Probably not a lot of use to anyone, but i eventually gambled on a Portuguese one and it's an original

I could seem to find them anywhere but i remember them being linked here in the past. Maybe one day when my ship comes in

I think its all of them in Europe right now. I cant find any refurbished ones, almost all are being posted from China and they are normally listed with the correct FRU's. - The shine on the keyboard is more dull than the normal x220 one - If you look closely you can see the keys don't fit so tight w...

I just posted about keyboards for my 2 x220's and a modified x230 with a 220 keyboard (i like to have 2 spare for colleagues who don't bring one then need one at work sessions i run). I've bought 4 replacement keyboards now and they have all been total garbage replicas. I assume i'm late to the part...

Where can you get decent replacement keyboards? A few years back it was easy to pick up cheap OEM keyboards for X220's and X230's. Recently i've bought 3 overpriced replicas recently and they are all hot garbage i don't want to type anything on. Is there a list anywhere of quality replacements or OE...

I just lost keys c, d, e, 3. The mod worked great for 6 months. Anyone have any idea what would cause that?

The other keys are working great

Avast was great 10 years ago. Right now MSE with a spyware scanner is far better, and free.

Hey, There's a typo in the "descriptions.txt" in the github repo: line 128 has "depi:g2uj23us.iso.bat" when it should read "depi:g2uj26.us.iso.bat". as it is right now, it won't build if checked out directly from git... thanks! I should have been clearer. Here's the earlier posted fix for the x230....

I'm trying to do the x230 keyboard mod to put an x220 keyboard in and ran into the failed build message, then came across this forum and read about the typo in descriptions.txt. Unfortunately i can't seem to understand the fix. On line 128 on my downloaded version, and in Hamish's Git, i see: g7uj18...

I would. I've made two posts about it here over the past few years. Something really snug so it doesn't take up much more space as the few hard cases out there do. i don't mind at all if it would crack on a drop, assuming its reasonably priced. With foam inside it would still do its job of absorbing...

Thanks, maybe this would do it. Not totally sure it would fit in my backpack. Is it a snug fit for your x220?

I use these black neoprene sleeves. Fits perfectly and is cheap. https://www.ebay.com/itm/7-17-Inch-Soft-Neoprene-Sleeve-Pouch-Bag-Case-For-Tablet-Laptop-PC-Notebook-/263577030424 I can't imagine these protecting the corners at all which is my main issue over the years. If i could put hard corner c...

I've always dreamed of a lightweight hard case with foam padding inside for my x220/x230. Never found one though. I travel a lot so its getting banged around in my bag a lot (which is why i love them). I also love running with it in my bag.. not a great idea i know, but after a long days work it fee...

If the easiest solution is a new motherboard, and I need a new casing and screen, I'm kinda at the point where I'm pushing it a bit to get it back to a good daily laptop.

Also mine is an i7 which would I expect is more expensive.

Thanks for your replies though

My x220 was a project computer i put a lot of work into a few years ago and has served me very faithfully. Now it's got multiple issues and i wonder if its worth fixing anymore. I maxed out the RAM, added two SSD's and found a new OEM battery to get 11hrs battery life (when it's pretty much not doin...

none of those helped. is it possible my Bios whitelist is blocking it?

i have 2 USB3 ports in there. the issue is simply the terrible quality of the plastic used in the replacements you get from ebay. its essentially tissue paper.

i pulled off the palm rest and switched the daughter card. its simple, i can't image anyone making a mistake with this step. turned the laptop back on, hoping it'd automatically update the drivers. nope. so i tried SDI Driver Updating tool nope. i hunted around on forums like this one until i found ...

i bought an X220 Bluetooth 4.0 Daughter Card (60Y3303 60Y3305). took the palm rest off and swapped it with the older version. now my laptop can't see it and i cant work out why?! i downloaded the g4wb12ww update which others used to get Bluetooth 4.0 running, but when i try to run it i just get an e...

X220. the replacements on ebay are terrible

i had a tiny crack in mine so i splashed out on a new one about a year back. the ones on ebay are far, far weaker plastic. i'm on my forth replacement now (i tend to run with the laptop in my bag, or overfill the bag which squeezes the laptop) and the newest one now has cracks in it too. its frustra...

you could try removing the RAM chips, giving a little clean and putting them back in. its easy as pie, and if one if not connected well it will cause the laptop to randomly cut out. also run a RAM test to see if one is faulty. i've never had that happen to me so i'm not sure the symptoms, they might...

I just bought an X220 i7 Tablet to go alongside my X220 laptop. the IPS screen is fabulous, but has a few light scratches from rubbing on the keys for many years. like smudgy dotted lines all across. i've seen videos of people cleaning scratches out of watches or eye glasses using metal polish. anyo...

thanks, i tried that and have the trackball and buttons back. is there any solution to recover a bricked trackpad?

Here's the driver i flashed from the Lenovo site: https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/tkb/articleprintpage/tkb-id/tp02_en%40tkb/article-id/352 ( PR1063847-tm1611.img ) i'm not being lazy by reaching out. i've been trying to fix it for 7hrs now. i've reverted to a previous restore point and nothing. tried o...
