I'm going to need to learn some self-reliance. I'm tempted to take apart the coffee-damaged machine in order to learn how to replace the keyboard and trackpad, something I would ONLY have asked you to do before this...

And you're right. It wasn't hard at all - but getting all those wires dressed correctly was a minor headache for someone who had never done it before...

Thank you again!

Excellent! Thank you from Maine to Eire!

The keyboard and trackpad in my wife's trusty X250 failed, so I bought a replacement X250 on eBay and installed the SSD from the old machine into the new one. All seems well, except that the screen looks pale, and my guess is that my wife's machine had an IPS screen and the replacement doesn't. Is t...

eBay US is offering this one:

And here's a good word for positive - terrific buyer: fast payment, good communication, straightforward and easy to work with. Thank you!

Sold!

I discovered that I still had one more of my X200s models that I upgraded to an X201s by replacing the system board and sound card with their X201s equivalents. This is my absolute last one, and, like the others, it's in beautiful condition. If you need to know the basic specs, look up the X201s, be...

George - Ah, I should have realized! I upgraded my X201s units to an Intel 7260, and never saw Bluetooth again....!

Quick information question:

Is Bluetooth actually working on this machine? I could NEVER get Bluetooth working on an X201s after installing an Intel 802.11agn card in it. If you have Bluetooth actually working, could you tell us which Intel card you're using?

Thanks for any info...

Have you tried clicking "Computrace" and changing "Enabled" to "Permanently Disabled"? If you can't, then Absolute hasn't deactivated it. Make sure you're online and reboot again. If you can't change it to Permanently Disabled in a day or two, call them back.

If Computrace has in fact been deactivated on the laptop, then you should be able to go to Security-->Anti-Theft in the BIOS (or some similarly-named screen), click Computrace, and then click Permanently Disabled. If you can't do that, then CompuTrace has not been deactivated. Please try it and let ...

Sold...

This is still for sale, but a private message asked about USB 3.0. The X200/201 series only had USB 2.0, but this reminded me that I have a USB 3.0 ExpressCard for this unit, and I'll add it to the sale. It's recognized immediately by Windows 10 (it's a Renascence USB 3.0 controller).

Still for sale! I should have made clear that I'll ship only to the 48-state US.

EDIT: Sold! And I contributed ten percent to the forum... Too many ThinkPads, episode 127: It's finally time to part from my long-time favorite, a true ThinkPad X201s in beautiful condition, with a perfect screen, near-new keyboard, plus dock and dock modules. (Not an X200s with a X201s system boar...

Well, two surprises: First, after I installed the latest Lenovo Vantage under Windows 10, it didn't complain about the battery. It seems to say it's genuine. Next, the serial number shown in Lenovo Vantage exactly matches the number under the bar code on the battery itself. So maybe this was a false...

I bought one of these for an X201s that I want to sell on the forum: https://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-GENUINE-Battery-Lenovo-ThinkPad-X200-X200s-X201-X201s-42T4834-47-OEM/272917574429?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649 Lenovo software says it's not genuine Lenovo, and I'm certain...

For that LCD price from Israel you could buy a whole other machine! Very true! I'm trying to make this right for the buyer - and the rest of the machine is in really beautiful shape, so it would be nice to get it working. I'm perfectly willing to take a total loss on it, but it would be better to s...

I'm in touch with the buyer and maybe this will work. Could you tell more details about putting the piece of paper there - do you mean under the bezel? Meanwhile, thank you! EDIT: And I found a screen; not cheap but maybe worth it rather than losing the whole machine: https://www.ebay.com/itm/IBM-Le...

I think it is an ultralight screen. I had forgotten that. The HMM is on this site:

https://thinkpads.com/support/hmm/hmm_p ... 550_04.pdf

The screens seem to be on pp.201-202, but I can't figure out which is the Ultralight.

And here's a photo which the buyer sent me, showing the artifacts. Do these look familiar to any of the experts here?

I recent sold an X61s on the forum - and when the buyer got the machine, the screen was showing reddish (magenta?) vertical artifacts, almost as if someone had taken had a Magic Marker and dragged it down the screen. The damage obviously occurred in USPS shipping (never again...) and I've asked the ...

And presumably you would make this financially risk-free for anyone who might hesitate before spending thousands of dollars of their own money in order to send a computer to a member of this forum who joined only yesterday.

Lenovo lists reseller sites on its Lenovo Israel page. Presumably you could look at the actual unit at one of those resellers instead of relying on someone else: https://www.lenovo.com/il/en/dealer-locator/ I entered Holon in the search field and came up with three nearby resellers, two of them list...

If anyone's interested in buying this for $350, it's yours. I've listed it for $375 on eBay, but I'd rather sell it through the forum.

Price dropped...

Photos added; price dropped.

And I think that's right! Thanks for the reminder...

I will try that - thank you.
