I'm surprised you managed to get a T7300 to 0.85v. When I was undervolting X60's and X61's I couldn't reduce the voltage of the lowest multiplier from the default (usually between .925v and .975v), either on Windows (using RMClock) or Linux.

AFAIK there aren't any socketed mobile CPUs after the Haswell generation.

From what I hear, the Bluetooth versions had annoying issues regarding input lag.

O.O Who is this monster? This is an amazing achievement! What a crazy thing to imagine though, the keyboard would not have played well with the motherboard you would think - it is sized and angled like that as a feature, and will need some work to be compatible with other planars! IIRC, the 600X ke...

The 760ED doesn't have built-in LAN, so you need a Cardbus LAN adapter (or maybe wifi) to even have the option of installing from LAN. Modern OSes are unusable on an ancient Thinkpad like this one, due to: * Pentium I CPU is too slow, doesn't have MMX, SSE extensions. * max RAM is well below the min...

Want to know the actual capacity of the hard drive? Use tools like CrystalDiskInfo or HD Tune. They also display the HDD's diagnostic/self-monitoring data (S.M.A.R.T.) so you'll have a peek at the drive's performance and health.

1: Nice build.

2: Get those pictures off img tags before the mods get you!!

Resize them. IMO the pictures are needlessly large.

^ The HP. It's the one with the i5-5200u processor, as seen in the picture you linked: https://image.ibb.co/cE92nS/Sysinfo_HPsmaller.jpg See the i5-5200u's specs: http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/Core_i5/Intel-Core%20i5-5200U%20Mobile%20processor.html , in particular, the memory controller. It mentions...

I seem to collect a lot of the 80 to 120 GB HDD that came with T60/T61/T500 generation of Thinkpads. They are great for distro testing. Pop the SSD out of one of my Thinkpad, in goes a test HDD. Load distro, play, abuse and use. ^ Good idea. Related question: anyone tried "Flash on Disk" modules? F...

^
Haswell and Broadwell (which your i5-5200u belongs to) require DDR3L, which runs at 1.35v (compared to 1.5v on regular DDR3).

For those of you running Debian, how do you get wireless working? I think I'd like the stability and weight of Debian. Most wifi chipsets require binary-only firmware, which Debian frowns upon. However, for the sake of convenience, there are unofficial builds of the Debian installer ISOs which cont...

Debian (with Xfce desktop environment) on all the Thinkpads I've owned.

Zaz, Blackstuff.. I am so confused. The memory I am trying to buy says PC3-12800 DDR3-1600 SODIMM so I assume it has a frequency of 1600 the stuff I have in my laptop says: speed 800 Mhz = 800x2=1600. Do they have the same frequency? Yes. DDR stands for Double Data Rate. So the clock speed is 800MH...

Another thread on a Thinkpad 500 might hold some answers:https://forum.thinkpads.com/viewtopic.p ... 3&p=744623

You will not fit a T60/T61 panel in X220 / X230 shell. I don't know where you got the T60/61, but I specifically mentioned X 60T/61T, AKA X60 / X61 Tablet . But you're right, it won't fit in the X220 chassis. I was under the impression that the question was about single-channel LVDS in general, and...

A single-channel LVDS cable has just enough bandwidth to support 1366x768 @60Hz.

Yes it is.

The highest resolution I've seen on a single-channel LVDS is 1400x1050 on the X60T/X61T. Also notable is the 1440x900 screen on the X200.

I have read that it works but with traditional displays, no touch capabilities On the very first post on Nitrocaster's thread https://forum.thinkpads.com/viewtopic.php?f=43&t=122640#p792251 , there's this part: Q: Does this mod support X220T/X230T? A: No. It's technically possible to design special...

IIRC Nitrocaster's FHD kit won't fit in an X220T.

^ The SuperSpeed software you mentioned is interesting, and quite useful if one is stuck with 32-bit Windows. Fortunately I'm free from such restrictions. :D Sadly as pointed, there is no spare RAM in an X60s, its chipset won't allow. The issue is the 32-bit memory address space of the Intel 945 chi...

I remember the one thing I wasn't able to acomplish was setting the Windows paging file (virtual memory) in the ram-disk. It allowed it to be configured and all but in practice it just didn't seem to function. When operating system runs out of free RAM (like when opening too many browser tabs), it ...

Put in a wifi card from a non-Thinkpad laptop. With the stock BIOS, you'll be greeted with the 1802 error and system halt. With Middleton BIOS successfully flashed, the laptop will continue booting.

It's the one i used to read when I still had a 760XD.

Here’s a suggestion: Lenovo can come up with a limited production run or something to test the waters. Maybe a special edition emphasizing the retro squarish display that is limited to 5000 devices and is sold at a premium. Oh wait... :lol: :lol: Good one there. Reminds me of 51nb's X210, with a 12...

The mod you linked requires removing the left speaker.

IMO better get one or two spare heatsinks.

If you ever botch the mod and irreversibly damage the heatsink, you'll have a ready replacement at hand.

Good luck!

Based from http://thinkwiki.org/wiki/TFT_display , WUXGA screen for the W700 is the Samsung LTN170CT01. A quick google search gives this datasheet https://www.touchandscreen.de/mediafiles/Datasheets/SAMSUNG/LTN170CT01-L01.pdf . Apparently it's the W700 screen because of the FRU # in the datasheet ma...

Two questions: 1. Where exactly will you put them? 2. Will the heatsink still fit inside the laptop after attaching those? 5.4mm isn't exactly thin. IIRC in T61 nVidia models, there's a thermal pad between the GPU and the heatsink. Some guys replace the thermal pad with a copper shim (a small piece ...

You probably need to replace the LCD cable (which carries the digitizer's signals) as well.

The small circuit board with the label wrapped around it? It's the Bluetooth module. Check the X220 HMM parts list.

That's an interesting setup. I never would've guessed that they would use magnets and a Hall Effect sensor, but I thought they would've hid a microswitch somewhere in the hinge mechanism. My T42 has a switch that is clearly visible, so I guess that's where I got that thought. I suppose the idea is ...
