Think its possible to upgrade a x230 with a TN display to a IPS display? Ive been seeing x230's at decent prices but mostly come with the TN display. I could probably get a IPS panel from laptopscreens though I was just wondering if it could be easily swapped or not. Any cables need replaced...

Hey thanks for the suggestion! Yeah Ive tried making a custom DPI setting on my T430 with the 1600x900 screen in the past and it does help, the text just doesnt appear as crisp. I definitely want the FHD screen, but after seeing my 1600x900 screen on my T430, I do just wonder how small...

Trying to decide between 1366x768 IPS (300 nit) display and FHD 1920x1080 IPS (400 nit) display. This is going to in a 12.5" laptop. Which one would you pick? Will the font just be to small to read on a 12.5" screen with the 1920x1080?

Wow...cool. Yeah I looked at the Hardware Maintenance Manual and the list of Service Parts and Im definitely saving that information. That'll come in handy for sure. Thanks for info!

Hey just wanted to say you were right! Im typing on my new backlit keyboard right now, and everything works just fine and the backlight works just as it should. Im glad it works just as you said it would. In the past I tried replacing the keyboard in my dell e4300 with a backlit keyboard and...

Hey sounds good. So everything will work, the backlight, and all the functions?

Hello all, wanted to know if anyone has ever successfully installed a backlit keyboard into a Thinkpad T430 without the backlit. The T430 I got last week does not have a backlit keyboard and Id like to have that option. The backlit keyboards cost more so I was hoping to get some confirmation...
