[ltp] 770X TFT

[Harry Mangalam]

The 14.1" 1024x768 screen can be fitted to a 770X 1280x1024 lappie (the base is 
identical), but will not close completely (it's too short vertically).  Fine if 
you only need a screen and don't plan on transporting it much.  You can cut off 
the locking clips to allow it to close further (it will close enough to trigger 
the sleep switch) and then tape it or velcro it shut for transport, but 
obviously the right screen is a better fit.
