  1. Testade att koppla min docka från #Dell med min #T480 som kör #Linux #Mint och det verkar vara full kompabilitet, hårdvara som mjukvara. Mint lyckades även identifiera min 32” från Asus direkt, vilket #Windows11 på jobbdatorn inte gör.

    En nyckfull men stilla undran: Varför behöver vi nya saker?

  2. So, I did five production level projects with affinity 2 running on my #t480 over wine using fedora 43.

    Designer and Photo do run without crashes (I didn't had any). But there are sometimes gliches and some actions – like applying a mask on a layer group – might take half a minute.

    My conclusion is that this setup is sadly not reliable enough to do things professionally with it.

  3. I had the PS3 controllers laying around the other day and tried painting them just for fun with the #thinkpad #t480 . Turns out it‘s a no brainer and works out of the box like you do on the PS3.

    Now I need a nice little game to play. Any ideas for a fun little adventure or racing game?

  4. I bought a . Probably at the right time, as these are sinking to the bottom of the stocks kept by the big brand refurbish shops. I always wonder what happens to these after the big shops decide they are not worth the hassle.

  5. Sometimes the alignment is just off a bit. Taking it apart is a good first step. Also something could be sticking up and physically blocking the bottom cover from fully closing.

    Also, I usually click in the front of the laptop, after putting the bottom cover at a slight angle, front first. Then click in the rest of the bottom cover, back last.

  6. Endlich ist das #t480 Display angekommen. Allerdings ist es ohne Brackets, also wohl nicht ganz dasselbe Modell.

    Model B140HAN04.0 von "AU Optronics".

    Zwei kleine Tupfen Doppelklebeband halten das Display jetzt im Rahmen.

    Zu spät habe ich mitbekommen, dass man auch ein T490 Low Power Display verbauen kann. Mal schauen ob es mal irgendwann ein Upgrade gibt.

    Operation erfolgreich, Patient läuft wieder. 🎉

  7. CW: Could be perceived as advertising.

    Could anyone with a #lenovothinkpadT480 and a 65 W Ikea "Sjöss" charger try if they are compatible and charge fast and reliably?

    I know Ikea is not all green and good (they introduced fast furniture iirc) but the electronics always seemed reliable and affordable to me (LED bulbs, NiMH 'eneloop' style batteries).

    This 65W small form factor (is it GaN or something?) sounds like a steal for 13 €. But the #t480 is picky with PPS chargers therefore some real world testing is necessary.

  8. So ein Mist. Das #T480 ist immer noch tot: Das eDP Verbindungskabel zwischen Display und Mainboard wars nicht.

    Jetzt habe ich mal ein Ersatzdisplay bestellt für 52 Euro mit 0-Pixelfehler-Garantie.

    Wenn das auch nicht klappt ist es wohl ein Schaden am Mainboard selbst, weil die RAMs habe ich schon kreuz- und quer- und ausgetauscht ohne Änderung.

    Display Modellnummer LM140LF2L soll es sein.

  9. Mein #Thinkpad #T480 zeigt seit heute nur noch Streifen (also außer in den oberen 15% des Displays).

    Mist.

    Ich hab mal das Verbindungskabel DC02C00BC10 zwischen Mainboard und Panel als Ersatzteil bestellt. Hoffentlich hilft es...

  10. You can take it out and examine the touchpad. Usually the internal battery has to be removed to gain access to the screws that release the touchpad.

    I have had to replace a few touchpads, but sometimes just taking them out, cleaning a bit and reinstalling makes them behave better.

    The replacement touchpad part is not that expensive (usually) and should be fairly readily available for the T480 as that is a common model.

  11. On the ThinkPad T480, the USB-C ports, both the "charging port" and in the "dock" connector are soldered to the motherboard and not easy to replace.

    Note that you can use both USB-C ports to charge the laptop and both for data.

  12. @qwertzy @thorsten die Lenovo #t480 haben Intel Core i5 oder i7 Prozessoren der 8000er Reihe und sind somit win11 fähig.

    Die T480 sind auch die letzten mit herausnehmbatem Akku. Ab T490 muss man aufschrauben zum Akku Tausch. Was aber auch kein Problem ist im Gegensatz zu Acer oder anderen Consumer-Büchsen.

    Ich mag mein T480. Keine Schönheit, eher robuster Panzer. Kantig, zweckmäßig, zuverlässig. Laden über USB-C mit jedem 65W PowerDelivery Netzteil.

  13. so far I tried debian, pop!os (20), fedora 42/43/silverblue, cachyOS and arch on the #thinkpad #t480 - ah yes, and win10 for about 5 minutes. What I still plan to test are majaro, ubuntu, openSuse, elementary, freeBSD, gnomeOS and Haiku.

    I'd also try Gentoo but imho I don't have time for that as I used to.

  14. The next partition got a cachyos. Not sure about that one. Definitely not win10 normy ready #thinkpad #t480

  15. Oh gosh, the fedora 43 installer got even worse when you get even a milimeter of the path #thinkpad #t480

  16. Ok scrapped fedora silverblue again and installing workstation. Nice idea but I’m not ready yet #thinkpad #t480

  17. Ok, installed a fourth time since I didn’t encrypy the main partition last time. Looks like I finally did it. #thinkpad #t480

  18. Reformatted efi and boot partitions. Third install seems to have worked. #thinkpad #t480
