signal from the video card. I'm pretty sure this is
  true because I put the screen into a friends IBM it worked fine. Also,
  I can use the laptop when its hooked up with an external CRT
  monitor.... So my question is... Are my deductions correct and what
  parts would I need to fix this problem and where would I get them? or
  would it be better to just send the thing to a computer shop? I would
  like to fix it myself because it would be an interesting experience
  and it would probably cost less.
