x220t Hinge + few another questions coming up

[nakopla_plechovka]

Hello Gents,

after my X61t finally gave up his ghost as an outdoor machine (dont take it wrong, it survived as a "Car Workshop Laptop" something, that only the toughbooks were certified for, now it is just a home laptop), so i've ended up with a x220t i5... of course its faster and yadda yadda yadda, but hell i miss the 4:3 ratio...

aaanyway...
What are the battery options for this laptop? Im totally lost in it, as it came with the standard blob battery (who and why designed it in such ugly way? there is just empty space in it) and of course it doesnt hold the charge longer then 10 minutes, but hey, its original.
So what are my options? Any 3rd party battery without that "blob" under it? Also, i've found that some reviews are mentioning a smaller 3cell battery, any idea where to get it in Europe? Even Lenovo cannot provide it to me anymore.
Did anyone tried to replace the cells in the original one? If yes, what are the best cells for it?

apart from that, i've found out that on the left side one of the USB ports is damaged (the one closer to "me"), can someone point me to a replacement part for it? As i've ordered a new fan assembly and want to replace both things at the same time.

TIA and have a nice day
Martin

In your X220T you can use batteries from both X220T and X230T.
X220T versions: 3-cel 47, 6-cell 47+ and 9-cell 47++
X230T versions: 3-cel 67, 6-cell 67+ and 9-cell 67++

I have bought several times from this US-eBayer who ships worldwide: http://www.ebay.com/itm/301205893548
His batteries never gave me problems.

There are many USB-port varieties.
To get an idea, search e.g. on eBay for: laptop usb port replacement

Hello RBS,

thanks for the details .. i needed the "numbers" as many sellers have it marked with multiple PNs/FRUs and my head was just going badonkadonk. Sadly, almost all shops i've contacted in CZ were replying to me that they dont have it and its obsolete and what not ... and thanks for the US guy, a friend of mine is going in January from PHX to PRG... will order ...

new question: did anyone figured out how to get all the five fingers gizmos on the multitouch display under Win10? I have only two fingers working and i tried all different drivers.. Lenovo drivers and WU suggested drivers provide only two fingers and the WACOM drivers screw up both touch and pen

TIA,
M.
