Fits perfectly for my X260

For Lenovo charging port Type-C PD X240 X250 X260

Makes using my X260 much more convenient now I can carry one cable, the mod arrived fast (I'm in the UK) and everything does what it should, seller was very helpful, 10/10, everything perfect 5 star across the board

Awesome cable tester and person.

For USB A to Microusb, MiniUSB and USB C cable tester

I ordered and received it. Taiwan to Washington USA about a month to arrive. Opened and loaded the battery. My first one the micro USB port was bad. Used a USB c to micro to get around it works great. Let seller know of issue and he sent a new one. I have received that one and is working like it should. Thanks

[Thinkpad x250] Highly recommended in every way!

For Lenovo charging port Type-C PD X240 X250 X260

I upgraded my x250 with this charging port, it fits perfectly and sits firmly in the chassis.
Charging speed is on par with the original port, no issues whatsoever.
The quality of the charging port easily holds up with large sellers. The contact is very friendly and professional.
In addition to his highly helpful YouTube tutorials, the seller includes documentation (detailed steps to install the charging port and further points to note) in the delivery.

I do recommend this seller!

Very responsive and friendly seller. Product seems good

For Lenovo charging port Type-C PD T440 T450 T460

The seller has always been responsive and always answers questions/doubts. Received the product after a week to Malaysia and everything went smooth and great. 100% recommended

Update: So my 65W USB PD charger finally arrived and I installed this module and so far it seems to be working just fine. One thing though is that the cable sheath is thicker than the original so it was quite a tight fit

Update 2: So I've removed the metal bracket that screws on top of the connector and now it fits much better and still very stable and sturdy.

Update 3 (3/8/2020): so it's been a month since I've installed this mod and I can say that It's still working perfectly fine and this is absolutely worth every dollar. Having one cable to charge all my devices is just such a relief compared to carrying that brick that comes with the T450s which is outdated and unnecessary. I'm using the Baseus 65w GaN charger with an amazonbasics cable and it's been amazing so far.

Works perfectly

For Lenovo charging port Type-C PD T440 T450 T460

I have a T440p with i7-4900MQ and Nvidia graphics. I picked the following option:
Power Input: 90W Module
Plastic Case Colour: Black
Variant: B

It works perfectly. Please do be aware that you need a 100W cable and a 100W charger.

Quick and easy way to add type-c charging

For Lenovo charging port Type-C PD X240 X250 X260

Great mod for my x260. Took a couple of minutes to install and only needed a screwdriver. Also bought a magnetic adaptor for type-c plugs so I now have a "magsafe" connector for my laptop. Well worth the money vs how long it would have taken me to DIY and source all the parts.

A necessary modification to stay mobile. Fantastic product!

For Lenovo charging port Type-C PD X220 X230

Today everything is charged via USB-C. Carrying a secondary charging brick for a laptop felt outdated.

The installation of this mod was as straight forward as it can get: Disassemble your X220/X230, replace the original charging port with this mod, screw everything back together and you are done.

It is just flawless and works without any hassle or tinkering.

MikeP does an incredible job with creating these modules and answering any questions.

I can recommend everyone owning a X230 or X220 to install this modification as fast as possible. It is SO worth every dollar.

Some notes:
- The Anker PowerPort Atom III 60W (The one without the secondary USB port) works perfectly with the 65W module.
- Putting a piece of clothing or foam between the module and the bracket will fix any potential wobble.
- My measurement showed that a i5-2540M X220 will draw a maximum of 56 Watts.

Perfect!

For Lenovo charging port Type-C PD X220 X230

Easiest mod to install! Simply disassemble to get to the charging port. Swap out the charging port for the USB-c... And that's it. It works flawlessly. Amazing stuff what this guy can do. Can't wait to buy more!

Emanuel | June 5, 2020

Smooth, fast and easy. Highly recommended!

