X131e help
Realblackstuff I understand if you have to shut this thread down. My situation: I purchased a for parts Lenovo x131e on eBay with the hopes of refurbishing it and using it as a personal laptop. It did not have ram, a hard drive, the bottom cover, the battery, or the charger, but the screen appear to...

N23 Yoga
I hope I'm in the right place. I'm looking at purchasing a Lenovo Chromebook n23 yoga. These have a 4 or 8GB Ram module cast into the motherboard so it's not upgradable but there is a long SSD slot built-in on most of these. My question is does anybody know what the biggest SSD you can possibly put ...

Re: B50-45
Thanks for the update. I have 2x8 16GB ddr3l PC3 12800 Mushkin essentials. I tried today one stick at a time in each slot to no avail. Both sticks work fine at full 16gb in my X230t but it isn't compatible with my B50-45 for whatever reason

Re: B50-45
Okay so I picked up the laptop today and I tried swapping over the 16 gigs ram that I had in my x230t and it threw it into a bootloop. I've tried resetting the CMOS and it's not working.

Controller support
So my x230t has a USB 3 and a USB 2, but when I plug in my Logitech f310 controller neither one of them read that it is an optical device. I have downloaded Logitech Controller driver program and that has not helped. Any suggestions?

Re: X230t best OS
Now I am looking for something suitable to use in bed. Perhaps an X of some kind. My idea behind the X230t is having a compact long battery life computer for deployment. It's nice because I can lie the screen flat as a tablet to watch movies or just leave it flip open. It has tons of entertainment ...

Re: Lenovo all in one conversion
Just get a VESA compatible MiniITX case and be done with this. There is no point in modding an M72 when a much easier solution exists. Also look into MicroITX and NanoITX boards. What are you trying to do that requires a custom board? The current case that is in I think is a vesa. It's an eMachine ...

So I'm officially downloading the Windows 7 Pro ISO file that should work with my COA that came with this computer. I will boot it's from the disc and test it out and see if it solves some of my issues with torrenting. Looking forward to letting everyone know the result.

Re: X230t best OS
What are you not impressed with? Mine runs exceptionally well on 10 considering it's age. What is so impressive about it's performance? A 6th-7th gen CPU from 2015-16 has the same performance as your X230...even if it is less efficient. That's another issue I see in the future with Windows 10. They...

X230t best OS
I have been running my X230t with Windows 10 and I am honestly not impressed. I have much more experience with Windows 7 (I have a COA for it) but I'm worried about loss of touchscreen functionality.
Honest opinions from x230t owners only please, Is it better with 7 or 10?

Sorry voice text doesn't always worth the greatest on my mobile phone.

That is probably the closest ...

You need to look for do you Lenovo service manual or maintenance manual. If you are Googling 'Lenovo schematic' that's probably why you're not finding anything.

Re: WTB - X230 or X230T (i5 or i7) 8GB
Honestly eBay is going to be your best option. The x230 series is a really good laptop with a lot of expansion capability. I picked up my i7 x230t and the guy thought that it only had 4 gigs of RAM. When I opened it up it would already have the 16 gig ram install, and it came with the non-touch scre...
