Thank you for joining the waiting list :-) . I am sure you will enjoy this mod :-) . About the long cables, I use 1m long cables generally and I also have a 2m cable but it is a bit hit and miss with them as some cables have the emark IC's inside and this means they might be limited to smaller power ratings. I personally use a 2m UGreeen braided cable that works fine uo to 60W( did not test that cable on higher power). If you go with 1m cables, they don't need to be USB certified which means most of them will not have this emark IC and this means less chances to have problems because of the cables. It is not very often that you hear people to have problems with the cables but better to avoid the issue all together :-) .

As long as your laptop is a thinkpad you cna see the voltage output on the charger and that is mostly 20V so a board that you have bought that can output 20V will be ideal.

Hi Matt, I have mods for the W530 but did not yet make a listing for them. Place an order for T420 and write in the comments W530 and I know what to do :-) . Thunderbolt 3 is not an option imho but a rich feature type-C with usb 3 , display port and charge output can be done though that will never be able to be done as a drop-in but it will require soldering to the MB of the laptop. I have toyed with the idea of making it but as there is a lot of work in making it and a lot of work to fit it in the laptop I am not sure how many people would actually want to deal with it :-D .

@MikePDiy

You should measure to confirm what each wire represents. As a rule of thumb( but still measure first !) : the red wires are your V+ or VCC , black wires are your GND and the white wire will be your ID pin. To simulate a 65W charger use a 240Ohm between GND and ID pin. If I would be you I would make sure that my PD charger that I will use can supply 65W also.

Hi , Normally you should go with the same value as you have on your original charger. The higher power will not harm the laptop, it will act just as a buffer in case the the laptop needs a peak of power. The reason that i have explained so much is more for the people who would think to use a 65 or 45w on a laptop that normally needs a 90W charger but in your case you can go with 45W without any problem or 65W if you wish to give some buffer.

Hello I do have a t540p with a i7 4700MQ and a GT730. I took a look on my power supply to find out the power usage. It should be 135 W at 3A (Model: ADL135NDC3A) Is there any way to get this mod for my machine? BTW: great work!

Thank you Jan ! Honestly there is not much point in tryin to use the mod for your laptop as the PD protocol can only output a max of 100W (for the moment) and that would be underpowering your laptop. The only way I see now to go around that would be to 2 use 2 type-C chargers and therefor 2type-c cables but that is worse than using the original charger you have now . I am sorry but for now, unless you prefer type-C charging and willingly want to reduce the charging power to 90W ( taking a hit on the computer performance) typeC PD is not a good solution for your machine :-( .

Can you make these connectors for the Thinkpad Helix 2? It would need one for the keyboard base and another for the tablet section. The plug it uses is already just a tiny bit bigger than USB-C.

I am always up for a chalenge so please give me a link to each connector and I will analyse them. I have tried to search myself but I am unsure wich one is for Helix X1 and whoch one is for Helix 2 :-)

@@MikePDiy It's an interesting device, and in China they're already making cables with USB-C PD on one end and the Helix 2 charging plug on the other. But it would be nice to mod the unit like this if possible. www.ebay.co.uk/itm/142410094187 This is a link from eBay for the charger. The Helix 1 uses the same charger as the laptops in this video, but for the 2nd gen they used a much smaller one, only a bit bigger than USB-C actually.

Sorry to reply so late but I don't seem to get notifications always from youtube . Yep the PD to other type connectors as a cable adapter is an easy job, too easy actually and that is why there are many comanies in China making them :-D . Working with tight spaces is the challenge in the mods that I make :-D . What I was reffering was if you can point me to the replacement part ( the connector that is in the helix 2 ) as I need to buy one and study it :-D . I need to see if I can fit inside it with my board or if I can design another board for it :-D.

btw will this work on 45W chargers? thanks
@MikePDiy
@MikePDiy 4 жыл бұрын
Sure it will work on 45W chargers also but then I would recommend you to use a resistor that would let the laptop know it has a 45W charger connected to it so it will not try to pull more power :-) . I am using a 45W mod on my own X250 :-)

Hi there, sotty but I am not sure about your question :-) . I am going to answer to what I think you are asking and please correct me if I got it wrong :-) . In the X230 video I am using one resistor as I had the correct value but for the X250 I did not have one resistor that would give me the correct value for the ID pin so I have used 2 resitors that summed up gave me a very close value to what the ID pin needed to present to the laptop :-) . I hope I have answered your question :-D .
