Thinkpads Forum

This is my X32 which has been my workhorse since I got to school. Unfortunately I've reached the point where I need a machine with a little more graphics power and have to let this guy go.

It's on eBay now.

The LCD is the one I transplanted in my write-up here, it is from an X41 tablet:

It has been 100% stable and has survived everyday travel and use.



I will note that there is on the top-left side a bright spot on the LCD, this is because the backlight is under a small amount of pressure. If you disassemble it and do a little tweaking it can go away, but I have not had the time to do so. It is only visible on a fully black screen. It is featured in one of the photos. There are some fingerprints in this photo too, those are unrelated.



The motherboard it currently has is from an X31, so it has a 1.7GHz Pentium M. I have an X32 motherboard lying about with a 1.8GHz Pentium M and twice the L2 cache, and it does work, so I can include it for an additional $30.



The top case is in good condition without a palmrest crack. It is an X30 case that I modified to fit onto an X32. The handiwork is fairly neat and unless you are looking for differences it looks stock. I had to make cuts for the fan outlet and the USB port since the X30 positions these differently.




I have two chargers and the dock for it as well. The battery is a new non-OEM one that gets about 3 hours with medium brightness and constant wi-fi use.

I forgot to mention, it will come with either a wiped hard drive or some flavor of linux, your choice. I do not have the install discs so I can not provide it with Windows XP, though it does have a license on the bottom.

Do you happen to have the original LCD? I'm looking for one...

I don't, but one from an X40, X41, and probably an X60 / etc will work.

I very enthusiastically destroyed the old TN panel.

Still available, I don't want to throw it on eBay...

I'm about to purchase a X41 tablet screen to repair mine. Is it true that you just flip the original cable to get it working? Well, that and physically trimming and such but the electric part is what concerns me.

Yes, in my writeup I explain that it is simply flipped over.

I threw it on eBay. I hope one of you gets it as opposed to anyone less knowledgeable about the machines.
