Your right, I was just more concerned about once im finished - am I gonna
have whats basically a x230 with a stock 13.3" screen, or will I encounter
some problems forever across different distros.
If the upgrade is done, and done properly - will this function like a normal
screen (besides
So I looked into the mod. I might give it a go. Putting my xps 13 on top of
my x230, the difference is night and day. I think id order a pre-cut bezel
as well so I could go for the 13.3" inch FHD screen.
This is the perfect laptop right here: https://i.imgur.com/GiasnKg.jpg (minus
It was mostly just some apps that looked crazy. Yes I know I can get it
right with the right amount of time, but I try to minimize problems by just
going with a setup that is more popular. I know 900p with 1x scaling would
cause no problems, give me better battery life, better performance,

You mind explaining the (yuck!) that you included after listing what you are?
Are there any guides out there to do this? I would also be willing to pay if
its an involved modification.
That 768p screen is my biggest problem with the x230. I would love a super
high res screen, but the last time I tried to deal with scaling in linux it
didnt work out so well. Some
@nadebula.1984 Kinda scares me that no ones flashed coreboot on a thinkpad s1
yet. Im still sitting on a t400s because im scared to flash it without
documentation from others. I would love to contribute to the community, and
wouldnt be against buying this and maybe paying someone to try
Ok finally back home and was able to try and reflash - no success. I got the
message:
"Warning: Chip content is identical to the requested image.
Erase/Write done."
Heres what I narrowed it down to:
1. When extracting the ROM zip I see all these files:

@nadebula1984 Looking into that now, had no idea that this was even an
option. Not sure why its so hard to find coreboot-able devices out there. I
own 2 corebooted chromebooks, and when searching around for "corebootable
devices" they dont even show up - so not sure why there isnt a nice
I'm gonna do a bit more messing with it, but if I cant get it fixed I will
send it to you. What's the turn around time from when you receive it?
Do you do screen upgrades as well? A higher resolution (900p), IPS, LED
brighter screen would make this feel a whole lot nicer.
Any idea what I
Any specific thing I need to do to reflash? Ive only ever just followed
guides to flash online, and I guess Ive been lucky up until this point since
nothing has gone wrong so far.
Should I just follow the instructions from the "flashing the rom" section of
the guide that I posted?
And
2+4. I see that now after doing some research. I guess the X1 carbon is one
of those models that people are having luck with, but I also read somewhere
that not all are missing boot guard and you might get unlucky (seems unlikely
but possible). If it will take coreboot - then you should be
@mason thanks for all the info. Kinda sad that core2duo is as good as you
can get with libreboot, but I do agree EOMA68 looks promising (thought I
heard about some arm processors supporting it as well).
I think I will keep looking on ebay for a reasonably priced x220 or x230 to
pop up and
Hey thanks for the response. Ive seen some x220 on ebay that include 16GB of
RAM so I think itll work on either if needed.
One reason why I was leaning towards the x220 is because Ive heard a lot that
its eventually going to get libreboot support, so if everything else is
almost equal,
Home now trying out sticks. Ive got 4 different kinds right now.
Here is my log of whats happening:
I put one stick in slot 0
Tried with battery in and no battery as well - makes no difference
no wifi card installed, no hard drive
only things plugged in are: LCD screen, keyboard,
Very interested in a device like the x220 or x230 if its possible to install
libreboot or even coreboot with ME neutralized. Anyways, I have questions
about both.
Right now I use a librebooted x200, and a Dell XPS 13 (9360 - not free). I
keep the xps for when I need more power, but the
@uboot Yes everything is properly reseated. I took apart, cleaned and
reassembled a few units before flashing to make sure nothing was messed up
from doing that. Everything was OK until after the flash. I actually forgot
to put the CMOS battery back in at first, so I powered down,
Long story short, I flashed my x200 the other day, and after following this
guide to the T, I thought I had a successful flash:

Anyways, I got to the end, and I got the “Verifying flash. . .
I guess my biggest requirement for a browser is that its completely FOSS, and
doesn't have any proprietary code built into it. So something like Pale Moon
is out for me.
Tor was just too slow last time I used it. I am fine with some tracking as
long as I consent to it. Im worried about
When researching FOSS browsers, you get back firefox, chromium, etc - which
arent totally FOSS.
Why seamonkey over the other ones listed? Are they not totally free? Which
ones of the ones I listed are FOSS?
What do you guys think about BS that mozilla pulled by installing an addon
without the users consent? I was just in the process of fully switching to
Firefox - despite knowing that they were basically just the lesser evil. I
figured as long as the product was good, and I could configure my
Can you show where it needs to be soldered? Theres no way you can use a
pomona clip like on the t400? I would say im decent at soldering - not great.
And besides the soldering, is it bascially the same as a t400?
I did mark it as "not spam", and its funny you mention switching emails - I
Hi Tiberiu, Just saw your email - for some reason gmail thought it was spam.
Anyways thanks for the response.
I have only done a T400 before, so my only question would be: What are the
differences in flashing a T400s?
I will probably wait until a guide is released to do it - too worried
Sorry to bump an old thread. Has a guide for the T400s been released yet?
Sitting on one that I got for cheap that I'm hoping to lireboot.
