Re: X230T and Windows 11
Rufus seems to get easier to use with every iteration. I also like Windows 11 once I disable all the connections to Microsoft account and only use a local account. BTW it takes hours for Rufus to download Windows iso file on my slow internet connection at our rural home, and I have had it time out a...

Re: X230T and Windows 11
Windows 11 22H2 is out.
And Rufus 3.20 is also out:
https://github.com/pbatard/rufus/releases
I am currently using it to download an ISO of Win_11_2H22_English_x61v1.iso to a USB to install on my X230T.
It seems to get easier to use with every version.

Re: 0271 Clock Error on Start Up after Reflash with 1vyrain
@tpfanatic et al. I have two X230T I have set the time in Windows 11 operating system on the X230T which starts with the 0271 real time clock error. It does not fix the problem. Rather, I have to [ESC] and then usually it starts booting Windows 11. But it is irritating to start it this way everytime...

X230T and Tablet Mode in Windows 11 ?
Ok now I am a little grumpy with myself. When I bought the X230T I immediately upgraded it to Windows 11. But the volume up and down function does not exist when the screen is face up and folded down covering the keyboard. Wondering how I could use it in "tablet mode" with Windows 11 I came across t...

0271 Clock Error on Start Up after Reflash with 1vyrain
I successfully reflashed a X230T with ivyprep and then 1vyrain. Although the laptop works fine, on start up, it presents a 0271 Clock error. After restarting a couple of times by pressing ESC, the laptop starts normally. But it is annoying. I have gone into BIOS, including the Advanced tab and there...

Best Battery for X230T ?
I have two X230T (tablet). One came without a battery. One came with an oem Lenovo battery built in 2013, FRU P/N 45N1079 / ASM P/N 45N1078 and I am surprised that it provides power as long as it does for being 9 years old. Apparently, you cannot buy Lenovo batteries on their website. You must telep...

Can I Add a Backlit Keyboard to a X230T 3435-2TU ?
I have really become enamored by the X230T. I have the backlit keyboard version. (True, the screen is not as tall as the X61 and the keyboard feel on the X61 is somewhat better, but the X230T seems to be a worthy replacement.) So, I bought an X230T on ebay without a battery, charger or hard drive fo...

I bought the used X230T i7 as a result of changing to a used X201T i7 because the three or four X61 which I have collected over the years have fan errors now (except for one). (I will list them for parts only along with their docks on ebay soon.) I liked the used X201T i7 allot but was disappointed ...

Why is Bluetooth (BT) choppy on X230T ?
I ran Ivyprep and 1vyrain to replace the oem BIOS with the wifi network card whitelist. Everything went fine. I replaced the BT daughter card with a 4.0 card. I replaced the network card with a Intel AC 7260 HMW card, and now can transceive 5GHz as well as 2.4GHz wifi. But the Bluetooth is "choppy" ...

Keyboard Screw in Middle of Memory Door Causes 8 Beeps on Startup
The Keyboard Screw in Middle of Memory Door on the X230T Causes 8 Beeps on Startup. I am looking for obstructions but apparently pulling down the keyboard and touch pad buttons causes this problem.

Re: New X230T Owner. Any suggestions? Ultrabase, etc.?
Well I stumbled my way through the process of Ivyprep and 1vyrain and everything seems to be working great. I installed the Intel AC 7260 wifi card and the newest Bluetooth Daughter card. And Bluetooth is definitely better!
