Connecting Sharp 14" 1600x1200 UXGA LQ141U1LH02
Hi guys, I am going to resurrect an old topic that has been discussed a lot. I did searched a lot to find my answers, but unfortunately still can not resolve the problem. So here is my situation: Finally managed to find this rare screen (Sharp 14" 1600x1200 UXGA LQ141U1LH02) to mount on my 14" t601....

1600x1200 resolution on x62!
Turns out due to the fact that x62 boards use edp instead of lvds you can actually scale your sxga+ panel to show uxga. It works and works well! Frankly, maybe its my eyes, but I can not tell noticeable degradation on image quality. Of course if I could compare with native 12.1 inch uxga screen I mi...

Re: 3x2 lcd on x230 doable?
From what I've read, the Intel HD 4000 doesn't support 60Hz refresh rate at resolutions above 2560x1600, so it's best to stick to 1440p. in such case I will have to consider x201 with P130ZFA-BA1 (13.0" 2160×1440) as it has more vertical space on the lid. It alsoo supports up to 2560x1600 on displa...

the vertical space available on an x230 lid is about 194mm, horizontal about 296mm if we take LP130QP1-SPA1 http://www.panelook.com/LPM130M364_JDI_13.0_LCM_overview_40104.html it should fit. the main issue is the controller there are these contrillers available https://www.aliexpress.com/item/330108...

modern fancontrol for linux
hi,
I have tried all fan control programs and scripts for t61 from thinkwiki and elsewhere. all of them seem to be obsolete for modern distros (mine is Mint 19.3 with 5.3 kernel).
Is the re any modern alternative?

Any Idea where I can find unlocked chips of 533 and 800 ram?

grey x61 keyboard, what is it?
Hi,
got my hands on an x60/61 keyboard with greyish key caps (all keys). Is it something special? Never seen one like this before.
tactile feedback is a bit more springy, but don't know if its the intention or the fact that the kb is in good shape.
Any ideas?

And also it easily adjusts to higher capacity cells. The bodies of these batteries are much weaker and get fully destroyed when trying to o...
