X1 carbon 3rd gen, lcd panel upgrade

Hello,I have a X1c 3rd gen with the FHD TN-panel. I don't like this panel very much, and would like to upgrade it. What options do I have, and where do I find the parts?If at all possible I would like to get the WQHD with touch panel. Can I install that on my X1c?Second option would be to get the non-touch WQHD IPS screen. Thanks,Jonte

There are no panels manufacturer p/ns or Lenovo service p/ns (FRU) on the site. So, if that site clames panels compatibility with x1c gen3, the IPS screen looks like a proper choice, its price matches the such screens.
My only question is a screen surface type. X1C FHD non-touch screens laptop supports are anti-glare (have a look at the fru_bom file above), while the site promises glossy surface for the IPS screen. At the same time the IPS screen at the bottom (out of the stock) is matte. So, obviously it's needed to request the panels manufacturer p/n and Lenovo FRU the site offers..

X1 Carbon (3rd Gen, 2015) sound in xubuntu 15.04

I am running xubuntu 15.04 on an X1 carbon 3rd gen. Mostly works great. But sound volume is much lower than in Windows, whether through built-in speakers or through headphones. I have turned up all output devices and playback applications to 100% in the pulseaudo control panel, but it's still too quiet. If I go > 100%, it distorts. Has anyone else experienced this?

AFAICT, it's a bit of a known issue with ALSA.
You might want to try fiddling with the preamp in the equalizer, and set any frequencies that the speakers can't play to zero.
FWIW, here's my foobar2000 equalizer for my W520 under Windows (no Dolby), which is a bit louder than uneqed and doesn't seem to clip audibly on most audio sources.

2560 x 1440 in VMware Workstation 11 with X1 Carbon 3rd gen?

I've installed Windows 10 Preview in a virtual machine with VMware Workstation 11 on my X1 Carbon 3rd gen. (20BS). By default, the display in the VM is recognized as Generic Non-PnP Monitor and the highest compatible resolution I can select for it is 1920x1440, which means I have black vertical bars on both sides. Other, higher listed resolutions are: 2048x1536, 2560x1600 and 2560x1920, but what I want is 2560x1440.
As suggested in this VMware KB article, I have added the following lines to the .vmx file:
svga.autodetect = "FALSE"
svga.vramSize = 14745600
svga.maxWidth = 2560
svga.maxHeight = 1440
14745600 is 2560x1440x4.
However, this doesn't work. When I start the VM, I get a dialog box telling me: "The virtual machine could not be changed to the selected monitor layout."
Is anyone able to run a Windows VM at 2560x1440 on an X1 Carbon with VMWare Workstation 11?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I found the solution here: disable 3D acceleration.
This is done by changing the following line in the .vmx:
mks.enable3d = "TRUE"
to:
mks.enable3d = "FALSE"
I'm now able to run Windows 10 Preview at the full 2560x1440 resolution supported by my X1 Carbon, great!

X1 Carbon 3rd.gen Chrome crashes on Youtube videos after Intel HD Graphics Driver 10.18.14.42 update

Hi!
Chrome crashes at Youtube videos after Intel HD Graphics Driver 10.18.14.4206 update on Lenovo X1 Carbon 3rd.gen. Since the driver update yesterday, laptop starts suddenly to overheat enormously and become super-noisy as soon as I try to open a Youtube video , no matter on Youtube page, or a external provider with embded youtube video. Chrome becomes unresponsible and has to be terminated. Laptop continues to use fan at extreme level for abot 20 more seconds and then cools down. IE plays youtube videos without problem and all the other videos from Facebook i.e. are playing. Tried original and also Beta version of Chrome, which doesn't help.
Kind regards,Daniil

Hey guys, T450s user here. I think I found an even better workaround for this issue without having to disable hardware acceleration and lower the performance of Chrome as a whole. After long trial and error I found the that driver-related issue is generally narrowed-down to HTML5 acceleration for video playback. By installing the following Chrome Extension I was able to revert YouTube back to the old Flash-based YouTube player and now even 4K playback is absolutely stellar on my T450s running the latest .4222 driver directly from Intel's site! https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/24964/Intel-Iris-Iris-Pro-and-HD-Graphics-Driver-for-Windows-7-8-8-1-64-bit This is of course by no means a fix of any kind but I think it is the best workaround that we have to this date without having to sacrifice performance in Chrome as a whole. Try it out guys! https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/disable-youtube-html5-pla/enmofgaijnbjpblfljopnpdogpldapoc?utm_source=chrome-app-launcher-info-dialog

