Looking at a new T450s on ebay. Posting says it comes with three year manufacturer warranty.
Is that three year warranty starting from the T450s was bought by the reseller or from when I receive it?
Levi Powell
>Is that three year warranty starting from the T450s was bought by the reseller or from when I receive it? are you by chance, a little bit on the spectrum?

Fuck, I edited it without reading it again. Should be: >Is that three year warranty starting from when the T450s was bought by the reseller or from when I receive it? Not hard to figure out, desu, so you might be on the spectrum.

that's not how warranties work retard.

Has anyone here replaced the LCD screen on a x200?
I have this x200 with libreboot, and yesterday I got my AFFS. I previously checked that I had CCFL, and installed the screen with no so much incidence. (Although I had to remove the tactile glass from the AFFS).
The thing is, that when the screen turns on, the inverter goes *beeeeEEEEEP* and the screen goes off. If i manage to restart the screen (say, by attaching a secondary monitor) and lower the brightness before the beep death occurs, the screen stays on, but very very dim.
Is it possible that I have a short in the AFFS panel? (how could I check?) Or is libreboot handling the inverter wrong? (could be, because since I installed it, the inverter beeps if the screen brightness is set to less than 100%).
Has anyone run into these kind of problems?

The photo in is a result from google. It's not my x200.

Is Thinkpad X301 for ~$130 alright? Is it much different from T410 that I'm using right now? Should I get it and sell the T410?
Lucas Rogers
>comfy 2570p the goat
it's really slow but it's one of my favorite lenovo chinkpads. the keyboard is goat.

Thanks, I guess I'll keep the T410. I'm quite satisfied with its performance. It's a pity that I can't play games on it though.

Posting my post from previous thread, because I didn't get any answers. >So am in pajeetland for a business trip and I'm thinking of buying a t420(150-180$) here. Do you think pajeets can scam me by replacing original internals with duplicate, substandard ones? If so, which parts should I be aware of that can be duplicated ones?
Ryder Allen
Save up for a T430 if you wanna game Pic rel I posted this last thread to show the T430 didn't overheat under real world load
Jackson Perry
They might replace the thermal paste with poo. Okay serious answer this time, the only parts worth a shit are the cpu, ram, battery and charger. Maybe the HDD. Worst case you get a busted HDD, worn or fake battery and a knock off charger which even in europooristan is like 50 usd for all three. So if it boots it's probably fine I'd carry a copy of your favorite benchmark, preferably something lightweight like Intel burn test and maybe some hardware info program though I guess device manager works too for just checking the specs Oh and don't forget to check for the regular shit Bios password, computrace, physical damage, overheating, cum(or poo) under the keys Just because they a different type of brown don't mean they don't steal

1. How to tell if they battery in a used x220/230 is genuine or not?
2. How is 768p vs 1080p for reading PDFs and ebooks?
Isaac Nguyen
More: 3. I used to have an Acer laptop back from 2001. By 2006 years screen became very dim even at max settings. Do x220/230 suffer from that? What's the rule of thumb when screen is on its way out?
4. What software tools should I use test used thinkpad when shopping around?
5. When traveling, what screwdriver type will suffice to remove all screws?
Nathan Bailey
Is this battery ok to purchase for an x220? I am buying one without a battery. Any concerns I should have about it being listed as not tested, but sealed?
1. doesn't really matter, they're going to be out of warranty anyways, it either holds a charge or it doesn't
2. subjective, depends on dpi if you ask me, 1366x768 at 12.5" works fine IMO
3. modern LED backlit screens don't really dim or wear out like that
4. would not bother, if it boots into the BIOS it will tell you what CPU it has and how much RAM it has, it'll also tell you the model number and serial number which you can look up on Lenovo's site that tell you the original hardware specs, usually these things either function or they don't, so as long as its physically OK and powers on then it should work fine
5. a small phillips head screwdriver, magnetized would be handy
Henry Hernandez
Why is linux support for pen and touch input so SHIT? Windows 10 is fantastic by comparison.
Ryder James
serious question, i have a x220 and I notice the battery drains over night when i put it into sleep mode, im using linux mint
any solutions??
Jonathan Perry
no, a tablet battery will not work in the non-tablets
and being a $15 battery... it's probably junk
Nathan James
...shut it down? sleep mode is low power usage not no power usage
Liam Gutierrez
it goes from 90% to 30% overnight, is that normal??
David Russell
what condition is the battery in? no that's probably not normal
Jonathan Gonzalez
1. Ok, but I still want to know. Are non-genuine as good as genuine?
2. Is 768p easier in the eyes than 1080p for reading?
3. ok
4. How would I test memory, whether laptop overheats and etc though?
5. ok
Ethan Ortiz
its oem battery bought from lenovo, capacity is 100%
1. they can be 2. yes, no, maybe, depends on the screen quality, size, DPI, how far away you're sitting 4. memory either works or it doesn't, overheating can be fixed easily

