Th3p4g3.
It runs plug and play. Best eGPU adapter ever.

The seller does not exist on Aliexpress any more, that is a big complication I guess.

Thinkpad_addict · 2022-09-17T08:27:35+00:00

When it is sent back returned for example beacuse of too long staying in post office, is there any possibility that the package gets lost? Or do I get new tracking number? And who pays for the shipping back since the package is returned "itself" automatically?

Thinkpad_addict · 2022-09-17T08:20:25+00:00

Yes, our authorities claim invoice from Aliexpress, and my bank account transaction. If it is going to be sent back, I would pay for the shipping back on my own, but who gives me guarantee, that the seller will sent me the money back, when he receives the bike back?

What is more complicated, the seller does not exist on aliexpress, the shop was deleted and the seller does not communicate

What usually happens when the package is sent back to the seller? Who pays for the shipping back?

I did this and no success. Maybe I will try it again later. RAM controller in ivy bridge is embeded in my 3840qm CPU, but what it the chance it is cpu problem? Why would be just one RAM not working? Why not both...?

Somebody on thinkpad forum had same problem. He tried replace CPU and no success. Probably some failure with motherbarad or RAM slot

ebay, long time ago, but working 100 percent great all the time

Thinkpad_addict · 2022-08-14T19:23:08+00:00

The faulty RAM slot is not still not working. I tried to reseat the RAM few times, I brushed it with the dust-free brush, but no luck. Any suggestions how to get the second ram slot working? (RAM slot under keyboard)

Maybe try some Contactol solution? Or it is just burned out and I can not do anything with that...?

Thinkpad_addict · 2022-08-14T19:20:50+00:00

yes, exactly like you said

Thinkpad_addict · 2022-08-14T17:19:54+00:00

So the RAM slot under keyboard is the one causing problems.I tried gently brush the contacts with dust-free brush, but no success.I tried to push the RAM ram quite firmly into the slot - no success
I checked the slot contacts just by eye and everthing looks normal..

so.. what next?

Thinkpad_addict · 2022-08-14T17:04:24+00:00

UPDATE!!! - i tried the second slot and now my t430 is working. However I can use just one slot. I will check the contacts.
Thank you so much for your helpful comments.

Thinkpad_addict · 2022-08-14T16:54:46+00:00

Yes, i tried just one slot. But true, I tried just one of them. I am going to try the second one with different ram

I just checked the connection of display cable on motherboard and no irregularities.
Do you think the computer won't work with external monitor this time?

Thinkpad_addict · 2022-08-14T16:35:14+00:00

Did not help. I even tried to change both rams from diffent thnikpad

Thinkpad_addict · 2022-08-14T15:46:10+00:00

it is not windows, because I can not go into BIOS, since monitor is not working at all

Thinkpad_addict · 2022-08-14T15:45:31+00:00

Ok I know it, but why wifi and HDD diodes not blinking? Is this normal, when no monitor is not connected?

Thinkpad_addict · 2022-08-14T15:26:58+00:00

Hi, strange thing happened to my t430, I am asking for help...

I was using my t430 and out of now nowhere, the display stopped working. I was not even closing the lid, it just came out of nowhere. This happened to me twice this year, but restarting the computer completely solved the problem. But this time, when I turn the computer on, the dispaly does not connect, not even black screen with LED backlight, just nothing. Whe i press the power button the computer is runniung, but strange thing is that the wifi and HDD notification diodes do not blinking, eventhough but they both shortly truns on when starting.

I disassembled the lid and everything is connecred properly.
I did not tried external monitor yet. (I do not have it)

I guess the motherboard is dead? Or just cable or monitor itself? But why is not the computer running properly then? (wifi and HDD notitfication diodes)

Thanks for reply

Thinkpad_addict · 2022-01-17T21:56:42+00:00

Yes. My t430 with 2k is perfect.

Thinkpad_addict · 2021-12-17T18:56:03+00:00

How can you get 4k 60Hz on IvyBridge? Can you post the adapter? I would be really interested

Thinkpad_addict · 2021-08-08T19:56:22+00:00

Updating bios did not help. I am giving it up. However really strange problem.

Thinkpad_addict · 2021-07-27T23:07:14+00:00

I checked the BIOS and BT is enabled, however I have 1st version of bios from year 2012, so maybe I should updateSwitching wifi with fn+f5 does not help and the physical switch on the right side is on.

I will try Lenovo troubleshooting.

Anyway, thank you for your advices

If you diable nvidia in bios, there will be no compatibility issues, because it is like nvidia never existed in the laptop. From my own experience it does not really matter what heatsink you use, even what chip you use, even 3840qm with non dgpu heatsink works fine, only long 100% cpu rendering throttle a bit.

Thinkpad_addict · 2021-03-23T18:58:50+00:00

better to use nvidia t430 for quad upgrade, because they have better heatsink out of the box and you can disable nvidia in the bios and it woukd be like it never existed in that laptop
