Re: x220/x230 FHD/ WQHD 2K mSATA/USB3.0

Re: non lenovo hard drive bay adaptor in ultrabase3

You are talking about hdd/sdd 9.5mm caddy for dvd bay ? or i got something wrong

My 2euros plastic caddy from aliexpress Works great in ultrabase3 with X220

Try moving caddy to left, right, and more forward but gently. Maybe it didnt make good contact.

Re: Upgrading X220/X230 to FHD 1080p

I ordered from him spb4, 4 days ago. I wrote to him in message, that i want exactly spb4.

I think he means do you want spb4 or spb3

Re: X220 FHD Upgrade?

Thank you for your effort.

I know display port on the left side keeps working after doing this mod; but
