Thank you for this review. I'm new to the Thinkpad world. Just recently purchased my 1st ever ThinkPad T440 and I am loving it. Have been going through and doing all the upgrades you can possibly do to make this the beast of a machine that I know it can be. Since purchasing the laptop 2 weeks ago I have increased to 8GB Crucial RAM, purchased the internal battery (might just had the plastic filler as well), completed the FHD IPS Samsung screen (LTN140HL02-201) found on Ebay for $29.00 shipped to my house, and done the trackpad upgrade to the T450 trackpad but still having driver issues and can't get the trackpoint buttons working yet. Got advice on one of the forums regarding this and ordered a different trackpad and going to see what happens. Only thing left is I think I am going to upgrade the i5 to an i7 and for the couple hundred dollars that I am going to have into purchasing and upgrading this laptop that is going to last forever I couldn't be happier. Thanks for you video detailing this process and providing the information needed for a fellow ThinkPad'er to upgrade as well!
Would you share your experience after 6 months of using it? I've just ordered my very first T440p, planning on upgrading the RAM and adding a SSD (replacing the optical drive). The next step should be to upgrade to i7. Did you notice any major difference or the i5 should do just fine?
Unfortunately, you'll find that you cannot easily upgrade the processor, since it's soldered to the motherboard in the T440. (Unless you're pretty adept with SMD rework and a donor motherboard/CPU. Unfortunately, it's too complex of a job to be the one to learn on.) The T440P is the only one in the series with a socketed CPU (and I believe it was also the last ever T-series ThinkPad to have a socketed CPU at all.) As a side note, I've never understood the hate for the T440 trackpad, except for users who primarily use the Trackpoint (in which case the physical buttons are definitely preferable). I find its clicking mechanism to be perfectly comfortable for touchpad use, where physical buttons have no real purpose.
make sure you don't have an internal battery... if you don't know, it won't hurt to disable it in bios before proceeding with your upgrades. it's a very good advice to those who don't know about it. @readborgesnow
I have a t440 with a internal battery. Do you know if I upgrade the screen will the internal battery still need to be turned off ?because that would decide weather or not I upgrade it.
@@pata7355 I am truly baffled as to would possibly be a deciding factor. It takes under 30 seconds. 1) Press Enter after turning on the computer to enter the BIOS*. 2) Press the RIGHT arrow key once to switch to the "power" tab. 3) Press the DOWN arrow key to select "Disable internal battery." 4) Press the ENTER key. 5) You're done. Honestly, if you're not comfortable with pressing a few keyboard keys to do this, you don't have any business replacing the screen.
Nice video! How is the colour reproduction? Do you think it's suitable for photo editing? I have an old Lenovo ThinkPad e430 and its display is outright pathetic when it comes to colours and contrast. I'm willing to change its display. But unsure which one it will accept (probably only LVDS panels will work with it, but I haven't done much research yet). Can you help me with that? The one you used is eDP, I understand...
I have no way of testing color reproduction, but all I can say is that the colors look much better than they would on a TN display. Blacks are much darker and colors do no have that washed out look to them, no to mention the much better viewing angle. I am not 100% sure about the E430, but if it's anything like my T430, it will probably only accept LVDS panels. There have been some efforts made by the Chinese ThinkPad modding community in order to produce an LVDS - to - eDP conversion kit in order to install IPS displays, but unfortunately those kits only exist for the T430s, T420s and X230.
I just bought a used pristine T440 with 4GB/500GB at $194 on gumtree and I'm getting a FHD display for it (if it's compatible) for $41 and maybe also I'll add 4GB RAM to upgrade it to 8GB RAM for $35, I guess it's worth it.. I'm in the UK..
ebay. Searching online for the compatible 1080p IPS display but the sellers don't provide the original just provide display that they say "performs like". But finally I didn't buy and try to install it. Just keeping only the 1366x768 TN display in it for now.
looks fantastic! can you maybe tell me how to find screen specs? I've only found out that my T440 screen is a LEN40A0 - but does that mean that i can also replace it with the LTN140HL02? And can you tell me if you used the the LTN140HL02-201 or the LTN140HL02-D01? Thanks man!
thanks for the reply my friend. Ok i think i'm a bit too nooby for this, but my main problem ist that i really dont know what display is currently in my t440. but for knowing which display i could possibly replace with my (btw really bad looking) LEN40A0 display i first have to really be sure what could fit in it, right?

