Re: X13 Gen 3 fingerprint power button

Yes it's brand new & never started. It's actually the second one I've received as I had the same issue with the first & the seller exchanged. Now I'm starting to wonder if I don't know how to use a ThinkPad power button these days... this is my first since T420 & X230. It really doesn't feel like a ...

X13 Gen 3 fingerprint power button

I've got a new X13 Gen 3 AMD & embarrassingly can't get it to power on - it has the fingerprint reader power button. When I press the button it doesn't feel like a switch, there's no real 'give' to it & it doesn't feel like it will 'click' if I push it any harder. Pressing it or holding my finger on...

Re: New IPS FHD Upgrade Kit for thinkpad T420 T430 ,And T430S T420S

OK so I thought I should try the mod with the controller board positioned behind the screen, rather than under the keyboard (on top of the RAM). So far so good, the RGB colour purity tests that (amongst other screen events) previously caused the panel to shut off now don't. Will see how it goes & re...

Re: Installing classic keyboard into X230 with EC firmware mod

Could anyone tell me please if the trackpad & fingerprint reader from an X230 fit into an X220 palmrest? I'm fairly confident the trackpad would but I've read conflicting reports about the fingerprint reader. I realise I could buy an X220 palmrest with both already fitted but there's a price/availab...

Thanks but the B140HAN01.3 is also compatible with the kit, it's the panel recommended by the kit supplier.

Re: New IPS FHD Upgrade Kit for thinkpad T420 T430 ,And T430S T420S

I installed the e-qstore kit & a B140HAN01.3 panel into my T420 around a year ago - the kit is installed under the keyboard. Everything worked initially but developed a problem after some time. I've not had any flickering but certain screen events cause the panel to switch off completely. By closing...
