1440x900 LCDs weren't AFFS. They only made 1280x800 AFFS displays.

Oh, ok. Too bad. Are either of these displays slot-in replacements, anyways?

I'm looking to upgrade my X200's dying CCFL display and am finding conflicting information online. Am I correct in thinking that all X200s/X201s came with a 1440x900 WXGA+ display with LED backlight and AFFS (early IPS equivalent) technology? Am I simply able to buy an X200s/X201s display (such as t...

I recently picked up an X301 but the main battery slot under the palmrest is empty! Does anyone have a main battery for the X300/X301 that they're not using? It can be the ThinkPad Battery 49 (3 cell) or the ThinkPad Battery 49+ (6 cell), just not the Ultrabay battery. It can be completely worn down...

If you don't need to go online, the official Windows XP for tablet still works fine. I have that on my X41t (that is just gathering dust nowadays). I lost my original installation of XP Tablet PC Edition and, despite trying many options, couldn't ever find a copy for download online. This is probab...

I vaguely remember someone on these forums mention there was a hardware constraint on the X41 Tablet that prevented Windows 10 from being successfully installed, making 8.1 the newest version of Windows to be compatible. Is this true? If it is, why is this, specifically?

Sounds like this is not a problem. I seen this before since linux distro do strange things with any storage stuff. Start up the linux distro installation and use partitioner to remove linux partitions and change from linux to NTFS tag and write new partition. This should will destroy the funny form...

Hello, I recently received a used W520 from Ebay, which came with no OS installed. I put in my own Samsung PM800 mSATA SSD and attempted to install Ubuntu. When I turned it on without any OS, the bootup process seemed completely normal, it went into the Intel boot agent and onto the "F12" select men...

I have an Ultrabase series 3 for my X230. I like to keep my computer in suspend mode when I'm not using it, but when I dock it into the Ultrabase while it's in suspend mode, it powers off. This is undesirable. Is this a bug or a feature? Can I prevent this from happening? OS: Arch Linux. I can see i...

Why not get an Ultrabase. It is a battery but with extra ports, a DVD drive, and your charging port. http://www.ebay.com/itm/04W6846-x220-x230-Lenovo-UltraBase-Series-3-0-Docking-Station-Optical-included-/253203581250?hash=item3af41c0942:g:Gz4AAOSwxbtZpu9j Thank you! I did not realize these go for ...

The charging port on my X230 is becoming loose. I could replace it, but with my usual daily procedure of taking the laptop out and around for the day and only coming back home to charge it (I never carry around my charger, and I always charge the computer at the same spot on my desk) I was instead c...

I'll sell you my X41T (1866-EG3) in excellent condition, which has the complete XP-Tablet installed on a 60GB HD.
PM me if interested.

I don't need another computer! I just need installation media!!

I own a ThinkPad X41 Tablet, that no longer has Windows XP Tablet Edition installed on the hard drive. I installed base Win XP Professional and it's fine, but I'd really like to use the around-screen buttons, and afaik those only work with the Tablet Edition. Finding an ISO on the internet has been ...

I've been thinking about buying a new laptop, and I'm leaning towards a refurbished W520 as opposed to a newer high spec laptop, mostly because of the keyboard and lower price. I'll want to upgrade to 16GB of RAM and a better drive, but I have several questions. Is there any major difference betwee...
