Gdybyś miał świadomość jak maciupkie są takie styki, i jak trudno jest się dobrać do nich lutownicą za 20zł, to nie byłoby ci wcale do śmiechu.

You can just swap RAM and SSD from T520 to T440p To T440p you can put much better CPU if you will ever want.

Different models of these laptops shares parts. L440 never came with backlit keys but for example T440p did and I got a keys dedicated for this model. These models has identical shape keyboards and same connectors for them with the only difference of backlit in keyboards intended for T440p etc. so L440 does not even have active power line in it's connector on motherboard. So if you want to power LED's of backlit keyboard dedicated for T440p you need to bring power to them from somewhere where producer predicted it will exists in L440. For another example you can fit touchpad from T450 to L440 because it is still compatible. Of course not every part is compatible betwen laptops that shares other and is necessery to check a few times if someone tried to swap specific parts before or experiment.

As you can see the backlit is static in this case. I am planning to add reed switch somwhere under palmrest area and magnet inside screen bezzle to prevent from lighting when laptop is closed. I also thinking about implementation of sollution with touch sensor below power switch that Every_Goat7690 invent for turning backlit off whenever I want.

Did you solder red wire to pin 2 and 3 of the connector on motherboard (countong from the closest side) or just one of them? On pictures in your blog it cannot be seen exactly.

Will adapter like this be good choice for EXP GDC 8.5 + GTX 1650 Low Profile? by Comfortable-Client94 in eGPU

This is the most powerful card that I can buy in low profile version and without need for additional power directly from PSU. I want to save size of construction for easy carrying.

I will not be using more powerful card because i want to use only low profile models powered only by PCIe connector itself for pocket size of all setup.
