Re: [X230] best way to connect two 3.5" HDD to build a NAS?

And creative on the power brick for the HDD that is the sticking point, they need 12v so a bit more complex. the 65watt for the x230 should be more than a...

Re: "1vyrain" - xx30 ThinkPad Jailbreak - Overclocking, Advanced Menu, ME Disable, Whitelist automated unlock with softw
With many thanks to RealBlackStuff I managed to recover the laptop. But yet there is another issue. the mod messed with fingerprints saved in BIOS so I got them all erased and tried to re-enrolled them. And that throws the following error: https://i.imgur.com/njzCZXt.png I'm wondering if this issue...

Hi all I purchased an additional power supply for my x230 it was actually a travel one (like this, but not from this seller https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Lenovo-ThinkPad-90W-Travel-AC-Adapter-Laptop-Charger-41R0144/124196949380?hash=item1ceab70d84:g:ygIAAOSwA2heyIYT) But when I plugged it in, the lapto...
