I posted over on https://forum.thinkpads.com/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=136996 the parts I have from the #ThinkPad #T530 that I #cannibalized. One of the USB ports was dead, and there was nothing obvious on the motherboard that was wrong. So I am going to use the #USB port from the T530 daughtercard to fix a different ThinkPad I have where the plastic tonged inside the port is broken off.

I hate to take these parts to #ewaste and figured someone in the various communities could use these parts & would be interested.

Some #pictures are attached, check out the #forum post for all the items & #images.

Anyone know if it's possible to replace a t530 trackpad with one that supports multi-touch gestures on linux?

Ein #linuxnoob hier.

Will gerade #linuxmint auf einem #lenovo #t530 installieren über einen USB-Stick. Bin vorgegangen, wie im offiziellen Guide vorgegeben. Die Installation läuft durch, ohne Fehlermeldung - aber anschließend wird nur das Boot-Menü gezeigt und ein starten in Mint klappt nicht.

Tipps, wo ich Fehlerquellen finden könnte? Oder Online-Quellen, die helfen?
