#ThinkpadT430

Vuoden -15 ThinkPad T430 -läppärini alkoi takkuamaan yllättäen. On vissiin tahnanvaihdon aika, ja samalla voisi tietysti päivittää prosessorin.

Sitten se, mikä on paras prosessori tähän, mistä sellaisen löytää, ja miten piitahna vaihdetaan? Tällaistakaan en ole koskaan tehnyt. Alan selvittämään.

So I thought about buying a Thinkpad T430 with minimum RAM and hard drive and swap them with components from my old machine. I really like T430.

One thing I am worried is the plastic degradation (it came out in 2012, after all). I had been trying to be careful with my T430 and keep it away from sun when possible, but if I buy a new one (to me, still originally from 2012), I don't know how well it was preserved.

I really like T430, but the way how you (dis)assemble it means hoping the plastic thingies (hinges, I guess) don't break as you have to use some force.

What are other people's experiences? Does it break easily nowadays? Do you find they are in bad condition when bought online?

I have replaced the noisy Toshiba fan+heatsink from my #Lenovo #Thinkpad #T430 with the quieter Delta #fan and #heatsink from the dead Thinkpad T430 that serves as organ donor for the one I use.

The fan noise was getting me crazy. It was unbearably loud. See this video for comparison:

two thinkpads laying on a trans flag with a roll of wood style vinyl foil in front of them

the left thinkpad is a t470 and the right a t430, both have wood vinyl foil applied to their lid, invoking the appearance of the lid being made out of wood

one can't really see it, but the t430 has the foil go all around the lid, further deepening the illusion of the lid being made of wood

Have a good afternoon!
#netbsd10 #wine #thinkpadT430

An old lenovo thinkpad, a nice bottle of wine, in front of a white painted wall. Installing netbsd 10.
Had done another flash for the #Thinkpad-T430. Now it is using #Coreboot-stable-4.7 and #nvramcui is working completely. #Free-and-Libre #Open-Source
Und weiter geht es mit #Coreboot: Jetzt das zweite EEPROM vom #ThinkPad-T430. Danach die ausgelesenen Daten vergleichen! #Work-in-Progress #Free-and-Libre #FLOSS
Erfolg nach einem kompletten Auseinandernehmen: Das erste EEPROM vom #ThinkPad-T430 ist ausgelesen. #Coreboot #Work-in-Progress #Free-and-Libre #FLOSS
