SOLD: x230 motherboard with installed FHD-mod and Bios-Patches

#1 Post by cherryblue » Tue Nov 14, 2017 11:19 am

I have a spare X230 Motherboard with installed FHD-Mod (rev 4) by nitrocaster and are willing to sell it.
Installed is a Core-i5 3320M CPU. I switched to a Core-i7 therefore I sell this motherboard.

What will you get:
* the pure motherboard with PC-Card cage and Bios battery (no cooling unit installed!)
* installed, ready to use FHD-mod by nitrocaster (rev4).
* cable to connect FHD panel with this mod
* installed, modded BIOS for use with X220 keyboard and removed Battery whitelist (you can use all x220 and x230 batteries) (an X230 keyboard will not be fully usable)
* board and cable are used, but in very good technical condition
* no warranty (I only have this board and installing the cooling unit is only for experienced people.)

What will you need to do to use this board:
* get all other components of an X220 or X230 Thinkpad
* install a cooling unit (be very careful when installing to not break the die!)
* patch a x220 keyboard by taping some contacts
* get a usable FHD display
* cut the lid to be able to install the new panel
* assemble everything

Item is located in Germany and could be picked up by seller or I could mail it.
I accept paypal personal payment, bank transfer or cash.
I'm selling for the first time on this forum.

For more info on this FHD-mod and my experience with installing this mod on exactly this board, read here:
/viewtopic.php?f=43&t=122640.
If you never installed a cooling unit direct to the CPU die, then stay away from this board! The CPU die breaks very easily.

If you would like to buy, then please PM me your offer. (be patient while waiting for the answer I'm not checking PMs every hour.)

Edit: price in the range of 150 Euro, excluding shipping.
(Details: 55 for the board, 60 for the FHD-Mod, 35 for fhd modding, patching bios, testing and wrapping.)
For shipping fee have a look at Hermes, DPD or DHL.

As per Forum rules, you must show your selling price!

Ok, I have no clue what I could ask for it. I just thought someone would like to have this board.
Please delete this thread/offer if it violates the forum rules.
I might keep this board as a spare.

You can find the average selling price for a mobo like yours on eBay under "Sold listings".
Add to that your FHD-mod cost, plus whatever you want to charge for doing the mod.
That should give you your price, excl. shipping.
