X1 Carbon 1st Gen FHD upgrade kits

#1 Post by RMSMajestic » Wed Oct 26, 2016 9:46 am

As following up from here:http://forum.thinkpads.com/viewtopic.php?f=45&t=122224

The only thing different from this kit to the T420s kit is the FFC cable, X1c needs extra length and therefore is a bit more expensive.

Out of stock Jan 31 2020

For those of you who are in USA, Russia or Ukraine
Please pay here, price is $52 and shiping is $5:
https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?c ... aNonHosted

For those of you who are in the rest of the world

Please pay using the link below, price is $52 and shipping is $7.5 ($2 extra shipping plus $1.5 insurance)
https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?c ... aNonHosted


For those of you who are willing to pay in GBP (amount subject to change due to the recent rollercoaster of GBP)

https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?c ... R3RQ9Y8ZVC


I don't check my GBP paypal often so please avoid that one

I am also selling B140HAN01.2/B140HAN01.3 with the kits. Price is $50 each. For those of you in USA you can just purchase two kits and include a msg saying it's for a kit and a panel. For those of you elsewhere please PM me for details. shippign should be around $30

I guess this kit won't work with the original (non Carbon) X1, right? :|

Hi,

I'm interested in buying one of your kits. I'm in Canada, I just want to confirm that it will be shipped from the US. China shipping to Canada has been very slow recently.

Do you mark these as gift when shipping?

Thanks

The paypal links are still up but the latest post I can find that refers to these kits is from Oct 2017 on page 1 of the T420s/T430s WQHD kits pre-order thread (viewtopic.php?p=808963#p808963)

Kit received and ordered up and received a B140HAN01.3 panel. I needed to trim the mounting tabs on the panel, and finding a location for the kit inside the laptop wasn't easy but I can report this kit/mod is awesome!

If you have issues afterwards of the laptop not powering on without the AC adapter plugged in, use the reset button on the laptop

The combination of T420s WQHD kits and X1c Carbon are tested working. However the cable is just too hard to fit in. And besides it's beyond Javi's stated specifications.

Howdy Folks,

Wanted to drop some information for anyone else looking to do this upgrade. Just ran mine thought the gamut and I'm very happy with the results. I did want to make note of issues I ran into with routing the LCD cable from the motherboard to the pcb provided in the kit. Just make sure that when you fold the ribbon cable over to take care of the extra slack that you make this fold away from the keyboard/palmrest connector as it can cause interference which in my case manifested as limited keyboard and no mouse functionality as well as strange boot times. Testing with the palmrest floating loose above the machine didnt exhibit the problem and the issue persisted under a linux boot from usb. Originally I took advantage of the existing fold in the included cable (not wanting to increase the number of folds for fear of damaging the cable.

Using the existing fold and having the rest of the slack folding back over itself in a "S" Fold , check the ascii image below: (Palmrest Cable)(Visual is from the side/sandwich view)


""TOP OF COMPUTER/PALMREST/KEYBOARD""

_____________________Motherboard Connector
\___________
PalmrestCable__\

""MOTHERBOARD/BOTTOM OF COMPUTER""

eventually I brought the "S" fold over a little bit, sort of on top of the WWAN slot and that sovled the issue entirely, but unfortunately requiring more fold on the ribbon cable. We'll see how it holds up.

I recently received my kit and installed it. I forgot to take a measurement before but with the IPS display at 100% brightness and an otherwise idle machine, the whole system draws about 11700 mW from the battery.
