Easy peasy! Got a fresh 1080p IPS display into my ThinkPad thanks to this guide!

What display did you have before? I have heard that there are two different display cables and if you didn't already have a 900p screen/already had a 768p screen, then you will need a new display cable to do the FHD display swap.
