X220 vs X220t motherboard

#1 Post by km3k » Wed Jan 27, 2016 11:38 am

I recently was replacing the keyboard on my X220 and managed to break a pin on the motherboard connector for the keyboard, so I'm shopping around for a new motherboard.

I see some motherboards that were from X220t laptops. Is there a difference in the motherboard between X220 and X220t? Would a X220t motherboard be compatible with my X220?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but x220t has different internal display connector, due to touchscreen stuff.
I was looking for possibility to attach x220t lcd with touch to x220 (as I wanted wacom, but already broken hinges in x60t twice).
x220t also uses different battery (due to position of hinge), I don't know if they are compatible in terms of connector position and signalling.

Thanks. That's what I figured too. I ended up buying a used X220 without hard drive, RAM or AC adapter on eBay since it wasn't much more expensive than just a motherboard and would save me the time and effort of swapping the motherboard. I'll move over my RAM, SSD, 9 cell battery and IPS screen to my new X220 and keep my old X220 for spare parts.
