Lenovo Edge 2-1580 digitizer screen

Hi @missyspirit ,

The number you posted (80R40006US) indicates that your laptop is a Lenovo Flex 3 Ultrabook 1580 and not a Lenovo Edge 2 1580. To verify this, just type 80R40006US into the search term of your browser and check the results.

What if anything is printed on the model information label on the laptop?

If it is a Flex 3 Ultrabook 1580, then here’s a link to the service manual for the laptop, taken from this webpage

You may be out of luck getting just a digitizer panel. According to the service manual the digitizer panel and the LCD panel come as a complete module and not two separate components.

Scroll to p.86-87 to see the parts description and list for the LCD components. The part number for the FHD module is 5D10K42174. (part #2 LCD Module W 80R4 FHD W/BEZEL)

If you search online using the part number only in the search term of a browser, you’ll get results for suppliers of the part.

The manual will also help you to replace the module if you decide to do it. Go to p.59 to view the necessary pre-requisite steps and then the procedure to replace the LCD unit.

Hopefully this is of some help.

Is the digitizer actually physically damaged or just not working?

If just not working, what have you tried to get it working again?

Hi @missyspirit ,

You have ordered the wrong part. The part you ordered was for a hinge for a Lenovo Flex 3.

Your paperwork information is not the same as what is shown on the laptop

You have an Edge 2 1580 (check 80QF0004US online). This is different to what you initially said is in the paperwork hence the confusion

Here’s a link to the service manual for a Lenovo Edge 2-1580, taken from this webpage

Go to p.51 to view the necessary pre-requisite steps and then the procedure to replace the LCD unit, which shows how to access the hinges.

My reading of the parts list (see p.62 part #5) shows that the hinges come as a pair. Here is what I think the part is Hinge W Edge 2-1580 L+R 5H50K28142, given that the other hinges have Yoga (another model) in their title

The digitizer part numbers are in the manual, but if you need new hinges it may be that the LCD cable is damaged (it passes through the right hinge) and that it is not a panel problem. Just a thought.

Hi @missyspirit ,

No bother.

Yes the correct term is a digitizer but it is also known as a touchscreen or a touch panel. Go figure ;-)

Unfortunately for you if the digitizer fails or is intermittent then you will have to replace the complete module, i.e. LCD screen + digitizer.

Even though the manual states there are "touch panels" as a separate component, (see manual p.61 item #3), I cannot find anything online regarding availability of the touch panel or even how to remove/replace it, (it’s not shown how to in the manual either), from the LCD unit in your laptop

Therefore the module that you want is part # 5D10K28140 (p.62 Item #1 - as verified by this link note the model number and the machine type model number at the top of the page matches what you have).

If you search online using the part number only (5D10K28140) you’ll get results for suppliers of the part.

Go to p.53 to view the necessary pre-requisite steps and then the procedure to remove/replace the LCD unit.

Usually the part number is printed on the back of the LCD unit, so you may wish to verify that it is the same as above before ordering, but this means that you’ll have to dis-assemble it first.
