Re: 51nb 8th generation intel x201 motherboard

The parcel with my board arrived yesterday evening, you can find some pictures here. It's not completed yet but so far it seems to be working well.

Re: Upgrading X220/X230 to FHD 1080p

It fits almost perfectly, I did compare it when I received it with the LP125WF2-SPB3: https://meettechno.eu/wiki/NV125FHM-N62 I needed to make slide modifications to the bezel since it comes a bit close to the hinges but it fits rather well.

I did get it from here

I must say the soldering was a bit tricky, specially to get the dock connections right.

Re: X201 wqxga screen from 51nb. Any Ideas how to buy one?

I did order one and it is just on the way atm, I did order via superbuy.com, but as far as I know it will not just work with a x201 since it also requires you to have the custom 51nb motherboard with a 8th generation intel CPU. The edp connector on the standard x201 mother board is not usable with t...

Re: Upgrading X220/X230 to FHD 1080p

Did anybody here buy NV125FHM-N62 screen to install it with the kit? I definitely remember that somebody bought a screen that has not been tested with the kit yet and said he wants to try it. P.S.: Packing first 24 paid orders. I know, I said I'll ship on the weekend. I always fail with these estim...

Re: 51nb 8th generation intel x201 motherboard

I am trying to get one of the x210 boards from https://weidian.com/item.html?itemID=2205138453 did some one already order a board to Europe? Since as far as I saw it is not possible to fill in a European address in the web shop, how did you do it?

Re: Upgrading X220/X230 to FHD 1080p

Well actually the SPB3 has less colors than the SPB4 -> http://www.panelook.com/modelcompare.php?ids=24654,29324,25936 I got a set of SPB4 here: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Free-Shipping-LP125WF2-SPB3-LP125WF2-SPB4-B125HAN02-0-LTN125HL02-301-Pin-LCD-LED-Display-SCREEN/32809228844.html?spm=a2g0s....

Re: Upgrading X220/X230 to FHD 1080p

I will do the test ;) the specs looked quite good, 16.7M Colors like the SPB4, a little higher viewing angle and it's still in production.

Re: New battery for X201 or brand new ThinkPad

If you plan to change the motherboard of your x201 this might be interesting for you:

but it is more of a diy project.

Re: Upgrading X220/X230 to FHD 1080p

Since it is not stated in the info post I wonder will I need a 30 or 40 Pin dispaly? For this mod the cable stays the same so it should be 40 pins right?