X1 Carbon (3rd Gen, 2015) questions

Hi all
Displayport
The X1 Carbon 3rd generation (X1 3rd Gen) sports a mini 1.2 displayport (1.2 mDP). The 1.2 DP standard supports daisy chaining of monitors using multi stream transport (MST).
Does this mean the X1 3rd Gen is good to power two 1.2 displayport capable monitors using just the 1.2 mDP?
What about the internal / built-in display, can it be driven at the same time as two external monitors?
If it is not possible with the mDP alone, is it possible to have all three (internal + 2x external) monitors driven by using the HDMI port also?
Memory
Is the 8GB memory limit due the lack of >8GB modules - i.e. there is no 16Gb modules for thsi kind of use?
Changing keyboard
Is the keyboard a Customer Replaceable Part (CRU)? It seems to be so for the 1st generation, but I couldn't find anything for the 3rd generation.
Thanks!

Yes, but you'll need either a monitor with both DisplayPort input and output (you have to attach that monitor to your ThinkPad and the second monitor to the DisplayPort output of the first one) or a DisplayPort Multi Stream Transport hub.

Both should be possible.

No, it isn't (according to the Hardware Maintenance Manual).

Can the iOS in a 3rd gen touch be upgraded?

I've been given a 3rd gen touch with version 3.1.3 installed. When I plug it in to my PC and bring up the itunes store it tells me that this is the current version for my device, no updates available. However, when I try to install an app like "podcasts", I am told that I need iOS 5.1. Is there a solution to this Catch-22?

If iTunes tells you that iOS 3.1.3 is the current version, then you most likely have a 1st generation iPod. You can use one of these tools to find compatible apps:
iOSSearch - Find apps in iTunes for iPhone 3G, iPod Touch 1st, 2nd gen, iOS 3.1.3, 4.2.1 etc.
Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.

X1 Carbon 3rd Gen & Windows 10 Issues

apologies wrong forum

Hi Mohassan903 and welcome to the community,
I have an X1C 3rd generation and how I did it was I used my recovery drive and reset the machine to factory. The Win 10 upgrade showed up right away, (Windows 8.1 wasn't installed yet) and I let it do the upgrade.
I'm not seeing any of the issues that you are seeing. Windows 10 is lightning fast and so far, I don't have any issues with it. My battery life during a download shows to be almost 8 hours.
Did you do the bios update that has support for Windows 10?
I just now put Windows 10 on and I'll continue to test it, but right now I don't see any issues with it.
Regards,
Dave

X1 Carbon (3rd Gen, 2015) HDMI audio issue

Hi,
i recently used my X1 to connect it to my TV via HDMI. It worked like a charm. Yesterday it stopped working (Nothing was changed. Audio was working, lid was shut. Lid was opened the other day, audio is not working...). I get a video signal, but no audio. To verify, that this is no issue on the hardware defect issue, I booted to an installed Debian and there I get an audio signal over HDMI.
After that I deinstalled the audio and graphic driver, rebooted, installed the audio driver, rebooted again, installed the graphics driver, rebooted again. Still no working audio over HDMI.
After that I tried the procedure above again but installed the audio driver first. Still no success.
The HDMI audo device does not show up in the playback device tab. Not even if I select to show me disconnected devices.
OS: Win 8.1 64bit, drivers a all newest.
What to try next? Any ideas?

You are welcome...you need not worry about the temperature...the temperature (or the boot etc.) was on the older SM 941 one problem..and also you will not have any problem with the latest bios version on the carbon .there is no white list in the carbon bios etc.for the ssd's (that means you can use any ssd's on the carbon..Samsung ,Toschiba ,Intel etc..at the moment only Samsung is x4 speed and the fastest on the market) in the bios..and the bios will detect it as a bootable drive whitout any problem...and that's the truth and fact.Best regards..

