Condition: New
Note: price and availability are subject to change without prior notice
Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Yoga 2nd Gen screen assembly is now in stock at Mascom International for KSh 20,500, supplied as a full 14-inch touch lid for machine types 20JD, 20JE, 20JF and 20JG. The part arrives brand new and sealed. It ships as one piece: LCD panel, touch digitizer glass, front bezel, rear cover and both 360-degree hinges already fitted and aligned. Collect the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Yoga 2nd Gen screen assembly at Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD. Stock covers both the 1920x1080 FHD and 2560x1440 WQHD panel types, so confirm your resolution before ordering.
A cracked digitizer does not make a good machine worthless. The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Yoga 2nd Gen screen assembly is bought most often by IT support teams in Westlands and Upper Hill, independent repair technicians working the Kimathi Street and Luthuli Avenue corridor, university students at Strathmore and USIU, and NGO staff whose units took a knock in tablet mode. A working X1 Yoga 2nd Gen with a Core i7 and 16GB of RAM still sells for KSh 60,000 to KSh 90,000 in Kenya. Spending KSh 20,500 on a lid returns the whole machine to service.
Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya who stock only bare LCD panels and leave you sourcing a bezel and hinges separately, Mascom International supplies the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Yoga 2nd Gen screen assembly complete. Technicians consistently report that a full-lid swap takes 25 to 40 minutes against roughly two hours for a bare-panel rebuild, with far less risk of cracking the fresh glass during reassembly. Walk into our Nairobi CBD store to compare your old lid against the new part on the counter, or order the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Yoga 2nd Gen screen assembly for pay-on-arrival delivery anywhere in Kenya.
Common Questions About the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Yoga 2nd Gen screen assembly
Will this assembly fit my ThinkPad X1 Yoga?
Only the 2nd generation, sold as machine types 20JD, 20JE, 20JF and 20JG and built in 2017. Flip your laptop over and read the small label near the hinge — it prints the four-character type code. The 1st generation (20FQ, 20FR) and 3rd generation (20LD, 20LE) use different lid dimensions, cable routing and hinge mounts. Bring the machine to Kimathi Street and our counter staff will read the type for you in under a minute before you pay.
Which resolution does the replacement come in?
Two panel types were factory-fitted to this model: FHD at 1920x1080 and WQHD at 2560x1440, both glossy IPS with 10-point touch. A small number of units shipped with a WQHD OLED panel. Mascom International matches the part to your original resolution. You cannot fit a WQHD lid to a machine that left the factory with FHD — the internal display cable and firmware differ, and the result is a blank screen. Confirm your current resolution in Windows display settings first.
Does the touchscreen and ThinkPad Pen Pro still work afterwards?
Yes. The digitizer is bonded into the assembly, so both the 10-finger capacitive touch layer and the active pen layer come with the part. Your existing ThinkPad Pen Pro pairs and writes exactly as before, with no driver reinstall on a like-for-like swap. Palm rejection, pressure sensitivity and the pen silo charging contacts sit in the base chassis and are untouched by the repair. Windows detects the new panel automatically on first boot.
Can I install this screen assembly myself?
A confident DIY owner can, though we recommend a technician. You need a PH0 Phillips driver, a plastic spudger and about 40 minutes. The internal battery must be disabled in BIOS or unplugged first. Depending on the unit supplied, the webcam module and display cable transfer across from your old lid. Mascom International refers customers to trusted Nairobi CBD technicians who charge KSh 1,500 to KSh 3,000 for fitting. Ask us when you collect.
Why buy a full assembly instead of a bare LCD panel?
Bare panels look cheaper until you count the extras. A separated repair means prising off the glued bezel, transferring hinges, cleaning old adhesive and re-bonding the digitizer the stage where most technicians crack the new glass. The complete lid removes all of that. You disconnect one cable, unscrew two hinge brackets and fit the new unit. Repair shops across Nairobi tell us the labour saving alone covers most of the price gap.
Is KSh 20,500 sensible against simply buying another laptop?
Compare the figures. A clean used X1 Yoga 2nd Gen with a Core i7-7600U, 16GB of RAM and a 512GB NVMe drive trades between KSh 60,000 and KSh 90,000 in Kenya's import market. The lid costs KSh 20,500 plus fitting. You keep your existing storage, your installed software and your Windows licence, and you avoid the data migration entirely. For a machine that is otherwise healthy, the repair is roughly a quarter of the replacement cost.