I just did some research about that Samsung panel, its only a 262k color screen aka 18-bit while the AUO panels are 24-bit 16M colors. www.panelook.com/LTN140HL02-201_Samsung_14.0_LCM_overview_27069.html
i thought this model ( T440 ) doesnt have FHD panel compatible, but after seeing your video, ill try to find out in my country if available, after replace the touchpad with T450 touchpad of course. LOL.
Awesome! Would you be worry about a case that the new screen causes your laptop to overheat due to more processing power required to push out the additional pixels, the cable might not be compatible, or your laptop simply cannot handle additional load required? I also want to do it but little worried
I've been using this laptop for ~4 months now, almost daily, (either built in screen or external 1080p monitor via docking station) and have had no problems with it at all. I will say that there was a very slight increase in average temperatures when I had first put the screen in, I'd say about +/- 5C or so, but otherwise, it's been fine.
One more thing, some screen sellers said that I might need another screen cable, too. Because HD screen requires a cable, while FHD screen needs two cables. But your video seems it does not matter of this case, isn't it?
I went directly from 1366 * 768 to 1920 * 1080 without any replacement cable. The LG display my T440 came with was a two-lane display (some "HD" screens are one-lane, though) and the Samsung display I received was also two-lane, so the cable did not require replacement.
Oh, I got it! I need to look at what type of screen is sitting in my laptop. Shoot, I missed that point. Really appreciate your answer. Should I buy a double sided tape to put the plastic bezel back on the screen?
I used panelook.com to find screen specifications. For me, I used the adhesive left over from the bezel, it seemed to stick, except for one area, It's your call, but it's not required.
Interesting. I was lead to believe you needed to change over the cable when moving from HD to FHD display. It also has to be compatible with the whitelist. Who'd you buy it from in Canada?
Robert Drake You don’t need to change the cable in order to change the display on the T440 and later. Only on the older machines that used the LVDS standard it was the case, but the new eDP standard allows for the cables to be (almost) universal. Also, the 40-series machines do not have a whitelist, only the later machines do. I bought the display from an eBay branch of laptopscreen.com that ships from Vancouver.
Hola muy interesante tu video! Tengo un ideapad 330 de lenovo, y trae una pantalla FHD de 6 bits, y creo que es LCD porque la calidad de los colores es muy mala, y me gustaría cambiarlo por un panel de IPS con la misma resolución, ya que Lo utiliza para la edición de vídeo. ¿Puedes decirme si es factible? ¿Y qué debo tener en cuenta para comprar un nuevo panel que sea compatible? Muchas gracias, saludos desde Argentina.
Yep, and it's actually a much more popular choice than the Samsung. The AUO B140HAN01.1 is a great choice, as well. Some users seem to prefer the AUO to the LG, but in my experience, they're essentially equal with regards to quality.
Hello. Great work. I would like to do the same. Which display have you before. I am not sure I can replace my 1600x900 LCD with this FHD. Please give the model od LCD you used. I need search for it in Europe or China.
Thanks for the video! Any chance you could provide a link to the place where you bought your screen? looking forward to update my T440 (no p no s) to a higher res... thanks++
I bought my screen through an eBay branch of laptopscreen.com (I would strongly suggest that you avoid them, as they may not ship you the correct screen, but a "compatible model" ) www.ebay.ca/itm/LTN140HL02-fits-LP140WF1-SP-B1-LP140WF6-SP-B1-B140HAN02-1-New-LCD-Screen-/272412648123?hash=item3f6d0f22bb:g:XPQAAOSwpLNYABjK
@@KSLTech4 thanks. I should've added this: My t440 had a matte screen and the display looked terrible. So - I associate the quality with the fact that it was matte. But you're saying that this display looks great, right? I might be ok with matte provided it's a big imporovement from the OEM T440 screen.
