Re: Mini PC, which one to choose?
Have a look at the Lenovo M900 Tiny . I got one (with the i5-6600T CPU) to replace my desktop tower. (The CPU is socketed, so can be upgraded). They are all over eBay for very reasonable prices. There are newer (but a lot pricier) models available as well, such as M910, M90Q or M75q (AMD). Other va...

There are sites like Superbuy that handle the translation and export process.

I have some random cables and bits for the W701. I can catalog what I have in a few days, but I think it sums up to around one machine.

Re: WTB: Known, working keyboard for 760XL
All else fails I'd message the eBay sellers asking if all the keys work, and if it doesn't work properly on arrival, open a defective item claim and return it.

Re: W701/W701DS Whitelist Bios
It'll be better for sure. Increased speed depends on your BIOS though. Personally I'd recommend an AX200 in an adapter, or modifying the chinese mPCIe version to have both antennas connected. Sorry to bump an old thread, but do you have any more information on these mPCIE AX200 cards, or a link to ...

Re: W701ds - any way to disable dGPU?
You can boot Linux on the W701ds without any hardware hacking. I've done it. You just have to boot with the nomodeset parameter until you install the proprietary Nvidia 340xx drivers and then everything works fine.

Re: Scammer?
That's not as true any more. Banks are wanting to encourage the use of their services and you might be able to get them to reverse that charge, especially as it's only $35 and they'd rather keep your business.

It'll fit, but you'll be putting stress on the SSD. With a $1300 SSD I wouldn't take the risk.

Very well done. It'd be great if you could publish your wiring so we could make a custom PCB adapter maybe. As for the LCD, use the one from the X13 Gen 2 - it's a 13.3" 1920x1200 panel so it should fit perfectly and be 16:10. The panel model number is NV133WUM-N61 (there may be others) and it isn't...

ThinkPad 701C POST error 102
Hello again everyone,
I have a ThinkPad 701C that gets to a POST error 102 on startup. Not sure what it is, but I can't bypass it. This is running with the speaker, mic, hdd, modem and all other boards disconnected.
Any ideas on if this is fixable or do I need a new board?
Thanks.
