Here is the proper guide I followed to modify the BIOS: notthebe.ee/blog/removing-the-wifi-whitelist/ note that newer versions of UEFITool no longer include UEFIPatch, you have to download github.com/LongSoft/UEFITool/releases/tag/0.28.0

I got this T440P for free, but it needs some work. this post had a lot of info that was helpful when choosing parts: octoperf.com/blog/2018/11/07/thinkpad-t440p-buyers-guide/ these videos were handy for installing the trackpad without dealing with the official lenovo way, and getting the drivers to work: th-cam.com/video/vOXz-tr41KM/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/iap3qJKpR84/w-d-xo.html

Sorry for the awful framing. My GoPro died and so I'm using my phone, which has a narrower field of view, plus it's stand is shorter.

how did you got windows 11 on t440p?
Two questions, is there a file that works with the T450? And can I remove the display whitelist as well?
Its not the wifi card. Your internet provider services might be suck. I use the realtek RTL series from 2010 it can download up to 4 mbps just fine.

nice video i sub
Thank you!
The newer iPhones have serialized part time so when you put in a new battery it gets rid of the battery health reading in settings is that the case with this one as well?
No, they didn't add that until later. The 5 is the last iPhone with nothing serialized, the home button is serialized on the 5S.
Great Video Keep it up !
Thanks!
Those black nails piss me off, every westoid LGBT supporter has them, whats going on in the west?
Watching this on my. S9+ . Where did you got the back glass from ? If it's eBay please share the link if possible. And how's your battery health?
I got it from InjuredGadgets
@@dougsdevices1981 oh it might not shipping to my country.
I'm tryna get a AX200 plugged and working, not sure if it's working at its best though
The clear case looks very cool!
Thank you!
Amazing result man Keep it up 🎉
Thanks so much!
congrats you now have a nothing phone knock off
You are too clumsy when handling objects.. try to be more precise and cautious.
That turned out to be good. I always wanted to have S9/S10 since it was released, it was Samsung peak design for me
Yeah I like the design too, im thinking of fixing up some sort of s10 eventually to replace this s9
Impressive! What did you do with your new phone?
I'm very Happy seeing you returned!
Thank you!
I did a T540 i7 swap into a T440s chassis and receivng the same 1802 error. I am going to try this when I get back home. The greatest laptops ever made with the worst anti-consumer restrictions. Lenovo could have been such an amazing company if they didn't tarnish their brand with tomfoolery like this.
IBM always had a wifi whitelist...
10:52. I can't get the display cover to snap back properly, no matter how I do it the right side sticks out a little. Is there anything I should do?
Why you put that ugly apple sticker on this beautyfull Thinkpad, this is profanation.
Couldn't you just use a serial card? Or did your computer not have any PCIe slots?
Wait, what does the WiFi upgrade do???
Probably change orginal 2.5G to 5G wifi speed. I use orginal and its ok not need flash bios, for wifi.
Ffs… some of you guys need to out and touch GRASS. Seriously, get your head out of being obsessed with a bulky ThinkPad. It’s just a laptop that is the same looking as all the other friggin laptop sold.
Try this: Bring your good old T440p to your garden, open a beer and watch some videos on your dear Thinkpad sitting in the grass while reading funny comments written by grumpy farts. It’ll significantly lighten up your life, grandpa.
@@CRO-dr4si im just 9 year old and i use AI to help correct me write. i hate thinkpads stop bullying me
@@Skibbby-yes Cretin.
@@Skibbby-yes I agree your behaviour seems like a nine year old. Absolutely correct.
I have an original 1600x900 display on my t440p Lenovo. Do you think its a good choice to swap it to a IPS screen instead? Will it make a difference?
Yes, a big one.
What's the model of the screen you used?
Got a link to the wifi-card you replaced the stock T440P one with?
this is the card I used: www.amazon.com/Intel-802-11ax-Bluetooth-Adapter-Notebook/dp/B0B4T696W5/ref=sr_1_4? although any m.2 wifi card with drivers for your operating system should work.
It’s interesting how the installation and running is so slow on your modern system with virtualised Windows. I have a Compaq Evo N620c laptop that I’ve prepared specifically for Mindstorms - I chose this model (from 2004) because it has Windows 98 driver support, plus a real serial and parallel port as well as USB for convenience. It’s a very fast Windows 98 system, being a 1.5GHz Pentium M. Installation of Mindstorms 1.5 took less than five minutes and it starts with only a second displaying ‘Loading…’ The software really flies, videos play immediately, and it’s especially nice not to have User Account Control or any other interventions. Also, the 1024x768 display works well for RCX code - not so great for all those video segments that seem to expect a 640x480 display!
hi nice video, just a thought..what happens if I update to the latest bios, would the mod remain?
