A quick note that my W700 (not a ds model) does not match this information. It has the FRU 42W8030 with the 1920x200 MaxBright display with two CCFLs. Sorry! 42W8030 likely works with both but the 45N4460 was the original inverter spec'd for the X1 display per Lenovo's documents linked above. I'm s...

ISBU = Industrial Solutions Business Unit and defined the business unit (BU) team responsible for industrial/POS products.

These were self-contained touchscreen PCs used in kiosks in the early/mid '90s.

What device are you using to output the VGA signal? You should be able to drive most 2560x1440 displays over VGA by lowering the output refresh rate to 30 or 40Hz.

Flash updates error out during Windows Update. KB3174060 from yesterday was unable to install because Flash has been removed from my system.

The downside is that the update needs to be manually removed from the queue or it keeps trying to install when WU runs.

All 91 15.4" 1680x1050 panels listed on Panelook are TN.

The only IPS variants listed in 15.4" are 16:9 at 2560x1440.

There are newer (non-IBM/Lenovo) caddies for SATA, such as this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/321906095854 with AFAIK only a straight bezel. Lenovo made an eIDE to SATA adapter under P/N 26R9247 / FRU 26R9246. I have an original sitting on my desk collecting dust. It was intended for the 60-series but c...

It's standard practice not to name sources when they don't come forth to the vendor first. It's a way to mitigate those seeking fame rather than doing this to truly help the industry. It's certainly possible to write an executable that writes this exploit to memory, reboots a system and attempts to ...

Speaking of UEFI complexity, the author of the exploit admits himself that one is more likely to be hit by lightening than affected by this issue. http://blog.cr4.sh/2016/06/exploring-and-exploiting-lenovo.html Not mentioned in the public media is the fact that someone would have to have physical ac...

That's because it's UEFI now, not BIOS. True BIOS is still simple... or basic, more accurately.

Not sure. With Enterprise N LTSB there is no Edge, only standard IE. IE has been uninstalled on nearly all systems I manage, my own personal systems included. But, Flash still gets installed with the OS and constantly updated for security issues. I've not yet seen it get reinstalled but I'll keep an...

In my quest to meet specific HIPAA/SOX/PCI/security requirements on various Win 10 deployments, I wrote the following batch script to remove the built-in Flash installation. The standard Adobe Uninstall Flash Player app doesn't remove the built-in version. See note below. Create a batch file and pas...

Up for grabs is a 512GB Samsung 850 Pro 2.5" SSD. Condition is like new. It's only a couple weeks old and has been used very little. Includes original packaging. Selling only because this drive is now a spare and no longer needed. Samsung's warranty on this drive is 10 years or 300TBW starting from ...

Just in case no one read the article: Lenovo ThinkPad and ThinkStation devices are not affected by this security issue. Translation: It's not bundled on Think systems, only standard Lenovo systems. If you haven't installed it manually then there's nothing to worry about here. Here is a full list of ...

Good luck with that. If it's because of privacy reasons then pay close attention to the distribution you run. Nothing free is private.

Will Windows 10 still try to install on my Windows 7 Professional machine if I have Windows updates completely shut off? No. Everything is a KB package and can be controlled as such.

It sounds like anyone can upgrade to Enterprise using a KMS key. I've not tried this myself to know if it works long-term. http://www.howtogeek.com/250503/how-to-upgrade-to-windows-10-enterprise-without-reinstalling-windows/ My point remains that Microsoft has summarized and continues to summarize w...

It started in XP and has grown. Similar doesn't mean equal. Don't conflate the two terms.

I'd like to avoid Cortana, the MS store, telemetry etc. I hate doing installs so I don't want to go to 8.1 and then 10 or vice versa. There are tons of tweaks out there to kill all of that stuff in 10. It's a hassle but worth the time if you like the interface. Besides, if you don't think similar t...

No worries. Let us know how things turn out. The labels I purchased were blatant knockoffs but the rails might be decent. It's too soon to be concerned.

I purchased vintage IBM ThinkPad labels from that seller and they turned out to be counterfeit. I reported them to eBay and they wouldn't do anything about it. Hopefully you have better luck. Those rails used to be around $20 each plus $13.50 for shipping, then tax on top of everything. That's rough...

Up for grabs is a used but like-new X230 04W6923 Fan/heatsink assembly for the X230 and X220 notebook and tablet models with standard voltage CPUs. This is the dual heatpipe version with improved cooling over the older FRU and a low-acoustics fan blade design. The fan is an AVC and the entire assemb...

If you need the 41x7mm size then I have a spare in both black chrome and standard black. Both are genuine labels from LCD cover replacements.

NVMe is already (unofficially) supported in the 435x D30 as a storage drive. Or, does this mod add boot support?

Selling my X220 to make room for other purchases. Condition is mint, save for a mild scratch on the top lid. I'm the original owner and all of it was purchased new here in the US. Everything listed is genuine Lenovo parts except the Samsung memory. This system has the most powerful ULV CPU available...

Genuine Lenovo 90W / 20V AC adapter with large, round plug found on 2007~2011 era systems. Mint condition and never left the house. No marks, scratches, dings, dents, or whiny noises. Just a solid adapter that looks brand new. Part number 42T4434 / FRU 42T4435. Manufactured by Delta (and arguably th...

But some palmrests have aluminum shielding inside and others have not, could it be that? Doubt it. I just replaced my father's X220 palmrest and both the old and new have aluminum shielding just like that. FRU number on the new one is 04X3779 and manufactured 09/2014. Not sure of the old FRU but I ...

What's special about the mSATA version? I have mSATA SSDs in three X220s and all are the "non" mSATA palmrests. The drives fit fine.
