I hope it isn't to late.. i'm having issues with the touchscreen after installing Win10, simply won´t work.
I run the diagnostic from Lenovo website and it says it´s up to date.

Please give me a light!

I think the X220 doesn't have touch screen functionality?

Look, its easy, personal machines have to run linux, work machines provided by your employer mainly will run Windows, go for W10, ask admin password to remove as much crap and telemetry as possible and move on. Do not do personal computing on the corporate machine. Enjoy life and drink a beer, salud...

Run memtest with a linux distro of choice... If ram related, memtest will show it. No need to swap ram at all to diagnose potential ram related issue

Debian! Boycotting this poll

Use Debian. It just works. The distribution focuses on keeping software versions stable between major releases. Ubuntu is going down the same path as Windows. There is absolutely zero reason to use any of the Debian derivatives these days. Every layer added on top of Debian introduces a layer of se...

Since you will have 2 separate drives, it is possible to install Linux on your new mSATA SSD without touching anything on your main 2.5 inch HDD. To prevent any possibility of screwing up, simply put the mSATA SSD in, remove the 2.5 inch HDD, and install Linux as if it's your only OS. When the inst...

AFAIK on laptops nobody uses a capacitor to keep the time/date, they all use CMOS. (And I know nothing about XBOX). Which makes your post a bit confusing, because you keep talking about CMOS and keeping time and removing a capacitor... According to this post , if you remove that cap, it won't boot....

if you are waiting for a hack of the last 2 xbox generations, you can start to lose your faith and doubt there will ever be a hard or soft mod in the wild. sell it, and buy an exploitable PS4 :mrgreen: the good old days from the original xbox and 360 wont come back. but never say never, our pandemic...

it s linux, all the wisdom is freely available online. it will work out of the box; and keep working! do not worry Doubt you've ever heard anything similar from anyone working at Lenovo. people buy laptops with linux pre-installed to be 100% sure all hardware is supported by the linux kernel and to...

Just curious, for those who have purchased a ThinkPad specifically with a pre-installed Linux on it, have you ever had to contact support for anything? If so, what is their attitude like? it s linux, all the wisdom is freely available online. it will work out of the box; and keep working! do not wo...

No idea... I can just say that the knock off palm rests from aliexpress do work

I think 1-3-3-1 beep means faulty memory. Try to re-seat both memory modules. If not solved, run memtest to see if your memory is ok. And yes, do you use external monitor as advised above until resolved...

I bought a cheap Chinese battery that came today and... it works!!

So, that it was. Thank you very much!

Now dont forget to buy the fire insurance upgrade as well

Debian with XFCE or window manager of choice...

What a sham! (This applies not (yet) to Thinkpads, but to their Android tablets/phablets.) Avoid items with such crappy behaviour from a company that is becoming crappier with each model!

Ok, so lets wait until he confirms he has some kind of linux flavour booting, whether it is live boot usb, wsl2 or full linux install to guide him further!

He said: I do not want to install Linux on any of my machines. It is pointless to me aside from getting this EC patch to work. With this, what do you want to achieve? I want A but I dont want B to achieve A? I added all important info to have him moving in to the right direction. But simplified expl...

There is no need to insult me. I have spent a lot of time trying to figure this out on my own. Linux does not make sense to me as a lifetime windows user. there is zero insulting, you just need to show intention to actually be willing to learn or pay someone in your surroundings to do the task for ...

You spend more time in cursing about Linux, meanwhile whining that you cannot figure out thinkpad-ec. Maybe Linux is useless for people like you who can't f*ck¡ng spend 30min reading guidelines. And it is called Terminal, it is the main tool for managing your Linux system, the GUI is secondary part ...

All these commands shown are perfectly working under Linux WSL2. The actual flashing of your EC is done via booting from USB. Sounds interesting. Never tried it. So what would OP need to do? I'm also interested how to do this under WSL2. So would apt-get work too? Sure, look on how to install Debia...

Hamish guide says: "This software expects to be run under Linux (real Linux, not Microsoft Windows Linux subsystem).".....doesn't your w10 Debian WSL2 Linux conflict this? All these commands shown are perfectly working under Linux WSL2. The actual flashing of your EC is done via booting from USB. B...

https://github.com/hamishcoleman/thinkpad-ec What's not to understand? It is step by step documented. Or do you struggle with Linux and command line? Learn Linux, you will have to one day! Install in your w10 Debian WSL2 Linux, should be the easiest way for non Linux users... Embrace Linux or settle...

Say no to DRM restricting usage in such nasty way! I was heavily involved in console modding since I was a teenager. Modchipped and exploited all consoles and handhelds since psx era until ps3 era, due to family duties, no longer into this great domain of wasting time but I hope for you the Xboxone ...

Well it system requirements are Windows 10, Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2019, Windows Server 2016 https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/microsoft-365-and-office-resources#coreui-heading-5dcqxz4 I think you are confusing office 365 with the newly announced windows 365. 2 completely different...

Who needs W11 if you have W365 :lol: :lol: so in theory I can run the latest version of windows on my ThinkPad 600X through a browser or even bring my 560X out of retirement :lol: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-365 Enlighten yourself. They made the people angry with TPM requirements to sne...

Who needs W11 if you have W365

Yes, you can convert MBR to GPT, but GPT does not mean UEFI. When you deploy Windows to a UEFI-based device, you must format the hard drive that includes the Windows partition by using a GUID partition table (GPT) file system. Additional drives may use either the GPT or the master boot record (MBR)...

If there is a way around that, I am not aware of it.

Yes, there is, MBR2GPT: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/window ... mbr-to-gpt