I'm about to do the same thing. My original was a matte display and it looked dull. Bad. Then I struggled with what to order - b/c everyone was 'upgrading' and the screens were still 'matte'. I think the matte will be fine. it's just that we're equating the 'matte' being the problem with the original screen.
Hi, is any AUO screen among B140HAN01.1, 1.2 and 1.3 okay to T440 (in terms of the brightness control or FRU)? Some sellers on ebay told me they do not recommend me to upgrade screen because some screens may need modificantion. My current screean is B140XTN02.A. Is it a problem? Thank you!
Zhichao Zhang The AUO screens you mentioned should all work on the T440 series. They are considered to be the best displays for an FHD IPS upgrade, due to their wide color gamut.
Thanks a lot! Could you recommend somewhere to buy the screen? I am in the UK. Some sellers on ebay do not want to sell me those screens due to the reason I mentioned, and some of them says they do not have them available.
Zhichao Zhang Yeah, that’s always the tough part, as there’s no guarantee that you will get the exact model of the screen that you ordered, not a “compatible model”. I bought my display from a local seller on eBay, and I had to exchange it once before I got the display which I installed in the video. I live in Canada, so the information of the seller may not be relevant to your location. If there is such a thing as a UK branch of laptopscreen.com, I would highly recommend it.
@@s1201 No problem! I used the AUO one, personally, and am very happy with it. It and the LG seem the most common for people to use--I haven't seen as many people go for the Samsung. I'd just pick whichever is cheapest/easiest for you.
Hello, I want to upgrade my own t440 but why did you decide to take the Fhd pls screen from Samsung? There is an option from auo b140han1... or one from LC? Is Samsung the best choice?
TheYuenRevan I primarily bought it for its rather inexpensive price, and the fact that it was available in my country (rather than being shipped from China). If you have the option, I would go for the AUO models, as they have a better color gamut.
Hello! I would also like to replace HD display with FHD display. Is this appropriate for this purpose? Samsung LTN140HL02-201 New Replacement LCD Screen for Laptop LED Full HD Matte Thanks for your help.
Great video. Just upgraded hdd to crucial ssd and 4gb to 8gb of of Ram. Snagged a larger battery too. You’ve inspired me to swap out the screen. Is your screen still working in 2019? Any news?
ChillBro Baggins I still have the machine, and the screen is still in perfect working order. The machine doesn’t get much use nowadays though, since my primary laptop is a 15” Retina MacBook Pro.
Are u absolutely sure you're panel wasn't 1600 x 900 previously? I say this because on ebay ads for these ips panels they state - "Please, make sure you have the same screen resolution, or replacement will not work. HD screen (1366x768) uses one channel video cable, while HD+ (1600x900) and Full HD (1920x1080) use 2-channels video cable, thus they are not compatible." Not calling u a liar :) just wanna make sure so i don't waste my money..
Technically it can, as the machines are similar physically. But, if you're running Windows, you will run into problems with the brightness controls (Unless you order an official Lenovo-FRU'ed display panel) as there seems to be a compatibility problem with the Video-BIOS driver in Windows with a third-party panel. If you run Linux, however, you will not have any problems, as Linux uses open-source drivers.
Reading the comments I think it could work, but I am a full amateur and I want to be 100% sure I buy the right screen. I broke my 1600x900 screen of my t440s and I think I can upgrade it with this screen. www.replacedirect.nl/product/p0161262/140-inch-lcd-scherm-1920x1080-mat-30pin-edp-ips.html?subid=101038&prrel=9459929 Would this work? And I think I read that t440s would have not issues with the brightness settings? Hope some people here can confirm that this screen would work. Thanks in advance!
The issue with a lot of these screen sites are that you really don’t know which screen they will send you, other than it having the mentioned specifications. AFAIK any 30-pin eDP display will work in the 40-series without issue. T440 and T440s are basically identical so what applies to one should also apply to the other.

make sure, you go to BIOS --> Power --> Internal Battery OFF
The computer didn't have an internal battery installed, just a plastic plate where it should have been.

