Hey guys! Today we have a quick video showing how to replace the motherboard in the ThinkPad T430! This process is very similar for the T410 and T420 models, however I will be showing the T430 in this video. Enjoy, and thanks for watching!

2019 EDIT: Starting with T430 BIOS version 2.82, EC version 1.14, Lenovo has started to include a digital signature that prevents the keyboard patch from being done, or the battery whitelist form being removed. DO NOT upgrade the BIOS to any version newer than 2.81.
Welcome back to part 2 of my upgrades to the Lenovo ThinkPad X230 laptop! In this part we will be upgrading the RAM and storage, and replacing the X230s island style keyboard with the classic X220 keyboard, and performing an embedded controller modification to get the classic keyboards keys functioning properly. Enjoy!
