Don't know whether this is a hardware related problem or just Windows.

I'd recommend you to install MacType software for Windows (mactype dot net).
Pretty good font rasterizer. Also it's free. Give it a try.
There's a chance you will like the results.

Hi my answer here would be a bit inappropriate, but I still want to give you an advise. Get some modern WWAN card and get rid of that outdated card. Not only you will get a better speeds and connectivity, but also you will face a lot less problems with the installation. X61 does support a wide range...

Hey mifritscher,

glad to have you onboard!
Could you describe this X62T, please? Does the touch-function (pen/finger) work as intended?
I suppose there's no point in building X62T only for the chassis.
Thanks!

To Whitelabel: Thanks for your instructions. I have succeeded installing a MC7710 into the mSata slot. I would never have attempted or even come by this idea if not for your pioneering. Do you know the speed of the internal USB? I read somewhere that your MC7455 needs USB 3 to reach the CAT6 speeds...

Many thanks for the option for enabling that legacy theme! :) I just cant accept the new one. A bit of re-desing is sure wont hurt, but the complete change is too much, IMHO. Always should take some extra steps when doing such deep work. And again thanks a lot for this! Much appreciated. :bow: :thum...

I'm using Sierra MC7455 with this external SIM holder: ( _http://www.ebay.com/itm/Usim-sim-card-socket-slot-solderless-holder-For-mini-pci-e-module-3G-WWAN-Modem-/391659521304 ) Thanks. Do you know which pins where connected? Is it enough with just two cables to pin 36&38? They're called usb d+ and...

Hey hey! Right now my upper mpcie slot has the LTE-A modem (with the SIM holder) in it. Nice job! Do you have a modem with a sim holder on it, or did you attach it somewhere else? Which modem are you using? Hi! I'm using Sierra MC7455 with this external SIM holder: ( _http://www.ebay.com/itm/Usim-s...

Hey hey! Just wanted to let you know that it's absolutely possible to fix the upper mini pcie slot (MSATA) by manually providing it with some pins from the internal usb port. I've asked my friend to help me with this task. And he succeeded. 2 hours work. Right now my upper mpcie slot has the LTE-A m...

Hi everybody! I just got some interesting information from Jacky. He's always helpful. And I hope that I can share it with you. He said that there's an internal USB port. Check this pic: http://funkyimg.com/i/2rAUn.png (Size: 1.31 MB) I'm thinking about this option. Seems like I can solder my mini p...

I'm using SXGA -100 panel which was upgraded with the daylight kit from Monty. Can go working on a direct sunlight. No problem with it. Funny thing, but I'm not able to use my WWAN modem in the bottom slot. I just got some cheap SIM card holder with a bus line which should be connected to the mpcie ...

Thanks for your reply! Dammit! What a huge disappointment! I really thought that I can have them both.. Looks like there is no X62 for me anymore. unless there is some trick / mod to get the card to work. My T420/W520 can accept either a msata or WWAN in the second slot. I didn't deep-dive into the...

Hi folks! I'm asking for assistance. I'm trying to install a WLAN and a WWAN card into X62. So the idea is to have them both. However the WLAN card is not working in the upper slot and the WWAN card is also not working in that slot. They are working in the bottom slot though... So.. Any idea? it se...

As for the bios link - you need to remove the "https://" part from the link (pan.baidu.com/s/1i5yYD0L). And then you'll be able to start the download proccess. Hope you'll be lucky enough to accomplish this :) p.s. I will upload my unav driver tomorrow. It's an original file from lenovo. Can't remem...

Hey! Windowz user here. Is there any way to get that trackpad-middle button behavior back (scrolling)? Was someone able to fix this issue? Fix posted here I believe - https://www.facebook.com/notes/lcdfans/trackpoint-about-x62s-driver/1838140499786387 I don't use Windows so haven't tested. In linux...

Hi folks! Kindly asking for your assistance. This thing is blowing my mind. Is there any way of restoring the default CTRL-FN behavior on X61? I know it sounds strange, but I just can't restore it. Some guy installed a CTRL-FN swap feature (latest Middleton) and sold me a motherboard with this... su...

Hey! That's some AWESOME news right here
Sign me up for the "s"-kit, please.

Thank you!

Congratulations and thank you for sharing this review with us
Very unique and fabulous gem you got here. I like it.

If only these old X2/3/4- series laptops can go with the SXGA IPS panel...

Hi folks! I'm looking for a mobo for X61 with T9300 or T8300 CPU. The first one is preferable. In addition it should have a slot for a SIM card. And, of course, it has to be fully operational. I tried to find it, but no success. Therefore, if someone knows a place where one can order it, I'll be gra...

Thank you for the info! That's some really good news
I only hope that they will wind a way to sell it abroad. I'm sure there are lots of people who want this new mobo.

Could you inform us when they will be offering an international sale?

Cheers

I'm also interested in the converter kit for T420. However the full package (kit + screen) would be also nice.

There's a nice update pack available (A). You can use it to update your machine in auto mode. Also there's utility called Windows Updates Downloader (B). You can use it to manually download and install updates. (A-1) http://update7.simplix.info (russian) (A-2) http://forum.oszone.net/thread-257198.h...

Hi!

I know I'm a waaay too late on this topic, but still want to give it a try.
I'm looking for a X41 SXGA bios. Do someone happen to have it?
Tried to find it on my own, but no luck.

Would love to have a X41 with SXGA panel.

Thanks!

Hey folks! Could someone recommend me a properly working and reliable LED kit (driver and LED strip) for X61 with SXGA? I have read this topic several times, but I can not decide what driver and stips should I buy for this mod. I suppose I have to buy a LED driver from Monty (if its available) and s...

Thank you for the tip!
Just tried it with a black marker (like RBS said) and it worked like a charm

Any news on this one? March comes to an end and there're no updates from our chinese folks. Just spotted a deal on eBay where they sell a complete X61 packed with this mobo. I hope they will eventually come up with the "mobo-only" deal here or on eBay, because 3000$ for a complete laptop is too much...

wileE
Thank you for clarification! So, I still got two options. Not bad

Thank you, folks. You all were extremely helpful

Thanks for the valuable information, folks
So, there's no proper converter-board available, right?

Thank you for the useful info! Never heard of it.

Could you clarify is there any significant difference between HV150UX2-100 - HX150UX2-100 and this one which according to that link is HVT-150UX2-LE ?
Or am I confusing something?