Anyone got charge balancing to work on Linux? I'm aware that it is supported with the tp-smapi module, but it is only partially supported on the t420...
Anthony Baker
Thanks user! I will go with the x230 as you have suggested. If I am getting it to learn Java will I be ok with the i5 or do I need an i7? I will also plan on maxing out the ram, installing a ssd, and running Ubuntu.
Asher Collins
for programming you probably want the old style keyboard of the x220, on the x220 i7 has a usb 3.0 port, i5 only 2.0
Easton Garcia
>NVidia 940MX >Acceptable
Why even bother, dGPUs in T series are and always have been shitty last-gen G*108 chips. The only thing they do is make using Linux on them 1000x harder.

ok, i created a walkthrough list when shopping for a used Thinkpad:
>look over the laptop for any signs of physical damage and cum under the keyboard. slightly shake it and listen for any loose components. >ask if you can take off the lid to look at the internals(memory, cpu, hdd/ssd, wifi) >turn on the laptop and let it boot to OS. listen for any unusual noises >look at the screen for any dead/stuck pixels and etc >reboot laptop into BIOS/UEFI and check to make sure: no supervisor password, computrace is disabled, check cpu and memory specs >on lenovo website check the service tag for stock specs and warranty >restart and boot into OS, open a notepad app and test all the keyboard keys >check with speccy for temperatures >open web browser go to YouTube and play a vid in 1080p at full volume(no meme vids, don't make the seller uncomfortable, something normie like the "wrecking ball" song will do) >test wifi and wifi button >test all ports >test power adapter and check battery info via preinstalled lenovo battery app(if it isn't installed punch seller in the face then continue) >if circumstances allow form it, download and play a ranked match of Heroes Of The Storm on low-med settings
what else would you add?

Why would I google anything when I just proved that x220 is inferior in every aspect? Use your own words instead of telling someone to visit google, kid.

Why don't you own a fhd pajeet book then?
It should be the first and most desirable upgrade.

Samuel Hall
whatever kid, hd4000 is pretty good if properly upgraded and if it always works at turbo clocks (which HP ensured in their BIOS, unlike lelnovo lel) nice shitposting. At first tell stupid shit - gets told. Then responds with shit. Gets told again. Now responds with some more shit and says "noone cares". Yet you respond everytime. Contain yourself autismo.
Jack Lopez
The black pill:
Nobody will upgrade their $150 2012 laptop beyond maybe the panel.
X220 offers a popular, documented path to a drop-in FHD mod.
2570p requires dremeling the entire lid of the laptop in half to make room, leaving a disgusting metal scar. Then you have to adjust the panel with Styrofoam and tape so it somewhat aligns with the bezel.
The brightness is dogshit. It's 185 lumens vs 800 lumens on modern smartphones. You would barely be able to view the screen in a well lit room.
The contrast at 150 is unbelievably bad rivaling the T420. It should be illegal to offer such a display to consumers.
Let's face it, you are using such a dogshit screen because you are forced to. You have no path of upgrade outside of sawing the lid in half.
Kevin Turner
Okay,
I want 8GB ram, an SSD, 1050Ti or 1060 GPU, screen size 15.6"+, 1080p+.
No budget really
Joshua Harris
>It's 1366x768 Which is enough for MY needs. Also 90% of laptop users, since this is the most used resolution in all laptop segment, including business. >It's TN. Again, it's good. It's power efficient (unlike IPS), it doesn't hurt eyes and it doesn't wear so fast like IPS. >m-m-muh lumens! You're fucking retarded, and you clearly don't understand why smartphones got such bright screens. No, it's not to rape battery life, it's to ensure visibility in full sun. and you're still trying to imply this screen is bad and I shouldn't use it, while I really enjoy it and find it much better than my previous T430 1600x900 cancer tier trash. Try harder. Also provide source on this "sawing the lid in half" bullshit.

Blake Ross
we get it. you would marry your shitbox if you could. good for you. but you don't need to shove it down our throats. 1 of your (enlightening) posts could have been enough. the fact that you have the need defend yourself shows huge amount of insecurity about your pos laptop and your life choices in general.

God damnit I'm starting to really enjoy defending 2570p in every /tpg/ I visit. You guys are worse lenovo shills than paid support pajeets on lenovo forums. Daily reminder: HP is an American company, while lelnovo belongs to gooks.
