Pre-OS mode uses 640x480 video mode which might be handled in some specific way. Do you have another panel to test?
I tested the X230 with four different FHD panels, all working fine except the LTN133 only working in pre-OS mode.

Is there a comparrision between this and the kingkonglue mod?

Here is a photo:

That kit from TaoBao didn't work with some displays that worked fine with my kit. Another concern was that Chinese adapter board attaches to the motherboard by a row of plated half-holes and the resulting connection isn't nearly as robust as 7 plated though-holes in the adapter that I made.

With respect to brightness control, I have a program that adjusts my external monitor's brightness over DP using DDC. Would it be possible to control brightness on single display mode using this method?

No. Ordinary monitor is something more than the display itself, and in our case we only have the display itself.

Hi all,

I'm working for a few months now with the FHD mod.

The last week my laptop starts with showing a blank screen after waking up/booting. My backlight is turning on, but no display is shown, not even the bios screen.
Once I got display it's working perfect, no flickering etc. at all, but the blank screen is getting realy annoying. :(

Somebody any idea what could be the problem?

....
I've been researching the QWHD mod kit, https://world.taobao.com/item/557203626813.htm, the past few days and based on a few posts in Reddit I've seen and how it is described through Google Translate, I plan on purchasing Nitrocaster's version because they have been around long enough to determine long term issues, which there don't seem to be many of. While kingkonglue's screen mod has a better resolution, it is still new and pushes the limits of the Thinkpads possibly making them * gasp * fragile.


However, I am curious about just the expresscard addon that adds sata and usb.

I'm running W10Pro in dualboot with Linux Mint, but usally I run Windows. My installation is totally clean from an ISO, so no OEM factory installation. Didn't try to wait for a while, so don't know if it would reappair in 5 or 10 minutes.

Even after pulling the battery I often don't see the Thinkpad bios image? In BIOS my default display is set to DP#2 (the adapter board).

Does it boot into Windows or stucks somewhere before? If you can change brightness from the very beginning, that means FHD display is not detected by system.

I guess it will try to boot Windows, sometimes when I turn it on and off multiple times I'll get display in the Windows startup repair. But not totally sure, since I even don't get the ThinkPad bios logo.

The problem didn't occur the last days, I'll try to change brightness when the screen stays blank again. So I hope I can't give you the answer... :wink:

I'm still loving each moment working with the FHD screen inside. Some classmates are looking for their own X220 and mod it in the future, they also like your work! :D

Finally I got my rev4 mod board installed. The screen is a "Samsung LTN125HL02-301" because it is kind of difficult to get a different type of screen. :(

Backlight control is always and everywhere working. :)
Other stuff is not. :(
Any idea what is going wrong, or where to check for errors?

This are the issues:
I can see the Bios screen on the FHD screen. But sometimes only after pressing Fn-F7. An external display seems always be preferred over the FHD screen by the bios.

But I'm totally unable to see the screen of memtest86, linux console or xorg/X11 on this screen. (Tested with debian jessie), (I have no Windows, and could not try, yet).
When connecting an external VGA screen, xrandr gives the output, see end of this post. As you can see DP3/eDP3 is missing.

I tried to force usage of the screen with:

Code: Select all

xrandr --newmode "1920x1080_60.00" 173.00 1920 2048 2248 2576 1080 1083 1088 1120 -hsync +vsync
xrandr --addmode DP3 1920x1080_60.00
xrandr --output DP3 --mode 1920x1080_60.00
This did not lead to a picture on the screen.

xrandr output:

Code: Select all

#>xrandr
Screen 0: minimum 8 x 8, current 1920 x 1080, maximum 32767 x 32767
LVDS1 connected primary 1920x1080+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 280mm x 160mm
   1920x1080     60.03*+  59.93  
   ...

   1920x1080     60.00*+
   ...
VIRTUAL1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
Appendix (Friday 13.): Panel Type B125HAN02.0 is also not working, there is something else fishy.
Appendix (18.Okt.2017): Panel Type B125HAN02.0 is working fine after fixing some slack joints

I got the same display a couple of days ago and found the same issue. Not sure what's the problem, but the easy way is to avoid this model.

BTW, win0win said he has lots of LP125WF2-SPB4 in stock again.

Nitro,
Any eta for the completion of this new batch of kits? Trying to be patient, but I've got a gorgeous panel staring at me, ready to be installed.

Thanks!!

Aww, thanks for telling me. I ordered another panel type. It takes at least 5 weeks to arrive. :(
I will report back if it works.

PCBs and components should arrive in a few days. I found a local PCB assembly service - we are going to do full automated assembly. They say it takes a week or two. After that I have to flash and test the whole batch. So, maybe in 2-3 weeks I'll be sending first emails with 'your order is ready' in the topic.

Hey guys, I have a small issue.

