x230 power jack connector

#1 Post by EvoT61 » Wed May 06, 2015 5:00 am

hey there, i just got myself x230 but im a bit curious... power jack connectors :evil: equally pathetic to T61`s ? or did Lenovo improved them and they are much better ? because they look identical so while im waiting for my notebook to arrive may i need to order few of them ?:lol:
Thanks.

The connectors are different, but I would not say that either are better or worse than each other. The power jack on my W530 is still as solid as the day I got it. I haven't had any issues with any of the jacks on my Thinkpads yet.

thanks brchan for your input, actually ... ive just discovered something new about T61 connectors, so i think as long as i use original Lenovo charger for X230 everything shoul be ok.