How do I confirm my machine type and panel before ordering?
Three checks take five minutes. First, read the type code on the underside label near the rear hinge. Second, open Windows Settings, then System, then Display, and note the recommended resolution 1920x1080 or 2560x1440. Third, photograph your existing lid and send the images to Mascom International on WhatsApp at +254 708 852 521. Our team confirms the match against stock and replies before you send any payment.

Mombasa, Kisumu, Nakuru, Eldoret, Nyeri, Thika, Meru, Kakamega and every other major town receive the part within 1 business day.

Every order travels pay-on-arrival, so you inspect the packaging and the glass before any money changes hands.
Technical Specifications
Display Panel Specifications and Resolution Choices
- 14.0-inch diagonal panel, 355mm, in a 16:9 shape that matches the original Lenovo lid footprint exactly.
- FHD option runs 1920x1080 on a glossy IPS layer rated at 300 nits, adequate for indoor office lighting.
- WQHD option runs 2560x1440 on the same IPS technology, giving sharper text at 210 pixels per inch.
- Contrast is rated 700:1 with a 72% colour gamut and 170-degree viewing angles on IPS units.
- A WQHD OLED variant exists for select units, rated near 54,000:1 contrast for far deeper blacks.
Touch Digitizer and Active Pen Compatibility
- Capacitive touch layer reads 10 simultaneous contact points, so pinch, rotate and multi-finger gestures behave normally.
- Active pen layer supports the ThinkPad Pen Pro, the rechargeable stylus that lives in the chassis silo.
- Digitizer is factory-bonded to the panel, which removes the air gap that causes parallax when writing.
- Touch and pen layers are wired through the same eDP 30-pin connector used by the original lid.
- No separate driver installation is needed on a like-for-like swap; Windows loads the existing touch stack.
- Glass surface carries an anti-smudge treatment that keeps fingerprints manageable during tablet-mode note taking.
Complete Assembly Components
- Ships as a bonded LCD panel and digitizer, already seated in the front bezel with no glue work required.
- Rear lid cover is included and pre-drilled for the standard hinge brackets and antenna routing channels.
- Both left and right 360-degree hinges arrive fitted and torque-set from the supplier.
- Antenna cable channels are moulded into the cover so your existing Wi-Fi leads route without modification.
- Bezel carries the correct camera cut-out for either the 720p module or the infrared Windows Hello module.
- Webcam module and internal display cable transfer from your old lid unless ordered separately from Mascom International.
Machine Type and Part Number Matching
- Fits ThinkPad X1 Yoga 2nd Gen machine types 20JD, 20JE, 20JF and 20JG, all 2017 production.
- Common FHD standard-camera part numbers include 01AX893, 01AX895, 01AX896, 01AY905, 01AY916 and 01YR155.
- Infrared-camera FHD variants carry part numbers 01AX891, 01AX892 and 01YT277 for Windows Hello face login.
- WQHD assemblies use part numbers in the 01AX897 to 01AX899 range, including the OLED option.
- Does not fit X1 Yoga 1st Gen types 20FQ and 20FR, or 3rd Gen types 20LD and 20LE.
- Quote your existing part number to Mascom International on WhatsApp and we confirm the match before dispatch.
Hinge Mechanism and Structural Build
- The 360-degree hinge pair supports all four postures: laptop, tent, stand and tablet orientation.
- Hinge tension is factory-set so the lid holds any angle without drift during matatu commutes and desk use.
- Rear cover uses the carbon-fibre-reinforced construction Lenovo specified for the original ThinkPad X1 chassis family.
- Lid thickness matches the 17.05mm closed profile of IPS units, or 17.4mm on OLED builds.
- Panel bonding survives the dust and humidity common on Thika Road, Mombasa Road and the coastal strip.
- Assembly weight sits close to the factory lid, so overall balance in tent mode stays unchanged.
Installation Requirements and Post-Fitting Checks
- Tools needed are a PH0 Phillips driver, a plastic spudger and roughly 40 minutes of bench time.
- Disable the internal battery in BIOS or unplug it before touching the display cable connector.
- Seat the eDP connector fully and refit the retaining tape; a loose connector causes flicker or blank output.
- Test touch response, pen tracking and all four hinge postures before closing the base panel screws.
- Run Windows Update once after fitting so any camera or sensor entries re-enumerate cleanly.
- Typical technician fitting charges in Nairobi CBD run KSh 1,500 to KSh 3,000 for this model.