It's probably not a good idea to try, updating to the latest bios would probably either fail, remove the mod, or brick your machine. This laptop is old enough that it isn't getting new bios updates, so you can just update to the latest bios before you start, and do the mod with the latest bios, and not change it after that.
Hey, by doing this will I be able to connect to 5ghz networks?
Whether you can connect to 5ghz wifi determined by whether your wifi card supports it, so if you install a card that supports 5ghz wifi (which nearly every modern card does) than you can connect to those networks. I would recommend searching online whether the card yours came with stock supports 5ghz though, mine had the Intel AC-7260 which did. If yours should support it but you can't get 5ghz wifi to work, its probably either bad drivers, something messed up with your router, or you have bad signal strength, which can sometimes kill 5ghz connections but not 2.4
This notebook is good for learning python programming and other lightly things? Linux or windows ?
After upgrade you can use win 11 or any linux you want. Not only this thinkpad even older can do this. MY have 16GB ram 4core cpu 1TB ssd. And intel gpu for coding or linux you not need more.
The T440P is an incredible machine. This guy goes through all of the ways to upgrade a T440P th-cam.com/video/dT_xevPwKjo/w-d-xo.html I have four of them, and they run Windows 11 and Linux and are cheap.
When I try to use flashrom i get these errors: -"No EEPROM/flash device found" - "Found Generic flash chip "unknown SPI chip (0 kB, SPI)" I cannot make any dump..do you think is caused by the clip? Thank you
Problem solved. My green ch341a with voltages switch wasn't good
Usually is the clip (or the type of connection you made) that does not sit properly on the eeprom.
It was difficult to get it running on Windows XP. For me, what worked was downloading QuickTime 6.5.2 from Apple and then writing a custom batch file to delete a temporary file that causes a crash every time it runs, and using that batch file to run the program. Also, I'm pretty sure you can get the USB tower to work on 32-bit Windows 10, but I haven't tried.
Curios if this would work with a Lenovo Z50-75?
Also thanks for demonstrating this!
I replaced my screen to IPs but colors are muddy? Does yours look clear for video play back?
*I don’t understand what lenovo was trying to accomplish locking the system from booting with unsupported wifi chips, really the only thing that matters when installing a new wifi card would be OS support for the drivers, and yet thinkpads are supposed to be pretty upgradable. Weird*
All it did for me was to make me stop suggesting Lenovo for my clients once I found this out!
Yeah, it sucks. I have a newer thinkpad that's still stuck with a slow 802.11ac card but that one I can't upgrade because they locked down the bios and I don't think it can be patched, so I'm just stuck with it.
@@dougsdevices1981 I wonder if they set that limitation due to Intel's very own idiocy with their CNVio vs CNVio2 incompatibility issues.
@@dougsdevices1981 I have an MSI gaming laptop that is only a couple of years old that is stuck with AC as well... so its not just a Lenovo problem.
hello, I also have an old hp ProBook 6360 b laptop and I wanted to switch to wifi 6 as well, do you think there would be a patch for hp as well? Thank you
I replaced my WIFI card in my HP ProBook 650 g1 with an Intel WI-FI AX200 1600Mhz and it just worked without any patches or anything. For your HP ProBook it should just work straight up.
Why did you replace the Wi-Fi card?
I wanted faster wifi, but tbh I really mostly wanted an excuse to make a video and dip my toes into BIOS mods.
You can also use usb2serial on a modern pc
thanks for the vid! I just got an old kit off ebay and was wondering what hoops I'd need to jump through to get it to work. you saved me a lot of time!
A very entertaining video 😀
you can actually repair those old cables pretty easily, the plug ends are snapped together and can be opened with a little finesse and the wires inside are only attached by vampire taps so you can just pull out the old wires once you have the plugs open and push in new ones, speaker wire works fine for this, the only exception to this is things like the light sensor which are glued shut and internally soldered, you can still get it open end replace the cable but its a fair bit more destructive and wont look all that good afterward if you are too rough with it
🤓
You look like that harry potter character with orange hair :D
Very helpful. Just inherited a T440p but it has the rubbish TN 720p panel. Can this be replaced with a 1080p panel?
probably, although you might have to replace the display cable if yours came with a 720p screen out of the factory.
Easy to change the screen just follow instructions takes like few minutes
@@dougsdevices1981 dont need man, its plug and play
bro why bo one watched this? am I the only one who enjoys these kind of videos?
your are not the only one
Thanks for this video. I plan to do this even tho I have it working on an old PC. One PC is all I have room for. BatteryPoweredBricks has a video on how to repair your 9v wires.
I like the footage of the wood boards at the start 🥰🥰🥰
I remember this thing being in an episode of Zoom I always wanted it but it was too expensive
cuold try to see if there are custom rom for some of those tablets.
nice job
