StoneTaskin For Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 10 10th LCD Cover Black AQ29R000300 45 Days Warranty

StoneTaskin For Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 10 (10th) LCD Cover Black A-Cover AQ29R000300 45 Days Warranty

Product Description:

This is a replacement LCD A-Cover (rear lid shell) for the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 10 (2022, 14″ ultrabook). The part carries the Lenovo FRU AQ29R000300 and is sold by third-party supplier StoneTaskin. It is the outer rear lid that forms the back of the display assembly — not the front bezel (B-cover), not the LCD panel, not a full display assembly. Comes with a 45-day seller warranty (not Lenovo official).

⚡ Core Specifications

🔍 What This Part Is / Isn't

⚠️ Critical Compatibility — Don't Guess

X1 Carbon generations look similar but FRUs don't cross:

Even though Gen9/10/11 share the 14″ form factor and similar silhouette, the hinge boss positions, antenna channel routing, and camera bump can differ slightly — Gen10 FRU will not reliably fit Gen9 or Gen11. Always confirm your bottom-label MTM reads 21CB or 21CC.

How to verify:

1. Flip laptop → bottom sticker → Type = 21CBor 21CC

2. Or open the lid → look at the white sticker on the insideof your current A-cover (once you pop the bezel) → should reference AQ29R000300 or a close sibling FRU

🏗️ X1 Carbon Gen10 A-Cover — Build Context

The X1C Gen10 lid is carbon-fiber hybrid (Lenovo's "Carbon" weave + resin + glass-fiber reinforcement on some trims) — not the ABS plastic used on L/E-series. This means:

• Much lighter (~1.12 kg total system weight)

• Stiffer — but also more brittle if pried incorrectly

• The soft-touch coating on black units can peel/stick with age (common complaint on X1C Gen8–10) — this replacement restores the original feel

Gen10 lid also carries WLAN + optional WWAN antenna coax internally (glued/sticker-routed), plus the IR cam / RGB cam / ALS at the top for Windows Hello.

🔧 Installation Difficulty: Medium-High (Flagship Ultrabook)

X1 Carbon Gen10 lid swap isn't the hardest thing ever, but it's unforgiving because of the thin carbon shell and delicate coax:

From Lenovo's HMM (Gen10 LCD module removal flow):

1. Bottom cover off → disconnect battery (critical — X1C has live rails near the hinge area)

2. Disconnect display eDP cable + antenna coax + camera cable from the system board side

3. Remove the B-Cover (front bezel) — plastic pry tool, work the clips gently (carbon lid edges chip if you pry too hard)

4. Unscrew the LCD panel from the old A-cover (usually 4 screws, nylon-coated)

5. Transfer camera bracket + antennas onto the new StoneTaskin A-cover — antennas are adhesive-backed, peel slowly with heat if needed

6. Mount LCD panel onto new lid, snap B-cover back on

7. Reconnect all cables to motherboard, reinstall bottom cover

X1C-Specific Pitfalls:

💡 X1 Carbon Gen10 uses 2× Thunderbolt 4 and Wi-Fi 6E (AX211) — if you botch the antenna transfer, you'll wonder why your 6E speeds tank.

📦 Package Contents (Typical)

• 1× LCD A-Cover (FRU AQ29R000300) — black, carbon composite

• (May include Lenovo/ThinkPad logo pre-applied, or blank — confirm with seller)

Hinges, antennas, camera, bezel, LCD panel, screws = NOT included — transfer from your old assembly.

✅ Pre-Purchase Checklist

1. Confirm MTM = 21CBor 21CCon bottom sticker — Gen10 only

2. Confirm FRU on your current lid = AQ29R000300(or close sibling) before ordering

3. Is your damage actually the A-cover? Common X1C Gen10 lid issues:

   • Corner crack near hinge (drop impact — most common)

   • Soft-touch coating gone sticky (cosmetic, but annoying)

   • Carbon weave delam (rare but happens on early units)

4. Camera config — if your Gen10 has the IR cam + RGB cam (Windows Hello), confirm the new lid has the dual-cutout at top-center (most AQ29R000300 units do, but worth asking StoneTaskin for a photo)

💰 Bottom Line

The AQ29R000300 A-Cover is the correct OEM-spec rear lid for X1 Carbon Gen 10 (21CB/21CC). StoneTaskin's version is a third-party new part — cheaper than Lenovo's ~$80–130 FRU pricing, with the trade-off being 45-day seller warranty only and no Lenovo logo guarantee (some batches ship logo-less, some have it). The carbon shell is unforgiving during install — if you haven't stripped an X1C before, watch a HMM video or go pro. The #1 killer on this model is hinge-corner cracking from opening the lid one-handed by the corner — if that's why you're buying, consider training your habit after the swap.

If you want, paste your MTM (21CB/21CC + 3 digits) or a photo of the current lid's white FRU sticker — I'll confirm the exact FRU match and whether your cam config (IR vs RGB-only) aligns with this AQ29R000300 before you order.
