Mohammed Musa or anyone in this thread, is a LCD swap possible with 82HK and 82AT models? I wanted to swap my 82HK LCD for the 82AT to get Pen Support. Is that an easy swap?
Hi @joatruger , Perhaps changing the LCD module may not be necessary. Have you tried installing the Lenovo Pen Settings driver and check what it shows, you didn’t say? Looking at the parts list for a 82HK and a 82AT it seems that they both share the same LCD modules, as the spare part numbers for the 2 LCD modules available for both laptop models are identical. (Click on Select Commodity > LCD Assemblies). It seems that is not a given that all 82AT models have the feature. It may be that the pen feature is available in both models as long as they had the appropriate LCD module installed in the first place. The hardware maintenance manual is applicable to both models and it doesn’t mention anything about the pen function, as in the need to have extra hardware installed. The only mention regarding the pen feature is in the CRU list (Customer Replaceable Unit) on p.22. I presume by this that they mean the pen itself. FYI, FRU = Factory Replacement Unit which means parts able to be replaced by service personnel - not users ;-) The manual describes the procedure to replace the LCD module- see p.28, if you feel that swapping the LCD module is required. Usually the part number can be found on the back of the module, if you wish to verify which one you have. You could also try inserting the laptop’s serial number (found on information label on the bottom of the laptop) into the search box on the parts page I linked above and check if it gives the LCD part number for your particular model. I don’t have any Lenovo products so I’m not sure what is shown. Maybe it is the same as the HP PartSurfer website, you get the part numbers of the components used, when entering the serial number Search online using the part number only of the LCD module you want to install, i.e. the other one to what you have now, to find suppliers that suit you best.