Samsung LTN140HL02-201 New Replacement LCD Screen for Laptop LED Full HD Matte
Thanks for your help.
JÓZSEF MIHÁLY Yes. Any 30-pin eDP display would work with this machine.
Welcome!
And Lenovo's HD + resolution is not the right choice?
What's the difference between FULL HD and HD +?
Thanks
JÓZSEF MIHÁLY FHD is 1920 x 1080, whereas HD+ is 1600 x 900. Also, I do not know of an HD+ IPS display to exist.
I've got the same set of precision screwdrivers :D
me too
did you actually change anything in the bios?
Is the t440p a 30 pin connector?
Hello!
I installed the FULL HD display, but no backlight?
Pale, almost invisible. What could be the problem?
Thanks.
You may have blown the backlight fuse on your system board
KSLTech Studios Thanks! Where do I find it on the motherboard? Would you send a photo of it? Thank you! 🤓
@@jozsefmihaly9381 You'll have to toss the board. The fuse is soldered to it. Never replace a screen when the batteries are connected.
Tell me, version with Full HD panel is it IPS or TN? Thx a lot
The panel I bought was IPS
Great video. Just upgraded hdd to crucial ssd and 4gb to 8gb of of Ram. Snagged a larger battery too.
You’ve inspired me to swap out the screen.
Is your screen still working in 2019? Any news?
ChillBro Baggins I still have the machine, and the screen is still in perfect working order. The machine doesn’t get much use nowadays though, since my primary laptop is a 15” Retina MacBook Pro.
may i know the model number of your old screen ?
Even Brightness works.
Was this a Matte or Glossy finish screen?
i just bought this screen for my t440 so far has the screen been good?, does the screen put a load on the memory or cpu?
Farhad Mirza A little bit, but it's not noticeable.
Is this the b01 or 201?
does this display work on t440s?
Yep
Are u absolutely sure you're panel wasn't 1600 x 900 previously? I say this because on ebay ads for these ips panels they state - "Please, make sure you have the same screen resolution, or replacement will not work. HD screen (1366x768) uses one channel video cable, while HD+ (1600x900) and Full HD (1920x1080) use 2-channels video cable, thus they are not compatible." Not calling u a liar :) just wanna make sure so i don't waste my money..
eViL jEsuS The panel was 1366 x 768
thnx alot for the quick reply!
does everything still work fine?
Yes, everything is in complete working order. The machine starts up flawlessly, and screen brightness controls work.
May this works in a T430?
You will need a converter kit to have such a display work on the T430 or earlier models.
Hi is there something we can do to fix brightness control issue ?
oliviaribka You will not have those issues on a 40-series machine.
what is the fru's LCD you used?
Mohammad Sholihul Nizar It was not an official Lenovo display
Where you order your screen?
how many pins are? 40 or 30
julio corona The laptop supports 30 pin eDP displays.
can this be done on a 450?
Technically it can, as the machines are similar physically. But, if you're running Windows, you will run into problems with the brightness controls (Unless you order an official Lenovo-FRU'ed display panel) as there seems to be a compatibility problem with the Video-BIOS driver in Windows with a third-party panel. If you run Linux, however, you will not have any problems, as Linux uses open-source drivers.
but I saw your video, no brightness control issues, isn't it ?
Michael Yahya I do not have any brightness control issues because I have a T440, not a T450, as OP was mentioning above.
Reading the comments I think it could work, but I am a full amateur and I want to be 100% sure I buy the right screen.
I broke my 1600x900 screen of my t440s and I think I can upgrade it with this screen.

Would this work? And I think I read that t440s would have not issues with the brightness settings?
Hope some people here can confirm that this screen would work.
Thanks in advance!
The issue with a lot of these screen sites are that you really don’t know which screen they will send you, other than it having the mentioned specifications. AFAIK any 30-pin eDP display will work in the 40-series without issue. T440 and T440s are basically identical so what applies to one should also apply to the other.
Can you give me? Please 🙏
will this also work with the T430?
Not exactly, as the T430 does not use eDP. You will need some sort of convertor to be able to use an eDP display with a T430 or earlier
How about t450? Is it work?
