@Ajdino:
you should now be able to send PM.

The T43/T43p are a bit different from most other IBM Thinkpad models, because they have a very easy access to the chip with the BIOS passwords. Most of the others need to be taken apart to access their BIOS chip. It may be handy to have another person with you for holding the laptop up and pressing ...

For those of us who have no idea about LPCAMM2, here is some documentation.

Just looking at them, I do NOT agree that bigger is better!

I can't be bothered to even look into that.
YOU want it, YOU check it.
Case closed.

stock-LED IPS UXGA ???
Is that the one I did for ajkula66/George back in 2012? viewtopic.php?f=2&t=107018

Could Fn/Escape-> FnLk on or off have anything to do with it?
Don't have such a laptop to check right now.

Get the X1C6 HMM manual here.
In there, under Special keys it says:
Press Fn+Spacebar to switch between the different keyboard backlight status (off, low, or high).

Those buttons are part of the keyboard.
The touchpad is separate and can be replaced with your 'old' one.

The pictures need a better link, yours are not visible.

Take the lid apart to find its P/N or FRU.
Or do a vinegar test...
Scratch some lid paint away, put a drop of vinegar on that spot and see if it sizzles.
If not, then it's not magnesium.

Also got a no-delivery for Tuus his Gmail, reason: mailbox full.
I tried another email for him, but no answer from there (yet).
FYI: Tuus travels all over the US most of the time (and has however few left motherboards with him).
He may not always have the opportunity to check emails.

The 240 has 2 LCD options, type A and type B.
Could they have some influence?
T2x problem was more the inductors falling off or the BOD.
I'm not aware of T2x fuse problems.

/Rant The USB-C idea as such is not bad, but it is extremely poorly executed on (so far) all Lenovo laptops. Reason: they solder those darn USB-C ports directly onto the motherboard, instead of on a small extender which you can plug in (and easily replace when needed), like the old DC-In sockets. Th...

Check your PM.
Tuus was on the Forum last night!
Are you sure you typed his correct email address?

This is an older webpage and prices might be outdated, but the contact-info near the bottom is still correct: https://web.archive.org/web/20230128110 ... 1mobo.html

My 'source' was the link I gave in that post.

The USB-C is probably loose or damaged.
Try the Thunderbolt port next to it.

Have you tried connecting via USB-C/Thunderbolt?

G40 was indeed built by Acer.
Apparently FlexView can be done, see viewtopic.php?p=523847#p523847
And assuming that inverter is "moddable", then you can even go a step further and put a LED-backlit UXGA in it!

Lenovo = Fruitcopy.

A quick "Quectel EC25 in lenovo w430" search on Google shows that those Quectel thingies need a quack to fix them.
Loads of faulty ones, as e.g. seen here.

If you are a regular T25 user, you should buy a spare mobo now and be prepared...
By the time it really happens, they may no longer be available!

If you need an extra heater at home, by all means, give it a go.
But a more economical (and much cooler) one would be the i7-4702MQ or i7-4712MQ that 'only' has 37W TDP

Atheros AR9380 a.k.a. AR5BXB112.

A way better screen would be the Sharp LQ154M1LW2A or LQ154M1LW02, as used in many D800 Series Dells.

Because normally stuff like that is not stored on the same stick...

I strongly advise you to unlock that BIOS first. Get the W520 manual from the HMM link at the top of this page. BIOS chip location here . But while still PW-locked, you can put a SSD in it. Then boot from USB and install the OS from another USB-drive or CD/DVD. When done try to boot from that SSD. I...
