Re: Upgrading X220/X230 to FHD 1080p
I installed a very basic Debian Jesse on a spare X200, then made a self-booting USB-stick using the hamish/github download as mentioned a few posts down here: http://forum.thinkpads.com/viewtopic.php?f=69&t=120776
Following instructions, once in Debian it only took about a minute or two.

Apparently it's possible to do it without a hardware flash now - only part of the bios is write-protected - see here:carcuevas wrote:
Hi,
what method are you using for doing the Bios MOD??? I tried with the pomona + raspberry pi and I was not able to read the chip for starters so I didn't continue...

Of course I now need to install git and figure out how to make the iso....
Re: Upgrading X220/X230 to FHD 1080p
Great work!
I am desperately waiting for the second batch to come.

Shipped 31 orders today. I literally paralyzed the work of local post office and collected a large queue of angry people cursing Почта России (and probably me too ).
3 remaining orders will be shipped tomorrow.

Sounds like one of my own local post offices; one clerk handling the rush of Christmas shippers. On behalf of the first group of purchasers, thanks for the effort. I've got my order in .

Re: Upgrading X220/X230 to FHD 1080p
Just got myself a vanilla X230 with i5 2.6GHz. Nearly perfect cosmetics besides a single scratch on the lid (not all the way though to metal). Anybody here interested in buying it with preinstalled FHD mod?

Re: Upgrading X220/X230 to FHD 1080p
I'm equally happy to know that my order is on its way as well.
Seeing you go to the Post Office again tomorrow, I assume your (Greek-Orthodox) Christmas is not until January next year?
Regardless, for all, see below!

Re: Upgrading X220/X230 to FHD 1080p
circumstances changed... Anyone interested in buying my mod kit, instead of waiting for the second batch? I would sell it for the original price of 54$ + shipping.
It has been shipped by nitrocaster yesterday, and it will stay unopened.
Please pm, the first one will get it.
/edit: found a buyer, thank you

I don't know who is the author, but someone reported this does actually work.
Re: Upgrading X220/X230 to FHD 1080p
Hello, I sent a request to order 2 kits on Dec 19th (filled out Google form). I guess I didn't make the first shipment - do I need to fill out another order form? thanks!

12 kits from the first batch were not completely assembled and will be ready during this week. So, there's still a chance.karazi wrote:Hello, I sent a request to order 2 kits on Dec 19th (filled out Google form).

Re: Upgrading X220/X230 to FHD 1080p
Since my other message got buried i ask this again. on the case the Adapter for the tablet versions become a thing, what will happen with the Wacom tech with the new high res? it will be disabled or its posible to "recalibrate" it to the new screen?
Re: Upgrading X220/X230 to FHD 1080p

Re: Upgrading X220/X230 to FHD 1080p
Nitro, sorry but there was not an advice on the other thread about the form of purchase the kit!
I had asked for one Kit and to be considered in list on the other thread (as you can see) and only now I read of this post and the kits end.
I just ordered display from win0win, as you suggested, a month ago and I will have only a display without can using it.
Is there a chance to have one kit? No one advised of this thread I'm waiting for it for 2 month. Waiting for other 1.5 month is too much. One kit only for my Thinkpad Please!
EDIT: The advice is present in the other thread. My mistake. Now I'm so sorry not to have a kit
Nitro, is there a chance to have one in less of a month? Or anyone (that bought more kit) can sell me one?

I would definitely like to make a reservation, so that i don't miss next batch when it comes.
Re: Upgrading X220/X230 to FHD 1080p
Mhmm Nitro, no I can't.nitrocaster wrote:Can't wait for the next batch?Leosleo wrote:Can I take that of Karazi?
Or better, I'm waiting this kit since very much time and if I had seen the link, I would have ordered it. I can wait another month, but in February I will leave my city to go in another country (Erasmus) where I will have difficult to mount kit with display. Indeed I wanted have my Thinkpad ready before to leave.
If it's impossible I give up, no problem.
