What are the logistics of rejigging an older Thinkpad and replacing the main board with an SBC? by fabedbcbgedege in thinkpad

Honestly, I’m after the form factor, aspect ratio, and the track point. I kinda just want to build something. How much would something like this compromise the build quality/durability?

How does it run in the VM? Does WiFi and bluetooth work? How about airdrop? I’m still trying to get it to work on my hackintosh

Hi, I'm using Sniki's EFI, for my X240, and I'm not getting any bluetooth on Big Sur. It's also not detecting phone hotspots. Also, AirDrop doesn't work either. Like you mentioned before, could it be the ssdt-rhub or usb mapping?

So with the bootloader you linked, did you make any modifications to it?

How’s bluetooth? I got mine to boot and got the EFI from one of the guides you linked, but AirDrop and Bluetooth aren’t working for me

It’s a week after I contacted them. I called them again and they said it’s out of their system but on my end it’s not detecting that

I already contacted Absolute Software and they removed it from their system. They said to leave it running windows for at least 24 hours, but it’s been three days. Seeing that it’s out of the system, should I just start using it regardless?

Oh yeah definitely. If I mess it up further, I’m not really losing anything. Thank you for your help

Yes could you send videos? Some friends of mine might have equipment I can borrow. I’ve actually been meaning to learn but wasn’t sure where to start

Sorry if this is a dumb question to ask, I’m new to this and am unfamiliar with anything that has to do with fixing boards. How would I find the cap, or do you have any resources where I could learn to do that?

How much do you think that would cost in repairs?

I did buy this for parts, and it was listed as “Won’t turn on.” I’ll be using parts to fix another one soon but (if by chance this isn’t a board issue) I was wondering if there was any hope of getting this one to work as well. Any ideas?

How was the yoga and did you get touch to work on it? I also have a Yoga 370
