I had finally and succesfully flashed Coreboot (well not my own build, yet; used one of those provided in the Dropbox) after some trouble disassembling and soldering wires and putting it back together days ago. Meanwhile, had upgraded to HD+ (1600x900) screen beforehand.
Booted right up (after a CMOS reset) and fresh install of Windows 10. Running absolutely fine with the i7-3632QM I've installed in the place of the factory i5-2520M. Applied Arctic MX and temp maxed out at ~80C at 100% all cores/threads. While there are some quirks, but they don't really affect my usage.
However, I could never get the touchpad and its buttons to work, even after installing the modified drivers from the Dropbox included in this guide: https://www.reddit.com/r/thinkpad/comme ... e_are_the/
Is there anything or steps I'm missing etc? At first I thought it was improper connection of the palmrest cable, but not the case as Bluetooth works fine.
Help appreciated. I'm really close to having a fully-operational IB-powered T420. Thanks!
