Great video and with a happy ending! Makes you wonder though why Lenovo did not design the laptop with a better protection for the screen cable. Love all your videos. More please! Many thanks for sharing.

The way this Thinkpad's can be disassembled....just like my normal stationary pc was the reason I bought a Thinkpad L480 for school work and I'am sooooo happy that Thinkpad

Thanks for this, had the same issue in my x240, replacing the cable worked like magic. Replacing this in x240 is even faster as you have cable right beneath the cover.

The xx50 series ThinkPads have a display whitelist that prevents aftermarket screens from working. You can either reflash the EDID on the screen itself to trick the laptop into thinking it’s a genuine display, or hunt down a genuine T450S 1080p screen.

Thank you for the video :)! I have a T470 with a similar but different screen problem. It normally starts fine, but after some time (it can be between 0,5 - a few hours) of use, it starts to flick a bit then getting darker until it becomes unresponsive. Funny thing is, if I move the screen before it stops working, I can use the mouse or keyboard, sometimes the screen goes back to normal, but sometimes it keeps flicking, so I have to restart the computer any way. Have you ever experienced this issue of a Lenovo laptop and do you think it could be the connection from the motherboard to the screen, which makes the problem? Thank you for your time!

What's really good on Thinkpads that are using Intel's 2nd Gen and up is the ability to Speed Up your Mechanical Hard Drive using MSATA.. Or you can install your Operating System on MSATA SSD and leave the Hard Drive as Local Disk

@SebisRandomTech

Agreed. At this point in time it's less worth it to get an mSATA SSD because of how much cheaper standard 2.5" SSDs are. I used to often sell systems with a 64 or 128 GB mSATA SSD and then a 500 GB hard drive, but now SSDs are cheap enough that I usually put in a 250 GB or 500 GB SSD. mSATA and 42mm M.2 drives (used in some newer ThinkPads) generally cost more per GB than a 2.5" SATA drives, since they aren't as common. For systems where I need a LOT of storage, such as my desktop (Ivy Bridge let's goo!), I still use the mSATA SSD/SATA HDD combo.

It would be best to get things checked out sooner rather than later, if your model is the same as this one then it shouldn't be too difficult to repair it yourself. You just need a small Phillips screwdriver and a replacement cable (if the cable is the problem). If you absolutely can't get it repaired then you may be able to continue using it, cautiously, until you can get it repaired.

Does the computer flicker when its closed and plugged into a display over VGA ? I am having a weird problem my backlight is out , if I shine a flashlight I can see the machine booted and went to the login splash. When I connect to a VGA monitor it shows the screen as black no signal. Then my other machine displays verical lines in all colors with artifacts within the lines, alien looking letters. This one is a Dell machine but I figured you may have had this problem with all the laptops you change hands with its plausible. I cant find this problem ANYWHERE , its a Dell Latitude D600 but I collect laptops from all eras as long as they're in new condition. This computer looks like it just came out of a store, I thought it may have been an incompatibility with the RAM the person who owned tried upgrading before giving it away because it 'wasnt't working' .

Hi, I recently experienced this problem happening to my Lenovo Ideapad 3 that I recently purchased a while ago. If I run specific apps, my computer crashes and keeps on flickering(Making noises). It also increases my pc's temperature. Sometimes it just goes into BSOD and forces me to restart. I have tried everything I could and nothing seems to help.

There's a lot of different things there that could be the problem. When it comes to temperature, make sure your fans/vents are clean and the thermal paste is still effective. If certain programs are causing you issues, try reinstalling those programs or updating your drivers. Try making a live Linux USB drive, boot into it, and see if you still have issues there. From there we might be able to narrow things down.

So it could be a loose connection which is what I want to check. My question: I started removing the plastic frame/bezel around the screen, but I'm concerned about the glue that's there - will I need to glue or tape anything when I re-assemble it? Or is the glue not necessary - can I just clip the plastic back in once I'm done? (Pardon the noob question here. I don't want a situation where the screen gets displaced or something because there's no glue.)
