Cross-referenced FRUs: AP108000600· 01AV940· 01AV939
This is the rear A-cover (lid shell) for the ThinkPad L460 — the piece that holds the LCD panel from the back and houses the Lenovo logo + antenna routing. StoneTaskin sells it as a third-party replacement (new) matching the OEM FRU specs.
🔍 FRU Number Clarification (AP108000600 vs 01AV939 / 01AV940)
|
Code |
What It Is |
|---|---|
|
01AV939 |
Lenovo OEM FRU — "LCD cover, w/ texture, ABS+PC, BLK"(black, textured finish) |
|
01AV940 |
Likely the same part, alternate FRU (possibly silver variant or regional/batch diff — Lenovo sometimes splits black/silver under two FRUs for the same chassis) |
|
AP108000600 |
This is not a Lenovo FRU — appears to be the manufacturer / StoneTaskin internal SKU or the original ODM mold code that the FRU maps to |
💡 If your machine is a standard black L460, 01AV939 is the safe bet. 01AV940 may be the silver-livery L460 variant or a later-cross FRU — check your original lid's sticker before ordering if color matters.
📋 Compatibility
-
Primary: ThinkPad L460 (all 20FU / 20FV sub-models) — confirmed for 01AV939
-
Not forward-compatible with L470 without checking — L470 lid is similarbut screw bosses / antenna cutouts can differ; don't assume
-
Panel size: 14″ (L460 only came with 14″ LCD, so this lid is sized accordingly)
🏗️ Build Specs
|
Item |
Detail |
|---|---|
|
Material |
ABS + PC (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene + polycarbonate blend) — the standard ThinkPad textured black composite, not aluminum |
|
Finish |
Textured "soft-touch" matte black (classic L-series grip) |
|
Logo |
Usually pre-cut Lenovo / ThinkPad logo window — some batches come with logo sticker pre-applied, some blank (check seller photos) |
|
Includes (typical StoneTaskin listing) |
Lid shell only — hinges, antenna cables, camera bracket, LCD bezel NOT included unless explicitly stated |
|
Condition |
New third-party (StoneTaskin brand) |
⚠️ Sub-assemblies: This is just the outer A-cover. If your old lid has WiFi/BT antennas glued inside (L460 does — dual antennas run up the left hinge into the lid), you'll need to:
Either peel-transfer the old antennas onto the new lid (they're adhesive-backed), or
Buy new antenna cables if the old ones tear during removal
🔧 Installation Notes (L460-Specific)
From Lenovo's official HMM for L460 LCD panel/bezel removal:
|
Step |
Detail |
|---|---|
|
LCD-to-lid screws |
M2 × 3 mm flat-head, nylon-coated, 4 pcs, torque 0.181 Nm (1.85 kgf-cm) — very light, easy to strip the plastic bosses |
|
Bezel |
LCD bezel sheet comes off first to expose the 4 LCD-mount screws that clamp the panel to the lid |
|
Hinge alignment |
Bottom edge of LCD panel inserts at ~30° angle into the lid's bottom hooks, then lay flat and screw down |
Common L460 Lid Swap Pitfalls
-
Antenna routing — The L460 runs WWAN/WLAN antennas through the left hinge into the lid. When transferring to the new shell, make sure the inner channels are clear and the coax isn't pinched by the hinge cap
-
Camera module — If your L460 has the 720p/1080p cam at the top of the lid, the new cover must have the camera cutout + bracket screw holes — most L460 lids do, but confirm (some "LCD cover only" SKUs skip the cam bump)
-
Hinge screw torque — The lid's ABS+PC boss inserts strip embarrassingly easily. Hand-tight + a quarter-turn with a small JIS/Phillips #1 is plenty
-
Logo alignment — If the StoneTaskin unit comes logo-less, the Lenovo "I" dot / ThinkPad logo sticker is usually transferred from the old lid (heat gun + fishing line to separate cleanly)
✅ Who This Is For
|
✅ Good Fit |
❌ Skip / Double-Check |
|---|---|
|
Your L460 lid is cracked at the hinge corners (common failure on L-series) |
You need the full LCD assembly (panel + bezel + lid) — this is lid shell only |
|
Cosmetics: deep scratches, peeling soft-touch coating |
You're on an L470 — verify FRU cross first, may not fit |
|
You're already opening it to replace the panel and figure "might as well" |
You expect hinges/antennas/camera included — they're not |
💰 Bottom Line
StoneTaskin's L460 lid (AP108000600/ maps to FRU 01AV939) is the standard aftermarket route when your original lid's hinge bosses cracked (very common on L460 — the 14″ chassis takes torque on those corners) or the soft-touch coating turned to sticky goo. At the typical $15–28 Range (StoneTaskin pricing varies by warehouse), it's way cheaper than Lenovo OEM ($130+ for the FRU), with the trade-off being thinner-wall feel on some third-party molds and no antenna/cam hardware included.
If you want, tell me whether your L460 has the WWAN upgrade / smart card reader / IR cam — those add extra cutouts on the lid/top bezel that not all third-party shells replicate correctly.
