Hi all, I have an x260 and I was wondering if I could replace my existing WLAN card with this one: https://www.ebay.ca/itm/Lenovo-Thinkpad ... 3142622962

Would there be any compatibility issues? Whitelist issues?

Thanks

I'm interested in this as well, i.e., outputing WQHD via HDMI. Is this possible? Has anyone managed to get it to work? The platform specs for the x260 state: Max resolution: 3840x2160@60Hz (DisplayPort via Mini DisplayPort cable); 1920x1080@60Hz (HDMI) Source: http://psref.lenovo.com/syspool/Sys/PDF...

Just bought the adapter, and I can confirm it works just fine with the x260 running Windows 10 Pro 64-bit.

[snip] We also would be interested to see if this works well with Thinkpads (X1 Carbon Gen3, X1 Carbon Gen 4). The X1 Carbon is the only Lenovo listed as compatible on Microsoft's website, so I would imagine it works: https://www.microsoft.com/accessories/en-ca/support/troubleshooting/adapters/comp...

I just ordered an x260, and it should arrive this week. Was just wondering if anyone knows if Microsoft's Wireless Display Adapter works with the x260 on Windows 10 Pro 64-bit? Thanks.

Bumping this topic. Did you manage to replace your keyboard with a backlit one? I am also wondering if it is possible to replace a non-backlit keyboard with a backlit one and have the backlight work properly on the x250. In other words, do all the x250 motherboards have the right connectors to suppl...

Can I upgrade It from Core Duo (Yonah) T2500 to Core 2 Duo (Merom) T7200 ?
Will there be problems ?

Yes you can upgrade, with no problems. I upgraded from a T2600 to a T7400 on a T60p.

Any luck with doing this? Anyone figure out a way to downgrade BIOS flash? Try this: 1) Download the windows flash version of the BIOS you wish to downgrade to. 2) Run the file. When the file starts running, ignore it and open windows explorer. The file will run in the background and eventually rea...

I did manage to do it, but it was so long ago, that I don't remember. I'll try and re-figure it out, and if I come up with the answer, I'll be sure to post it.

I have an x200s running Ubuntu 10.10 (actually Linux Mint 10), and the Intel 5350 is working just fine. A couple of times I've had the wireless fail, and it turned out I had accidentally slid the tiny wifi switch on the front left side of the case to the "off" position. Hmmm. I installed 11.04, and...

Dunno if Ubuntu has the driver by default... iwlwifi... use Synaptics to search for it, or open a terminal and type: apt-cache search iwlwifi|grep intel If you find a matching package, install it and read the docs... again from a terminal: sudo apt-get install iwlwifi (replace iwlwifi with whatever...

By the way, when I click on the little network icon on the top right of the desktop, I see "Wired Network (Intel 82567LM Gigabit)" and "Wired Network (Intel(R) WiMax Connection 2400)" both are listed as disconnected.

Why can't I see the wireless?

Hi all,

I am a complete linux newbie. I just installed Ubuntu on my x200s, and I can't seem to get the wireless card to turn on. Fn+F5 turns the Bluetooth on and off, but I don't see the WiFi light turning on. I have the Intel 5350 card installed.

Can anyone help me?

Thanks.

I thought that about mine too (and, in fact, I wrote a rather vitriolic post to that effect). Upon further consideration though, I realized it was probably more psychology than anything else: the X200s is substantially lighter than the X60s, and while it feels a lot "flimsier" than the X60s, I've c...

Yes! But the "real" comparison is between the X200s with WXGA+ (1440x900) and the X60s (1024x768) ... and it's no contest: the X200s is faster, lighter, battery life is at least 2x that of the X60s ... + misc. other features: can boot from SD card, no 3GB memory limit, 64-bit support, etc. Agreed. ...

Ok, so I accidentally shorted one of my my USB ports (the one on the left side in the front, right underneath the card slot) on my x200s. Anyway to fix it without replacing the motherboard?

[snip] An oddly nonsensical reply considering my earlier posts. Yes, I could have fried an egg on the Delta 65W with a single external HDD attached. That was the reason I participated in this thread in the first place. [snip] Two in a row?, really odd. Defective it may be, but again , I did speak o...

Hey corsair, any update on this?

I know I asked this before, but I didn't get an answer: is there an IPS or AFFS panel that is WSVGA+ (ie 1440x900) that would fit in an x200s with the LED backlight? Thanks.

Take a look here: http://forum.thinkpads.com/viewtopic.php?f=43&t=85025&start=30 Most of your questions are answered there. The Intel Toolbox is not required if you are running Windows 7 and are using the Microsoft ACHI driver. Either scenario 1 or 2 would be ok. Answering your "potential issues": 1...

Note sure what you are asking. Are you asking if having your SSD three-quarters full would impact performance? No it wouldn't. Just to clarify my comment (before someone else jumps all over it): SSDs, some controllers more than others, do reisgter a performance drop the more full they get (as do re...

I love rye & coke!

Also, I like to put movies/tv shows on my laptop (only a few to keep me entertained on the bus and stuff). For flights I use my 16gb flash drive. Will it impact the performance of the SSD by having the hdd around 60/80gb full (20gb free space)? Note sure what you are asking. Are you asking if havin...

According to the driver page under the ICH9M SATA controller I have the intel drivers. Any chance you could link me to the correct MS ACHI driver file? You already have the driver, as it comes with Windows 7. You probably used Lenovo System Update, which changed it to the Intel one. What you have t...

I have: G2 drive, 02HD Firmware Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit And I cant tell if I have the MS or Intel driver (In device manager, the intel drive shows a microsoft driver from 2006!) Is that correct? I would like to get TRIM completely working (as I had no idea it was not working, Crystal disk inf...

Hey thanks, I had no idea I didnt have the most recent firmware (Im apparently running version 02HA). And the Intel SSD tool looks very handy, do you know what the SSD Optimizer actually does (Under management tools)? In order for TRIM to work on your x301: 1) you need to have the G2 version of the...

AFAIK, it's a different feature, yes, but the goals are pretty much the same: actually freeing erased blocks, remapping as necessary, so as to reduce the performance degradation caused by the need to erase when writing. In the case of GC, this remapping is done when the drive is idle, i.e. "in the ...

[snip] Also, what should I do for upkeep on the drive? I have it set to never turn off the SSD when im plugged in, and i plan to leave it on overnight once a week or so so trim and garbage collection can do its thing but is that pretty much it? Do you have the latest firmware? TRIM is not supported...

I understand that. I don't actually intend to fill the drive up, assuming 128GB doesn't refer to a cumulative write of 128GB to the drive over time (my understanding of SSDs is limited TBH). I also expect that I'll dump a disk image periodically, zero the drive and re-image (assuming that you can z...

[snip] I expect I'll upgrade it before I notice the lack of the TRIM function (say 2-3 years time). Don't think it will take that long to notice. I would suspect performance would start to degrade once you write more than 128GB to the drive (assuming you don't "zero" it at any point, which would pu...
