Long story short, I made a booboo. Managed to accidentally remove two of the solder point collets when desoldering the card (wanted to show a friend) so I guess I need to get another. How's your preorder list looking, is the next batch filled?

i know that feel.

Update, going to ship my laptop, kit, screen off to nitrocaster to troubleshoot.
*fingers crossed*

tried to install the fhd mod today, didnt go too well ;_; What did happen? what did not go so well? I master destroying things, but at the end I could it make it work... so maybe I can help... a few problems, first there was noise on the screen, static like flickering pixels, and while trying to fi...

Received the LCD today from win0win, now just waiting on the kit

all x220 tablets are IPS. there are no TN x220t.
also, $250 is a bit too high for the device. Try flashing coreboot and disable intel ME, it should also remove any computrace stuff.

all these installation issues... i am spooked

Delta fans seems to be quieter, according to some user experience. https://yadi.sk/i/msYPZFGvzhy2Z (the one in the bottom) I have that Delta fan in my x230, its actually pretty noisy, had to use a custom fan profile to keep the sound down to a reasonable level. http://i.imgur.com/Dbs2LUF.jpg Admin ...

Why are people repeatedly asking the same questions ? What is so hard to understand ??

imo qhd might be too overkill for the x230

i remember you said something about a kernel patch to disable LVDS to save power, how would i go about doing that ?

you should consider releasing the design publicly Why? So that others can re-create and up the costs? No, so other people can improve the design and/or fix problems. He could release it under the a license which restricts resale for commercial purposes(if that's what he want). By allowing other to ...

I still believe...

wew, cant wait

Regarding the cutouts, see this album . Ty - this looks now really great. I can't see any cutouts at the LCD Front Bezel - does it means this is not necessary? The active area of the display should be the same size as the stock one, only the increase from 1366x768 to 1920x1080 in resolution. So, i ...

much hype, do want, wow.

Is there a way to perform this mod without it affecting the display port on the docking station but rather the internal display port instead? I'm asking because I'm using the laptop docked most of the time on my desk with an external 27" 4k display connected via display port to the docking station....

Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

Get an X230 instead, and then put an X220 classic keyboard in it! Why do you suggest it? I have low budget and usually X230is 50/70€ (80/100$) of difference from X220. Buy a keyboard apart would take 50€ more incl. shipping because in Europe (shipping to Italy) prices are more high. Buy both a x220...

No, it doesn't. However, depending on what interface you use to connect external monitor, brightness control may be lost (fixed at 100%). So do you mean that if I attach my x220 to a monitor via displayport, I could use both screns (LCD and monitor)? I guess I'm a bit confused because in one of the...
