I'm looking for a replacement 04W2029 motherboard, and checking listings I see two associated what I assume are production numbers:
H0222-4 LKN-3 48.4KE27.041
H0222-4 LKN-3 48.4KE36.041
Is the second a later production version? Is there any difference between these?
Thanks!

Re: Did you install Win 11? How to install it on X300?
MikeMex - I can't help but agree. I've been using W10 for years on T-61's, T-420's, T-520's and W-520's and at this point it is rock-stable. I was recently given a new "Brand D" laptop, under-powered with 256 GB SSD, 8 GB RAM, and W11 Home to configure. After a 1 TB SSD and 16 GB RAM transpant, I fl...

Re: T420 (41786vu) and CPU upgrade to i7-2670QM bios update?
Also, if you are upgrading, you may be thinking of putting in something like an modded Intel AX-200 or AX-210 WiFi card (I use the Toulineua from AliExpress - it is an AX-200/210 core mounted on a mini PCIe card) . If you do, remember that the BIOS is "whitelisted" and you will need a modded BIOS to...

Re: Replacement keyboards for T420S?????????????????????
Sorry - E-bay is your best bet. Just make sure you ask the seller if ii is an OEM Lenovo and not a knock-off. The difference is that the knock-offs won't have the Lenovo FRU labels, and the printing around the "ThinkVantage" button will be off-color or too narrow. If that is the case, and you've bee...

Re: Water spill and T420 doesn't boot
Hopefully it's dried up by now. But other possibilities are: 1 . Put it in a plastic bag with Silica Gel desiccant (look on E-bay for it) in warm place. 2. Try putting it in the freezer with the keyboard off and if water is in there, it will freeze and then sublime (go from frozen to gaseous state) ...

I feel your pain - it must be annoying. But... Have you tried installing Win 10? Having just reloaded both a T-520 and a W-520 with version 21H1, can tell most drivers are included without searching (have yet to recheck my hand-curated store of Nvidia drivers).

Re: Incompatibility by design: 170W vs 135W vs 90W. Why?
I'm about to deal with this as my 170 w supply is about to lose its plug from bending next to the plug boot. I've read about 2 outer barrel contacts (to clue the motherboard as to what is attached) but mine certainly does not have that, nor does the power jack have that. I've read about the resistor...

T-420 04W2049 alternative motheboards
The standard discrete Nvidia NVS-4200-M GPU motherboard for the T-420 is 04W2049 in the Hardware Maintenance Manual's Parts List (with AMT and TPM). As I need to replace one, I have come across the following as "substitutes" - 63Y1347, 63Y1705, 63Y1997, and 63Y1812. I have personal experience with t...

I've replaced the motherboard in my T420. The board that was supplied is a 63Y1705 as a substitute for a 04W2049. When installing Windows 10 20H2, an error appeared for an Nvidia GeForce GT-520m GPU. This surprised me as the usual Nvidia GPU is the NVS-4200m. I am unable to find a driver for this. F...

To answer my own question. No need to fool with this hack.

Replacing W-500-520 Touchpad
The Touchpad for the W-500-520 is fixed in place with melted plastic studs holding the "U" shaped metal strips down.
Is replacing the Touchpad simply a matter of grinding down the studs, and then gluing the touchpad and strips back into place?
Thanks in advance.

Re: Latest Modded BIOS for W-520 (and T-420 and T-520)
Most likely not - BIOSs are quite specific for their own component configuration - the T-420, T-520 and W-520 are quite similar in that they all use Sandy Bridge, but the individual inventory of GPUs are somewhat different. Each BIOS has different stepping numbers that don't keep up with each other.

I have no experience with T/W-530 swaps into T/W-520's. Perhaps others can help you. Same goes for T/W-530 modded BIOS.
Others maybe able to point you in the right direction.
