Looking for a Ryzen based L14 or maybe a T14. Edit: might consider a high spec E14 with the Alu case Higher end APU, Ryzen 5 or 7. US English keyboard layout preferred, but UK English, Scandinavian, Hungarian and German, in that order of preference is ok. Ram and SSD irrelevant. Display irrelevant. ...

Wait, you found a TP25 keyboard? I heard those were unobtanium since last year. :o Found French and Nordic (Danish, Swedish, Norvegian combination) layouts. Nordic is fine for me. Looks like the entire kit, for a T470, could be had for around 205 bucks. Might end up being more if my A475 ends up be...

I think there is no way to know for sure other than to test it.

I guess i'm the guinea pig. Found all the parts needed on Aliexpress and ebay so i'm going for it.

I think that, at worst, the extra keys won't be recognized. There's nothing "smart" about the keyboard itself (it's just a switch matrix after all). I remember from my T430 days that we had firmware mods to make the keys map correctly. Hence why i'm cautious about it. I know the Intel based T470 ca...

Has anyone ever tried this? The T470 and A475 share the same chassis. Theoretically it should physically fit if you replace the keyboard palmrest and trackpad.

But will the AMD based board recognize the T25 keyboard?

Looking for a "classic" keyboard and palm rest for my x230.

Interested in layouts: Nordic, Hungarian, US English, Hebrew. In that order.

Need it shipped to Sweden so preferably an EU seller if possible.

Okay so the stock 2009 bios does not support the X9100 properly. It works, but its basically in limp home mode. Threw in the new battery,upgraded bios to 3.22 and everything works perfectly with the x9100.

Sure everything is fine with your cooling? Mine runs fine with a x9100 in dgpu only mode. It gets hot (low 90's) if i really push it, but never gets hot enough to pose an issue. I did replace the heatsink/fan with a N/OS one though.

@DaKKS:
time to make a battery extension cable, see viewtopic.php?t=104989

Thanks, but i've bought a battery from a forum member. Just waiting for it to turn up in the mail.

Funny story. Noticed that without throttlestop the x9100 is stuck at 1598mhz. Didnt see it until now because i was using throttlestop, but it cant seem to regulate the speed correctly. To be fair, i should be lucky it boots at all since i'm still running the factory 2009 bios due to the fact i dont ...

Swapped in an X9100 and a N/OS fan. Cpu/gpu is idling at 45-50/50-55 celcius

Yeah, i ordered a new heatsink/fan. I repasted it three times at this point, with brand new mx4. I also swapped the W500 keyboard back in (first thing i did was put my T61 keyboard in it) thinking maybe it sucks in air via the keyboard like HPs but there was no difference in temps. I'm thinking this...

Yeah, i'm gonna have to do that. But thats kinda like fixing the hole in your boat by getting a bigger bilge pump.

I did repaste, temps changed minimally. The difference is within what i would call margin of error.

The strange thing is that if bios controls the fan, idle is extremely low, but load is on the thermal shutdown limit. If tpfan controls it, idle is high but load hovers around 85 celcius.

Hmm, there is an update related to fan speed control. I wonder if that could be it. It runs like an absolute dog with the bios control, but keeps it normal with the tpfancontrol snart setting.

Im hovering around 108-110 celcius on gpu load. Cpu load is around 70 celcius.

I have thermal management issues on my "new" w500 that i cant seem to solve. However since i dont have a working battery i cant flash the bios. Running bios version 2.07 atm. Considering the mfg date, this is probably the bios it shipped with. Could this be the cause? Like the horrible power and the...

Need good genuine batteries for a X200 and a W500. The X200 needs to be good.

But its fine if the W500 only has 30-ish minutes run time. Only need to be able to move it from one station to another.

I'm in sweden.

Interested in a x200 battery. Could you check shipping to sweden?

Edit: never mind, didnt notice the previous epic thread bump.

I see there is a deal pending. If the W701 or the good working W700 doesnt get sold, i'm interested. Preferably the W701 however.

Yeah, my bad. Didnt think of that. Please remove the thread then. I can only lock it due to forum settings.

Stripped down a severely damaged X240. Got minor stuff like touchpad, wifi, fp reader, smartcard reader, left hinge, speakers etc. Board and fan is buggered. Lcd cable looks whole but probably buggered internally, frame and keyboard cracked but the keys themselves are fine. No lcd assembly, no botto...

Regarding the X301, could you check how much shipping would be to sweden?

Also, do you have a picture of the damage?

I ride a -18 Romet Adventure 125 and a -07 Piaggio MP3 250.

I mostly ride the MP3 due to extremely poor roads where i live. Dropped the romet twice, while the three wheeled MP3 seems to handle it fine.

Where you at mate? Stateside? Europe?

I have a nice looking x61s if you're looking for one. Heads up though if you're interested, i'm out of the country until august 1st.

Looking for a preferably high end x200. P8700/P8800 if possible. Can deal with low end if there arent any available.

Big plus if its librebooted but not a requirement. Barebone unit is fine, i have loads of parts.

Need it shipped to sweden.

Got a good 9 cell battery for a T430?

NMB = red pads under the keys
ALPS = white pads
Chicony = grey pads

T420 HMM columns from L to R: Alps / Chicony / NMB

Thanks mate!

Gonna swap a quad into my new T430 so i'm looking for the "good" dgpu heatsink. I think its the one with the toshiba fan if i remember correctly. Further research pointed med to FRUs 04W3269, 0B41088 and 04W3270. Also looking for a T420 keyboard to swap in. Prefer NMB with Swedish or Danish layout....

Yeah, i'm sure if you do it right it would do fine. But seems like an silly risk to me after seeing what happens when you screw up.

Think i'm gonna stick with mx4 in my machines though.

Found locally. Looking for a T430 with a dGPU. I'd prefer a barebone unit as i have all the parts but i'll take what i can get. Its slim pickings around here on T430s. Most of them have integrated graphics only. Could survive with that but i'll check here first. Presentable units please, but wear is...
