Satellite Pro P100 - Display Upgrade 1440x900 to 1680x1050
Posted: 07-Jul-2012 00:18

Hi there,

i have a defective Panel in my Satellite Pro P100. Model Nr: PSPAHE-001001GR.
Currently its a Panel Lp171wx2 with 1440x900 Resolution.

Can i change it to this Panel: LP171W02 with 1680x1050 Resolution?
Will it be recognized, kind of Plug and Play? Better resolution and running like before. Or is this not recommend or even not possible?

Thanks a lot in Advance,
schwieger

Hi

I think its possible.
As far as I know the different Satellite P100 models were equipped with two kind of displays:
17.1-inch, WXGA+ (1,440x 900), High-brightness amorphous silicon TFT color display.
17.1-inch, WSXGA+ (1,680x 1,050), High-brightness amorphous silicon TFT color display.

I’m not quite sure if you could use the LP171W02 but the notebook would handle definitely an 17.1 inch, WSXGA+ (1,680x1,050) TFT.
You can order also an compatible part from an Toshiba ASP in your country.

As far as I know such hardware upgrade has nothing to do with “plug and play”.
MisterX is right. Your notebook is designed to be used with 17.1” display so it should be recognized properly.

Do you want to exchange it alone?
Have you experience with this stuff?

Hi Guys,

i just ordered one and checked

Yes it worked, exchanging the display is not very complicated - look for some vids on youtube.
No extra modding or anything needed, just changed the resolution via the system-panel and that was it.
I like the new screen, the icons and fonts are a bit smaller but you have more space in general.

So, yes we can

Cheers,