Q: Does this mod affect left-side DisplayPort connector?
A: No. The adapter board connects to Dock DisplayPort #2.


I'm running Xubuntu on my X230 with Nitro's FHD mod.
I just tried to plug my laptop into our boardroom projector via VGA and I am able to detect the projector.

When I try to detect the projector using HDMI->Mini-DisplayPort connection on the side of my laptop, nothing shows up on the projector, it's not getting a signal from the laptop.

When I run xrandr, it doesn't show anything other than the default output of the LVDS.


Any ideas?

Good morning enthusiasts. I can announce great success!

<I don't know how to post an image... there should be a pic here of my now-uber-awesome X230 here>

The difference from the TN 720p panel to this is just astonishing. This is the LP125WF2-SPB3 from win0win, btw.

Some installation notes for those yet to take the plunge:

1. The soldering is pretty easy IF you have access to good soldering equipment, including a magnifier/microscope, and perhaps prior experience. I would be very, very hesitant to try this with a hardware-store soldering iron. The components are small and delicate. If you don't have such access, I'd strongly recommend getting some help.

2. Assuming the above, the mechanical work in modding the laptop lid to fit the bigger panel is by far the hardest part of the job. The effort is definitely non-zero! The lid is aluminium and you need to remove quite a lot of material. I used a Dremel-type tool to grind away bits that were in the way. Strip the lid down as far as possible before you start and be patient.

OS notes:

1. I'm running Ubuntu. The screen came up as a second display first time. I had to set it to primary.
2. Backlight control does not work if you switch off the internal display...
3. ...and suspend does not work by closing the lid with it on. I can put it into suspend manually, though.

So there's some tweaking to be done. It's usable right now, but not without little irritations.
Edit: Okay, I understand I need a patch for the Intel driver. I'll do that next...
Edit 2: After the kernel patch everything works great, just like it used to.

Notes for nitrocaster:

1. Perhaps it's wise to stress to people that the mod will require some decent soldering kit.

2. Could you put kapton tape on before you ship? It's not something most people have lying around.

I have just tested this on my modified-as-of-this-morning X230 using Ubuntu/Gnome3 and the miniDP on the left works just like it used to.

I'd guess your adapter is passive and it needs an active adapter like the x220. From what I could find you need DP 1.2 and the x230 has 1.1a. Did you ever test it before installing the mod ?

Hi,
I've been using the kit with a SPB4 (among the ones nitrocaster recommended) for several weeks now and am very pleased with it. Thanks again nitrocaster!

The soldering went fairly easy, except, of course, for the sense wire. The main issue here was, that the solder didn't "stick". Apparently it is somehow coated, which I only found out (read in another thread if I remember correctly) after I gave up and used a single strand of a thicker wire. The solder stuck right away and now I have a sense wire to spare ;)

I just recently got around patching the Linux kernel. Now the display is recognized as the only internal display (eDP1) with normal backlight control and it suspends if I close the lid :D

I use Antergos and patched the 4.12.12 kernel in the arch repos. I used the patch nitrocaster posted/linked (https://gist.github.com/nitrocaster/2bb ... d162a48c73). They changed quite a bit in the intel driver and the three blocks to patch are not only on different lines now. So best to compare if you want use it for a different kernel. Compiling took about two hrs. (only one core used).

Re: Upgrading X220/X230 to FHD 1080p

If you have to recompile, why bother to put in all that non-Lenovo stuff?
And the very last line looks like it has an X230 MTM 2325P23 in it, shouldn't that be modified for every laptop?

He's removing all the others, not adding them. I'm not sure exactly what that code snippet is doing, but I guess for regular/unmodded X230s you don't want to be turning off the LVDS, so you wouldn't need it.

Yes, all the non-Lenovo stuff is taken out. You're right about the last line, sorry that I forgot to mention. I only changed the model number here to my own model compared to the patch nitrocaster posted, but I don't know if this really makes any difference.

Do the kernel patches discussed above also work with the x220, or is it not necessary?

PCBs and components should arrive in a few days. I found a local PCB assembly service - we are going to do full automated assembly. They say it takes a week or two. After that I have to flash and test the whole batch. So, maybe in 2-3 weeks I'll be sending first emails with 'your order is ready' in the topic.
That would be awesome. We're leaving for Japan in a month and having FHD for the X220 on the trip would make me very happy indeed. :)

@evillawngnome
Should be working for X220 as well if you replace the model number in the third code block with yours before compiling. Unless you want the new FHD display to be detected as the only (internal eDP1) display with full backlight control, the kernel patch is not necessary for the FHD mod kit to work.

I've installed the FHD mod with a SPB4 screen, it all seems to work great in Linux which is my default boot.

But... is it normal to not be able to see the BIOS booting screen? It just shows up blank but lit if I hit F1 on boot.

I can see mine. I have an SPB3. IIRC there was a post earlier mentioning this. Perhaps the sense wire?
