Still looking for information.

I've read the datasheet.
Not every RAM module is compatible even if one matches these specs.

I'm looking for people's tested 16GB-32GB modules (per stick) with Thinkbook G7 ARP 14" (16" on Ryzen is relevant also).

Or even any memory tested with a laptop with Zen 3+ CPU (not Zen 4,5 etc).

Hi! Looking for a list of 32-64GB RAM kits/sticks. Please be specific with exact RAM stick/kit part/model #. Feel free to discuss other Thinkbook G7 ARP 14" HW upgrade questions here. This thread is Ryzen model specific (Intel model HW compatibility may be very different, especially for RAM). Thanks

Have you tried Linux on L14?

Does 1vyrain remove battery check for original in T430s or still need to do Hamishcoleman Thinkpad-EC hack?

If still need Hamishcoleman Thinkpad-EC hack, can it be done AFTER 1vyrain install? (I already 1vyrain v5)
Thank you.

Still have the questions above

I have completely, meaning permanently deactivated the Intel ME / AMT in the BIOS - also because there are certain security concerns about this, which have been reported on various occasions. Are you sure its deactivated in BIOS? On my 1vyrain BIOS IME doesn't care what option I set - its still act...

Hi! If you bought a battery for T430s within the last few years, whats the store/manufacturer/seller you bought from? Or any general brands you recommend? Aliexpress is fine (no rush). I have 1vyrain BIOS, but not sure if it removes battery whitelist? Any other thinkpad has compatible battery with T...

xx30 Series uses PC3-12800 / DDR3-1600MHz RAM.
Anything faster just might work, but is not guaranteed.

Yes, but this is official info.
I've seen many reports of people using even 2133.

Hi, Anybody uses 1866MHz RAM with i5-3320M CPU? ( 8gb per module ) What is the exact model # of RAM you use? T430s , but ANY laptop model with this cpu is relevant. I know there's also 2133 RAM, but its extremely rare and expensive. Chipset Intel Panther Point QM77 , North Bridge Intel Ivy Bridge-MB...

Gray is Main Black is Aux This is helpful, but I also got AW-123H, which has NO Main/Aux markings. It has antennas marked "1" and "2" . These antenna are intended to work on either/both 2.4ghz and 5ghz band. Where you got this info from? Sorry I am taught to question everything;) Red/Blue are for o...

Anybody seen datasheet for T430s antennas?
Need to know which ones are for 2.4ghz and which for 5ghz, which is for WIFI or Bluetooth.

I also bought AW-123H for 2nd T430s laptop and not sure whats the best way to connect antennas?

Otherwise the Aliexpress specials that solder an 802.11ax BGA card onto a half size MPCIE adapter with MHF1 terminals soldered on covers the interim machines up to **30 gen with only a half size MPCIE slot. If you mean smth like AX-3000H (don't remember exactly) - its based on AX200/210 and has no ...

You bought a Broadcom Azurewave card with Bluetooth 4.0 instead of Intel AX200 or AX210 with BT 5.1 (or better). :BAAAD!: There's no driver for Win7 for AX200. May be if/when I switch to win10 (which I hate btw :) ) There might be separate bluetooth hardware for Win7, I have it in my hands (from T4...

I have a card like that, the AW-CB160H with three MHF4 antennas in the MCPIE factor. Would you please share a screenshot or values of AW-CB160H from device manager -> right click -> properties or information -> choose tab smth like " Device ID " (this is from Win7). Looking for Ven #, Subsys #, Rev...

Hi, What are the best/fastest MiniPCI-E LTE or 5G modems? (for US) Need for T430s , whitelist hopefully removed. Full-size should fit (space is at least twice longer than half-size WIFI card). 2 antennas (and might steal 1 more unused from WIFI). Please indicate modem antenna connector type if known...

Thank you.

Anybody has experience soldering 2 wires (1.4mm and 1.13mm diameter) together for AC/N protocol?
Is it OK for the high frequency signal?

Anybody seen U.FL or MHF4 crimper?

I have a card like that, the AW-CB160H with three MHF4 antennas in the MCPIE factor. Many sellers of these cards include three MHF4 to MHF1 cable extenders. I would seek to use those extenders if using this card in a ThinkPad. Thank you, I wish I started this topic earlier :) Thats exactly what I a...

Check this adapter: https://www.ebay.ie/itm/193394315889 Thank you, my new card is Mini-PCI , only need to convert antennas to MHF4, not the slot itself. Interesting though as another option. Anybody tried such adapter in T430s? Not sure if there's enough space for such adapter+M.2 card+cables as t...

Thank you, its useful experience!

Do you know whats the purpose of foil flexible sticker such as in T540P antenna? (you seem to have experience with it)
I wonder if plays some electrical role and a significant part of antenna?

My T430s has similar foil sticker.

have had poor experience trying to custom fit non-original antennas.

This is interesting experience!
please tell me more what exactly you tried?
Was it OEM antenna but from another laptop, or some kind of stickers from China?

Whoever built my second-hand X330 totally fubared the retrofit of aftermarket antennas

Do you know what exactly was wrong with aftermarket antennas?

Personally I would make my attempt with MHF4 to MHF1 cable adapters/extenders. Thank you for your response, I'm will definitely try it 1st. I'm just afraid I won't be able to fit the extra length of adapters/extenders (I'm still waiting for adapters). There's a certain route for cables and especial...

Hi, Is there MHF4 connector antennas (possibly from newer thinkpads) that fit/could be easily mounted in T430s? In what series/year Thinkpad (or other Lenovo laptops) switched to MHF4 connector? Or what model you know for sure has MHF4 connector? Or please specify exact model of your WIFI adapter an...

Hi, Looking for recommendation on specific adapter for FHD (1080p is plenty) and MATT/Anti-Glare IPS LCD panel for T430s . Both ebay and Ali works, but looking for specific seller/links. As long as its IPS panel (or other not TN), even around 1600x900 is OK, do NOT need 2K or higher at all (no flick...

How much did you pay for it? Did you order it directly from lenovo or from a reseller? was it 65 or 90W?

Please advise a power adapter for T430s with discrete graphics. I know that lenovo sells them, but 90W cost 60$, which I believe is expensive. There is a lot of 40Y7659 compatible adapters on amazon and eBay but I don't know if they are genuine and I don't want my notebook to die because of power ad...
