Hi,
I looking for a modded cable (not an adapter) for SXGA+ conversion of x61.

And what would be the price with both fan options?

Hi, There are many discussion threads on x62, but sometimes it is very difficult to get a clear picture on evolution of the boards from batch to batch. So I thought it would be great to summarize the differences among batches of x62. Here are the main topics for each batch: 1. hardware configuration...

improvements afaik

Hi, I am looking for x62 Kit, I have all the goodies to build a machine myself so the mobo with related parts is preferred.
But also open for machine offeres.

Looking for a motherboard (preferably not nvidia) for a reasonable price (complete machines are available for about $100)

Hi,
can someone advise a source to buy a 00HM745 LCD for an x240?
The sellers on eBay and Amazon send 00HM111 instead (Already returned two).

ATTENTION !!!!

This guy is a scum !!! I am another buyer of the same set. Same situation, always sorry, always saying will send the shipping receipt in few hours. Now not replying to the emails at all.

still looking for one

Thanks, nailed it! now what about the good lcd FRU?

hi, I am planning to upgrade an HD screen to a FHD on an x240. There are several FRU available on ebay. As I am quite new to x240 I was wondering which lcd is better? I heard about ghosting issues on some models. Could someone advise me the right model ? I was also wondering if there is some guide o...

hi,
need a motherboard either with intel graphics or post apocaliptic nvidia chip.


cheers

Just want to add that recently I decided to move on and get something newer. So I bought myself a google pixel 2 and installed linux. The machine was amazing in all aspects. But when I decided to check out my old x61, I packed the pixel and put it on a sale on ebay. Mainly because there was nothing ...

Does that make the X61s the no longer relevant anno 2015? I would say, it is still ok, if you are not going to watch online >=720 video. I've been looking at the thinkwiki.de website and note that the X61s is thinner at the back (where the fan is). Given this, does the X61s pump out as much heat wi...

The performance difference between x61s and x61 is essential. An x61 with 4-8gb and ssd is really robust enough for flawless daily use and even some java development in my case. For the later sxga+ screen mod is a must. The good thing about these machines is that all the limitations can be fixed (sc...

Good point! I can do a load test on bare motherboard and measure the temps. If the northbridge gets much hotter then definitely have to think of a different solution.

Is that a flat sheet of Aluminum? Better insulate the underside so that it doesn't short out other components. But IMO it's easier to use the magnesium chassis as a heatsink. For now its just piece of paper :). But yes The idea is to use flat sheet of aluminium, and yes it definitely need to be iso...

I think it is more related to the southbridge. I am thinking about extending the original heat-sink to reach the chip. Here is a possible solution: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1V59oAFpKB096ullVqgX2Stirvhun5Vb7ew/view?usp=sharing the only obsticle on its way might be the sim card slot (for some m...

Lave Vahan-jan! :) shnorhakal em :) Part of me says "Looks good" while the other says "make it a bit more like the leather case on the X61 Reserve Edition". :D Well, the idea is to keep it compact. The protection is not my main goal actually, just to make it look more classy. Besides, knowing the h...

Have been thinking about nice leather on the LCD back for a while, but the only option I could find was a simple decal from ebay. So I decided to visit a leather shop while visiting home town during the vacations. here are the initial results: https://goo.gl/photos/9YY3BADVZ3LP17jT6 then after some ...

it appears iCCFL is currently shipping LED strips well suited to AFFS screens. They have slightly less saturation than the custom strips I made by hand, but they're also slightly brighter. The whitepoint and overall color balance are good. And I ordered 30 of them to keep a backup stock on hand. I ...

upgraded the kernel to 4.0.4 version. Seem to be fine now. Thanks for the hints!

So does it mean there is no way to run a stable linux on x61?

Hi, I have installed Ubuntu Mate (15.4) on an x61 along side with W7. Everything went very smooth, all hardware was detected properly. The only problem is that the systems just freezes from time to time and the only thing I can do is force shutdown (with power button). The windows is working fine an...

I had lcd plus two screens buy using a usb to vga adapter from ebay on my t400. Worked flawless on windows. Costed about $30
