It's strange that Bluetooth isn't showing at all in the BIOS I/O Port Access menu. That entry usually appears whether or not the system detects the presence of the Bluetooth daughtercard. You could potentially get Bluetooth working with the Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260 Plus Bluetooth 4.0 card, b...

I still dont see the Bluetooth option in Bios I/o menu to turn on or off

What devices are showing in the BIOS menu under Security > I/O Port Access?

Sorry about the late reply, but I just came across this thread. I posed a question about this issue a while back to the creator of the modified BIOS, VladikSS at bios-mods.com: Your 1.44 BIOS appears to use Intel vbios version 2089 while your 1.43 BIOS used Intel vbios 2119. Was there something that...

Hi, The latter seems to be out of stock as well :( Will any other adapter (*) do, or are there constraints to be known (or adapters that are known to not be suited to the X301) ? (*) edit : such as this one https://www.amazon.fr/dp/B00AEQ92FO/ The adapter you linked to should work fine. It appears ...

The Aleratec mSATA SSD to 1.8" micro SATA Drive Converter that is often recommended for the X301 seems to be out of stock everywhere.

The Addonics ADMS18SA mSATA SSD to 1.8" micro SATA Adapter is an identical product and is currently available here: https://www.addonics.com/products/adms18sa.php

A huge thank you to Bill Morrow for hosting this content and to RealBlackStuff for optimizing the code and facilitating the transition from Wikispaces.

Not sure why these things would be happening with the modified BIOS but resolve when the original BIOS is in place.

There is a modified version of the latest BIOS (v 1.43) that might work better for you here: http://x220.mcdonnelltech.com/resources/

I see, thank you for the explanation. Out of curiosity, can I ask what the files prefixed with ._ are for? Also, I noticed there are some binary differences in FvRecovery.fd? My understanding is that the ._ files are there because the original archive was created in OS X. They store file informatio...

There are significant differences in the mod which seems to come from Oleh, and the mod posted on x220.mcdonnelltech.com. Which one should we use? The modified 1.42 BIOS on my site ( x220.mcdonnelltech.com ) is the same one credited to Oleh and posted on the bios-mods.com site. (I acknowledge the s...

I've managed to repair a few X220 and X230 units that had this same issue. I used a small spot of JB Weld imbedded with a small finishing nail laid across the break for extra reinforcement in the area shown in the photograph here . You just need to remove the screen bezel and temporarily push aside ...

How does one roll back the Bios to the 1.28 version as per earlier post to maximize the speed of 16gb ram on my x220. I too would like to rejuvenate my x220, right now I have bios version 1.40. Thank you. If you'd rather not roll back there's a modified version of the 1.40 BIOS that unlocks 1866MHz...

Thanks. My apologies. I've been reading lot of Thinkpad Hackintosh threads after a few years of being out of touch with OSX86 stuff and missed that. Where does the x230 stand wrt 10.10.5? If you can guide/ link me to a relevant knowledgebase I'd appreciate it. Thanks again. I'm pretty sure the 10.1...

The sidebar on the right side of the guide has the status of updates. It indicates "OS X 10.10.5 Update – installs with no issues"

You're right, the DW1510 shouldn't be the source of any trouble. I'm really not sure what might be going on with the wifi switch. If you install a different version of GenericUSBXHCI.kext using Kext Utility then you shouldn't need to remove anything first. Kext Utility will take care of making a bac...

Hi John - first of all thanks a lot for your extraordinary useful guide installing OSX on the x220. I followed it to the letter to successfully install El Capitan and Win 10 on my x220 core I7. Nevertheless two little quirks are remaining: 1. USB 3.0 Port is not working despite using the latest Gen...

Followed the guide for El Capitano on X220 and it is working fine. The only problem, that i have: The webcam is not working. Telling me that no camera is connected. Anybody has a solution for that? The webcam should work without any additional configuration. You might try disconnecting any peripher...

I have an x220 with a 2.6GHz i5-2540M CPU and 16GB of DDR3 1866 Crucial Ballistix Sport RAM. The BIOS is a modified version of 1.40 with adjustable RAM speeds. Ran a couple quick benchmarks using PC Benchmark from Jujuba Software. Memory set to 1333MHz gave these results: - GPU Compute: 162.01 speed...

x301 CPU is C2D means 1.5V and 2Rx8 memory (16 chips). Same with 1st gen i core series as well. If any memory 1Rx8 for 4GB per stick, will not work. Cheers, thinkpadcollection That seems logical, but Kingston's KHX1600C9S3K2/8GX are 1Rx8 4GB modules and are confirmed to be working correctly in the ...

My understanding is that Clover will only boot UEFI installations of Windows, including Windows 10.
Sorry, I can't tell from your comment if this is what you have already tried.

I recently ran benchmarks on a couple mSATA drives in my x301 (2776-32U, SU9600 CPU, BIOS 3.16) with an Aleratec mSATA SSD to 1.8" SATA Drive Converter.

Hmm.. It appears that sound is working. I tried as you suggested and heard a very familiar jingle sound when the installation completed. However, it's extremely faint - even with the sound turned all the way up. Under VoodooHDA settings, is there anything that can adjust the sound levels? I've trie...

Thank you, johnmcdonnell for the hard work in documenting your install. I've followed your steps but for some reason, I cannot get the sound working at all? I happen to have 2 X220 machines and have followed the steps but neither seem to work. I'm using 10.10.3 if that helps. If you have any ideas,...

Another 4GB module that I can confirm works fine in the ThinkPad x301: Elpida PC3-12800 (DDR3-1600) EBJ41UF8BDU5-GN-F CL11 16c 256x8 DDR3-1600 2RX8 1.5v I'm compiling a list of RAM modules that have been verified as working or problematic in the x301. That list (along with some other x301 resources)...

Can confirm that Bluetooth 4.0 daughter card (FRU 60Y3303) works perfectly in my ThinkPad x220.

I cannot make that working for me, Maybe you can point out what is wrong in my process. I use CarbonCopyCloner latest version - 30 days full features trial. I downloaded from its official web site. My working source disk called "MAC HD" -- 128 GB SSD My destination disk formatted as GPT disk, named...

I can always make it to boot into OsX, but everytime i choose win8 at boot, it just prompt a black screen and sits there. Any suggestions ? You may have already tried this, but there's a guide to configure Clover for the kind of situation you're dealing with here: http://www.tonymacx86.com/multi-bo...

I have been trying to dual boot osx with Win8, and I can't configure Clover to do it. I've followed many guides on the internet, so far I don't have any succes, after installing both OS, and at clover bootloader, I can only boot osX the win8 icon is there but when I choose it, nothing happens the s...

I used the original Kext, and indeed that the VGA output works when it's plugged in from the boot, when unplugged the VGA cable I was not able to use the VGA output again, I tried the ( detect display button, but it doesn't detect the extern monitor, a reboot is needed. Btw did you managed to get t...