Apps close on start with 3rd gen iPod after software upgrade

I have an iPod touch 3rd gen. Just upgraded software to 4.3.5. Now I cannot start apps on second page, first page is fine. App starts to come up, but then close immediately.

3rd gen iPod Nano will not sync with latest version of iTunes. It passes the connectivity test but not the sync test under diagnostics. Worked fine on old Windows 7 laptop but not new one. From Control Panel it shows up as an Apple iPod USB Device...

Never mind, I think. I think I figured it out. There was 1 song (out of > 900!) that somehow had been purchased with the other ID - I have no idea how. Once I deleted that song, it stopped asking.
There may be something with the newest iTunes version too. I didn't think in older versions that the "On this iPod" list of songs was greyed out. But at least it syncs ok.

Following ultimately helped me : Make sure that you are logged in at the App Store App or iTunes App with your apple ID and password with a US account. Turn your iPad off and on and than you should see the Radio button again. It won't work if you are logged on with a foreign account. If you are not logged in at all, it worked, too.

IPod Touch 3rd Gen: Battery Draining very rapidly after iOS4 upgrade.

Hello All,
Sorry for the long post:
I was wondering if others are experiencing this issue as well? I have a 3rd gen ipod touch 64gb.
Prior to the iOS4 upgrade my battery life was very decent. I would easily go a couple(2) days before requiring a full charge on the device even with modest internet, game and music use. As a rule I keep my back light as low as I can stand to conserve battery unless I'm in direct sunlight and have no choice but to bump it up in order to see.
After the iOS4 upgrade my battery life has been drasticly reduced. Going even 24 hours without plugging the device in is totally out of the question and in many cases I find myself having to plug the device into my laptop or car pretty much any chance I get in order to have uninterupted use of the device while I'm out and about. Although I've never timed my actual use, my usage habbits have not changed as far as I'm concerned.
I went so far as to exchanging the device at my local bestbuy as I purchased the blacktie protection plan which grants me an exchange of the device for "any" reason; be it manufaturer defect, accidental breakage, or anything really short of losing it. The replacement was a brand new non refurb ipod which I synced and charged fully upon bringing it home. To my suprise, the battery life is just as bad as the ipod I just turned in. I have yet to downgrade to iOS3 but am considering it if only to see if I suddenly see a great improvement of the battery life.
If anyone is having the issue or has some suggestions other then downgrading please comment. If this is an "unknown" bug/issue/flaw in iOS4 I'm sure apple would like to know about it and I'm assuming they monitor these forums for reports of these issues.
Thanks!

3rd Gen Ipod won't sync with Itunes since upgrade to Snow Leopard

Hi,
I upgraded from Tiger to Snow Leopard and since then my trusty 3rd Gen Ipod will not sync with iTunes (9.0.3). It mounts in Finder, but does not appear in iTunes. The iPod will still charge, but it constantly displays the "Do Not Disconnect" message until manually ejected.
Any help gratefully received.

Thank you kindly

Stuck on Boot 3rd Gen after upgrade to ios 8.1 via itunes following init

Yesterday the latest update was applied and the initialization questions completed.
The device rebooted and now it does not get past the apple logo.
If the power and home button are held down together it turns off. If the power button is pressed it displays the apple logo.
There is no other functionality.
Is there a way to fix this or does it need to be reset, or restored from backup?
The ipad was too full for a normal update but itunes thought it had enough space to upgrade.
It went through the initial init screens just fine after the upgrade. It was only after it went to reboot following this that there was a problem..
This iPad has Verizon service on a shared account. The sim card is not the one it shipped with.
It is 3rd Gen retina display 64gb wifi / 4G wireless
You would think there would be a community per model and a discussion about upgrades.
But alas no.

I hope you have a backup for the device because you will need to restore the device. To put your device into recovery mode plug the device into your computer with iTunes then press and hold the home button and the sleep/wake button. The unit will power off and turn back on, right before the Apple logo appears release the sleep/wake button and the iPad should show the iTunes logo. In iTunes open your device and press the restore button. When the iPad finishes reinstalling iOS, select your latest backup either from iTunes or on the device through iCloud backup and your device should be good to go.
