    My T61 just arrived today, and I was wondering how to find whether it's a Samsung/LG screen and whether it's an Alps/MNB/Chicony keyboard. I tried the parts lookup page on Lenovo's site but it didn't really tell me anything.

    Thanks

    Once you look up the parts, post the FRU number of the LCD and keyboard here and we'll let you know which manufacturer it came from.

    Keyboard FRU #: 42T3273

    I didn't see any listings for the screen on the parts lookup page...I did see one item that had "..." by the description though, and the MFG part # for that was 42T0493. I don't know if this is the screen or not.

    Chicony keyboard.

    For the screen, look for 14.1" (or 15.4") INCH LCD DISPLAY FRU.
