Yes.
AX200/AX210 do not fit in that oldie.

Thanks so the AX210 won't fit anywhere in the W530.

Does fitting the Intel MPE-AXE3000H Network Card mean i can still fit an mSATA SSD?

Sorry for being thick.

Yes, if you switch off the security chip in BIOS.

Thanks

Once the whitelist is gone, look for a MPE-AX3000H (wifi-6) or MPE-AXE3000H (wifi-6e) card, preferably made by Fenvi.
They are a drop-in for W530.

Do those two WiFi cards still require whitelisting?

Are they a better solution than the Intel AX210 card?

I agree. Is the 130w charger enough to allow charging with the laptop powered on?

Has anyone seen these options before:

Apologies. I have re-read the earlier response.

Did the Thinkmod EC to NVMe adapter even get shipped to anyone or at least anyone outside the States?

https://thinkmods.store/products/expres ... me-adapter

Thank you. No i just found the ExpressCard adaptor via a search for "Thinkmods". It doesn't look like their site allows international shipping. Do note that the W530 cannot boot from an NVMe SSD (no BIOS support as NVMe didn't exist yet when the W530 came out). The Thinkmods adapter has an embedded...

Is it possible to get replalcement screws for the laptop case?

I could take them from an older broken laptop but i would rather buy them if possible?

Hi All, I have downgraded my W530 BIOS to v2.58 in readiness for 1vyrain.

However, i have read about 5 beeps on boot up after 1vyrain is installed. Is this avoidable?

W530 Expresscard bandwidth is PCIe 2.0 x1 which is ~500 megabytes/sec, while the mSATA slot is SATA II @ 300 megabytes/sec Do you have a Thinkmods NVMe adapter? Last I heard he had problems delivering. Is it still around? Thank you. No i just found the ExpressCard adaptor via a search for "Thinkmod...

I seem to remember that the mSATA port was quite slow compared with the normal HDD port on the W530. I was thinking of leaving a copy of Win7 installed on an mSATA SSD and having Win10 or 11 on the HDD port. The ThinkMods have an ExpressCard to NVMe adapter. So, of course i am now wondering if that ...

Is there a guide on installing Windows 10 on the W530 available?

I remember i tried to install Win 10 a few years ago but couldn't all the drivers working properly.


Thanks for any help.

I know ... I know. Mine is a 2438-58U with 32GB memory, 3.2GHz. It's an old machine but it works well... solid modeling Autodesk Inventor, etc. Lately I had to upgrade my Adobe apps ... but some complained about the video hardware and driver .. PhotpShop, PremierPro refused to install. I had the la...

Apply 1vyrain (to remove wifi-whitelist) and install the mini-PCIe AX3000 (version of AX200) wifi card. Thanks very much. I know i should upgrade but i had problems with the video card driver with Windows 10. Are there Windows 7 drivers available for the AX3000? I noticed there is an AXE3000 availa...

Will the keyboard brightness controls work with Windows 7 and Windows 10 with out modification?

I looked on Win0win for a BOE NV125FHM-N62 but their eBay ad says they may ship a LP125WF4 SPB1 instead! Is the LP125WF4 SPB1 compatible?

Has no-one tried the other batter in a W530?

Did you ever find the cause of the fuse blowing?

Perhaps the backlight circuit is shorting to ground somewhere?

I've just come across this post and never thought there was a difference in feel. I have a W530 for which i purchased a new backlit keyboard for, i also have an X230 with a non backlit keyboard. I use both laptops pretty regularly and cannot remember thinking there was any real tactile difference. I...

Can either the 42T4802 vs 0A36303 70++ battery be used in a W530 ?

One is 10.8v 7600mAh and the other is 11.1v and 8400mAh

Perhaps the 42T4802 is an improved version of the 0A36303 ?

Is there any fix for and is the frequency known for the W530?

I am not complaining but I completed the Google order around six months ago but have not received an order number or an ETA.

Could i please have an update?

Apologies if i have not read the Google spreadsheet correctly.

Do either these Chinese boards or Nitrocaster's mod, allow Fn F8/F9 brightness control under Windows 7 or 10?

Do all the T series laptops from the T530 to the T580 have removable batteries?

Do any of the T series from the t530 and above have a quad core processor, or do you have to have a P50 or P51 for still for that ?

I was wondering if it is possible to swap the case of T530 to a newer T540 or above, so the mousepad was back in the middle?

So the X220 keyboard was the greatest and sadly missed ?
