All the Carbons I've seen have an integrated fan and heatsink. The fans are pretty special, too - they're in a custom shroud that mates up to the side (or rear) of the case.

I have had a X1 Carbon Gen 6 WQHD Matte. I use this mostly for surfing and YouTube, reading news, etc. Nothing major. I usually have a cord handy or near. Screen quality is super important. That said... The Yoga Titanium I had for a few days was pretty... terrible. The screen was especially ghosty, ...

Are the lids between X1 Carbon G6 - 7 - 8 compatible with each other? I was thinking about picking up a G7 (with a 10th gen processor) and swapping out the lid since my G6 has a 1440p display and the G7 has a 1080p display. I believe I could probably pull the displays and swap them, but that's a muc...

Hey, it's a rainy day, and HomeDad needed to solve a problem (of his own creation) today.... and we're solved! :-) I've posted this on Reddit ( https://www.reddit.com/r/thinkpad/comments/nfk68a/tpm_mfg_mode_fix/ ), too, in case anyone runs into this in the future. Quite the head-scratcher! I realize...

I still can't get TPM to work, but I'm happy enough without it now - I dropped my daughter off at school and just swelted in my hot car until I figured it out. Read into that what you wish. :-) I got Windows Hello to work (well, it was always working, but PIN was borked because it was probably tied ...

Yeah, I was messing with the BIOS, and trying to get the advanced menu on my X1C6 (X1 Carbon Gen 6 for future searchers). Now the Security / TPM chip is stuck in MFG mode, and I can't seem to get it out of it. I have tried resetting to defaults, setting a supervisor password, cold booting, resetting...

Someone on Reddit suggested this site. Any reason not to use it?

I've been burned by aftermarket Li-Ion/Poly batteries having lower than claimed output, and if I go to the trouble to replace the existing battery, it might as well be an OEM or at least very high-quality one.
iFixit sells one for $100. Anyone else sell a recommended replacement?

Yep. Right now, just follow the instructions.

Not bad, but you can get new same config for. $1200. Wqhd is $1350 and I'd recommend that.

Sold to fellow forum member! Thanks!

Open to offers or parting out/barebones. Display is the draw - it's the best AUO 1080p display I've ever seen.

Bump. Just verified the warranty is until 5/2020.

That's a nice build you got here! I wonder why is it so cheap? Did the prices go 1.5x down during the last two years? (This one seems better than one you sold two years ago for $450) Dunno. I just put a $ on it. Been cleaning out my office and not feeling like getting the most out of it. I think th...

I just picked up a used Gen 2 x1 tablet, and so far kinda like it. Might have to get the gen 3 when it's on fire sale.

I recently bought a used ThinkPad X1 Tablet 2nd gen on eBay. It was a good deal, and was supposed to be pristine. When I got it, the keyboard had a big scratch in it (no big deal) but the trackpoint was harder to push right than other directions. Really annoying, but hard to prove. I tried web suppo...

i believe it will work. I have done the reverse and put a x230 bluetooth module in an x220 no problems. I believe the port is a modified USB port with a custom connector. Just need the drivers from that model (or rather generation) Not sure if the 10 series will work - they were considerably differe...

Thanks all, I've managed to successfully install the mod. However, my keyboard does not fit properly on my X230. Do you have the same issue?

I successfully ordered one kit directly from javi_jie by taobao.com. Now I am waiting for shipment which takes around 3 weeks. I paid for it with shipment ~ 37 dollars. Hi, I'm also interested in order this kit, in taobao.com there is also the full kit https://world.taobao.com/item/520044762973.htm...

So I finally got the EC keyboard mod to work on my t430s, now how do I make a build that removes the battery check? I understand that I have to modify the .FL2 file but I'm not sure how, any guidance is appreciated. Thanks. In Linux you need to cd to the t430s directory and rename the battery patch...

Sold to forum member. Thanks!

I know on the t420s you can't disable the nVidia graphics and use the DisplayPort (or dock video). Did that change with the t430s? Can you use the dock video while Just using integrated graphics? The user doesn't have any caveats around the DisplayPort and thought maybe you could disable NVidia. Any...

penartur Has contacted me and interested. He asked me to post this.

Upgraded display to 1080p IPS, Bluetooth from 3.0 to 4.0.

Spoke too soon - I'm getting sudden power-downs when I either insert a battery, remove a battery, or insert the power plug. The EC is stock, and the Battery light blinks in a pattern: Insert power plug - 3 blinks (normal) <random pause>, Long, Short, 3 blinks. Thoughts? A bummer. Bummer, contacted s...

One Of the batteries came with a t430s I just boight. In stress testing it, there has been some odd behavior (shuts off spontaneously after a minute or so, but only whe. The battery is installed AND the power supply is plugged in). I was wondering if the battery was fake or not - power manager said ...

I don't want to lead the conversation too much, since I don't have an answer, but is anything interesting about either of these 81+ batteries? If so, what? Thanks!
