There is a white thin layer of plastic at the back of the screen. The pressure marks appear when that layer gets uneven. The unevenness can be fixed if it is permanently pressurized by something. Once i managed to fix it simply by moving the source of the pressure (it was cable). But if the pressure...

there is a better solution... What you need to do is to keep the screen a little bit further from the keyboard when it's closed. You may notice also that when the screen is closed and the locks have clicked into their places there is a little play allowing the screen to come closer to the keys or fu...

VPCSA. Fits with almost no trimming, I just had to remove the metal lip. The framerate at 1280x1024 is only 7 though, so if you know of one with a higher res / rate that fits, I'd be happy to know! The only fitting camera with high resolution that I know is the T410/T510/W510. But I had issues conn...

and what about heat comparison?
I am currently using a 6250 and it is much cooler than the original, but still not as cool as I would like. So are there other cooler alternatives?

UPDATE: Installed webcam in place of BT. Works great! Pics to follow. Great job, congratulations. I did the webcam mod as well. The problem with the driver of the BT connection seems to be related to the particular model of the camera that I was using. It works well with other models. BTW, which ca...

Still playing with it. BT port is glitchy, now building internal usb hub to connect all my added devices

The max resolution is 1280x1024
It is a VPCSA (SB is 640x480)
here is the link from ebay:

After playing with various cameras I finally found several that worked :P !!! The modules from some sony vpc-sc/b machines are fitting with some trimming and modifications of the cover/bezel. Also had success with certain endoscope cameras. Eventually, ended up with an hd camera from a Sony VAIO VPC...

I suspect that the problem with driver is that the system recognizes it as a generic usb webcam and tries to use it with the default 640x480 resolution. While the camera simply doesn't support that particular resolution. That's why it works with webcam viewer once you change default resolution while...

It just worked with another fan as far as I remember.

I have seen it twice with x61. Once, oiling of the fan helped, another time didn't.

for those who is looking for an x200s with 1440x900 screen.
Just came across this sale
http://budgetcomputer.ch/store/Notebook ... -oxid.html

It's a Swiss store, not sure if they will ship abroad though.

The bluetooth area can fit 32 x 8 mm. With some grinding may be 35 mm.

what about dimensions?

The first photo - what is it (partnumber, manufacturer)? I think it is very tiny webcam to start with. I dont want webcam now but who kows;) there are several cameras with distant lens that can theoretically be hacked to place separately from board, but couldn't find a USB one so far. here are few ...

Did you twist the 2 USB data wires together?

About 5mm and the are not twisted, they are wired to the opposite side of the board from different sides (see the pic).

Ok, so here are the details of recent "progress" The trimming I decided to make a hole on the right side to fix it same way as the bluetooth module is . This allowed to reduce the trimming area. pictures http://i.imgur.com/cAs5Aqf.jpg http://i.imgur.com/pFc0aIv.jpg http://i.imgur.com/gecc6vo.jpg its...

Done!

Amazing how you keep upgrading this already "middle-aged" laptop! :bow: that's the whole fun, upgrading a newer machine is not that challanging :lol: I have few newer machines (X1 Carbon, W510) and used to have several 12 inch X. None of them gives the same feeling of ergonomy and compactness as th...

Hi, I have been working on a webcam mod for my x61 recently, so would like to share with the results so far. As you know there is no much space inside the x61 screen to place a webcam. So for me there are two options: 1. a tiny webcam module from another model to be small enough to fit into the spac...

SXGA+ with touch done! The brightness doesn't seem to suffer at all. At least didn't notice anything (this particular screen is LED). Unfortunately, the film is more glossy than the glass, but not too much. The touch is quite responsive, just need to get used to high resolution when using finger (or...

Its 0.3mm, sorry for typo.
The wires are not an issue at all.
As for optical properties, haven't noticed any difference so far.
the sxga+ version is planned for tomorrow. Will do more pics

Managed to convince the manufacturer to sell me two touch films of 3mm 0.3mm thickness!!!
Got them yesterday. Will try with my extra led sxga+ screen now...

If there's a WWAN enable setting in the BIOS, try enabling it. Yes, it was on. Did you tape Pin 20? Otherwise all USB cards in that slot without FRU get switched off like you experienced. No, actually I didn't. Do you mean that they get switched off when machine goes to sleep? because the USB was w...

I don't know much hardware details about mpci slot, but can share my experience with it. As you may know I have made a touchpad mod on my x61 http://forum.thinkpads.com/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=114633 I had used the mpci to usb 2.0 adapter to connect it. The problem was that every time the machine was b...

I really hope this is a software problem and not a hardware problem, and if it's a hardware problem I hope it can be fixed by replacing the screen assembly, as I plan on doing that next week. Well checking if its a software issue is very simple, just install a windows 7 and see it it works. As for ...

The seller agreed to replace the screen, but as I have no much patience to wait until it reaches him and new one arrives, I decided to open it and to replace the damaged layer with the one from my old broken screen. Everything went smooth and now the clean build is done ! I have updated my first pos...
