D600/D610--are displays interchangeable?

After looking through both service manuals, it appears that it might be possible to swap the displays (cover, LCD, etc.) on these two systems. I held them back to back and the hinges line up. The video connectors appear to be in slightly different spots, but as long as the cables reach, would this be possible?

    It should be, yes. Note that there are two different screen resolutions, and it may not be possible to swap one for the other, but should be if the two panels have the same resolution.

    What would be the issue with swapping the two reslutions?? That's what I was hoping to do--the D600 has an SXGA and the D610 only has XGA, so I hoping to put the better screen in the new system.

    Make sure the cables are interchangeable. The D610 has a different mainboard from the D600.

    You can purchase the D610 with an SXGA+ display. (1400x1050) The standard indeed does come with XGA which maxes at 1024x768.

    I know you can order the D610 with an SXGA screen, but mine has the XGA (it's a refurb--wasn't custom ordered, so I couldn't specify the screen type). However, I also have a D600 that DOES have the SXGA screen, so I was thinking of moving the better screen to the newer system.

    I'm going to take the keyboards out tonight and check out the connectors for myself.
