Where did you get the plastic pry bars?
You can buy it from eBay.
Thanks, David
I used a plastic kiwifruit knife. Worked fine, but make sure you wash and dry it first.
Hi David,
I’m using a Lenovo Thinkpad 2 tablet. Just a few days back, I accidentally damaged my tablet’s screen. The warranty period has expired, and when I contacted the Lenovo service center, they asked for a very high fee(nearly one-third of the tablet’s price). Now, I have 2 queries for you:
1. Can you provide a tutorial on how to change the Lenovo Thinkpad 2 LCD Display Panel and Touch Screen?
2. Can you tell me an online source from where I can buy the Lenovo Thinkpad 2 LCD Display Panel and Touch Screen?
Thanks
Is the RAM and storage upgradable?
The RAM and storage can not be upgraded.
Hi Everyone,
I need critical help!
I got the LTE version of ThinkPad 2 (64GB, 32-bit) from another seller. It appears that he or she attempted to upgrade from Windows 8 to Windows 10. It was apparently unsuccessful. I have been trying to install a fresh copy of either Windows 8 or Windows 10 from USB. I was able to make a UEFI bootable USB and image the Windows 8.1 ISO into it. I successfully booted and went through the first couple of screens and came to a screen that displayed the hard drive and partition configuration. But for every drive and partition, there is a message displayed “Windows can’t be installed on drive 0 partition”, and clicking on it shows a dialog box with “We couldn’t install Windows in the location you chose. Please check your media drive. Here’s more info about what happened 0x80300001”. I deleted all partitions and created new ones and formatted them. But it still shows the 0x80300001.
I understand TPT2 has an EEPROM hard disk. How and where can I get the drivers for this EEPROM SSD HDD? I am in quite a spot 🙁
Thanks
Hi, can someone help me find a motherboard for that tablet with shipping to Bulgaria?
Thank you in advance.
You can contact Lenovo to buy it. Our supplier has the motherboard, but it is too expensive.
Dear David,
Please send me your price, including shipment, because Lenovo cannot sell me that part. They are only working with licensed repair centres.
Thank you in advance.
