Do you have any idea if the guy is going to list T430 kit on Taobao or is there any way to purchase kit directly from him in China? I live in China, so it's pointless for me to buy kit from you (it would travel China -> USA -> China, I guess), but I speak Chinese only a little bit and sitting on 51nb with a dictionary and trying to communicate is a bit problematic for me. So if you have any information I would appreciate sharing it with me either in this topic or via PM. \RMSMajestic wrote:Just repeat, I'll NOT respond to any msgs relating to purchase before the scheduled date
Does that mean we need to "order" (as in "express interest in the kit by posting 'I want to buy the kit' in this thread") again after scheduled date?RMSMajestic wrote:Just repeat, I'll NOT respond to any msgs relating to purchase before the scheduled date
currently, the non-s kit is still being debugged.....kony wrote:Do you have any idea if the guy is going to list T430 kit on Taobao or is there any way to purchase kit directly from him in China?

By "order" I mean request my paypal address through private msg and send me a payment.Lockheed wrote:Does that mean we need to "order" (as in "express interest in the kit by posting 'I want to buy the kit' in this thread") again after scheduled date?RMSMajestic wrote:Just repeat, I'll NOT respond to any msgs relating to purchase before the scheduled date
I successfully ordered one kit directly from javi_jie by taobao.com. Now I am waiting for shipment which takes around 3 weeks. I paid for it with shipment ~ 37 dollars.kony wrote:Do you have any idea if the guy is going to list T430 kit on Taobao or is there any way to purchase kit directly from him in China?

Is that s or non-s kits?RMSMajestic wrote:Just for those of you who are still waiting,
I'll take orders from May.18 th onwards. the feebay listing will come alive 5 days later. I'll have 35-40 kits this time and it will be all for this year. :/
Or, if some one can help me getting a job in USA with H1B sponsorship (or preferrably in UK), I can do it for the whole year for as many kits as you want.
Just kidding,
slim kits, non-slim ones are still under debugging process.Ezhik wrote:Is that s or non-s kits?RMSMajestic wrote:Just for those of you who are still waiting,

Alright, thanks! Good luck in your studies.RMSMajestic wrote:slim kits, non-slim ones are still under debugging process.Ezhik wrote: Is that s or non-s kits?
Both me and Javi-Jie are students, we can't spare that much time to devote into this. Especially he is at one of the top universities in China.
Great news! Looking forward to the May 18th :)RMSMajestic wrote:I'll take orders from May.18 th onwards. the feebay listing will come alive 5 days later. I'll have 35-40 kits this time and it will be all for this year. :/
Interesting. Thanks!sqmaster1234 wrote:Unfortunately the kits have been sold out and should be back 3/20-4/1.dddd wrote:I'm interested in the FHD board for my T420s.
If you could send me a PM with payment address that'd be great.
On another note, whats the advantage of upgrading the wireless card? Any suggestions for the upgrade? Will this need a modded bios? I'm unable to find a modded T420s bios that allows whitelisted AC cards and 1600mhz ram speeds.
Upgrading the wireless card can allow you to use 802.11ac as well as WiMAX capable cards. I'm using an Intel Centrino Ultimate-N 6300, before that I used an Intel Centrino Advanced-N + WiMAX 6250. This would require a modded bios.
Here is a list of modded BIOS with changes and links (Including one for T420s with witelist and RAM speed selection) -http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Custom_BI ... ved_BIOSes
Edit: If for whatever reason that link doesn't work (as it did not for others) here is another link with WiFi whitelist but no advanced menu (afaik) -https://www.bios-mods.com/forum/Thread- ... val--13440
It's a simple process, instructions are usually included.

It also has the latest T420s official bios and a WL remove bios also in the link. (I just want to keep everything together, and just encase anyone needs anything.)
For the files I have hosted on dropbox, I haven't noticed any problems with them installed on my laptop.RealBlackStuff wrote:Be careful with T420s modded BIOSes... see http://forum.thinkpads.com/viewtopic.ph ... 00#p778900

I could noticed just the "glass thickness" difference, 0.5 for the 1.1 model .04 for the 1.2 model.nitrocaster wrote:You can check out the datasheets: B140HAN01.1, B140HAN01.2lightproof wrote:Also, do you know what is the difference between B140HAN01.1 and B140HAN01.2 antiglare panels, is any of them better than another one?