For Lenovo charging port Type-C PD X240 X250 X260

The laptop is charging fast with no problems, I’ve tested it with three MacBook chargers (28w and 86W) and a Dell charger 65W. As I ordered the 65W chip, my laptop is reading 65W regardless of what charger I am using.
I am very impressed by the customer service and the quality of work. I strongly recommend for anyone who has similar needs. It was smooth, fast and easy. I don’t normally write reviews but this time I would like to support this small business for the great service provided.
Here is the final product: https://preview.redd.it/9uvsz7ini3351.jpg?width=2160&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3c47f9516d96ba70d28aab21b5e19c4507c40151

Dear Emanuel,

Thank you for the review and I am glad the custom module fits your laptop and your expectations :-D . It was nice to change fom the standard modules I make to the Thinkpad 13 :-D .

Niek | June 5, 2020

Great product, very flexible seller

For Lenovo charging port Type-C PD X240 X250 X260

I inquired about my thinkpad model, which was close to but no exact match for the listing. After sending some internal pictures of my laptop, Mike confirmed the exact type of internal plug and custom made me a charging port replacement. Great communication and excellent service!

Response from MikePDiy | June 6, 2020

Dear Niek,

Thank you very much the review and I am glad you enjoy the module.

5 star item from a 5 star seller

For USB A to Microusb, MiniUSB and USB C cable tester

I found the cable tester (and the Tindie platform) while searching Google for a way to sort through hundreds of micro/mini USB cables. I was surprised to have the two testers I ordered arrive to New York in a week, despite being shipped from Taiwan during the pandemic. The testers worked as advertised and the seller even included a handwritten note expressing his gratitude. Highly recommend to anyone looking to test a ton of cables and throw out the ones that are faulty or don't support data.

Great Product to Update a Solid Computer

For Lenovo charging port Type-C PD X220 X230

Purchased one from the seller originally with SLA printed version. Great quality and fit of the print. Found the cable to be a little longer than OEM but was easy to make fit. Just found another X230 sitting around so decided to order my second. Asked if the cable could be shortened and seller quickly replied and was willing to make the change. Fit was perfect. Glad to see more colors in the SLA resin too. Power delivery is perfect for both my i5 and i7 processors variants. Be sure to order the suggested wattage. Great to not have to carry around a single use power brick anymore.

Mr Jan M | May 13, 2020

Excellent!

For Lenovo charging port Type-C PD X240 X250 X260

Very friendly and excellent customer service. So great, now my Thinkpad x250 has USB C charging I only need to bring along one charger and can leave the old laptop lump at home!

X260 Type-C charging port works like a charm

For Lenovo charging port Type-C PD X240 X250 X260

Very happy and satisfied with my purchase. I've been using Thinkpads since X220 days, and a big fan.
I was looking for a solution to reduce the number of chargers I needed to keep. Then I found this site.

At present I own a T440P (modded), T450 (maxed-out), X260 (modded) and T580 (issued by company).
I got the red color and lines aren't really noticeable. Build quality is good and the cable length is just right
with maybe 20cm slack(?). The cable from port to the motherboard connector is a bit thick making it tricky to route
and hide at the side of the CPU fan, and so that it won't cause bulging when the bottom lid is closed. Just a minor
thing. Everyting fits well in the port-compartment and no issues when I screwed the metal-bracket back in place.

Overall 5-stars for this. I just wish the T440P/T450 model will be available soon so I can purchase 2-sets. =)

Response from MikePDiy | April 21, 2020

Dear Nilo,

Thank you very much for the kind words :-) . I am glad it all works as you expected :-) .
Yes there is a slack in the cable of about 2 cm and I am sorry for it but I have preffered to leave a bit of slack just in case :-D. Now I have more flexible wires and also I can tailor them easier to the size.
If you want the T440P and T450 cables, message me and I can get them done for you :-) . I don't have a tT40p to measure the size of the cable precisely but if you give me the size, I will adjust the wires accordingly. For T450 I have an original connector so I can use that one to measure.

Michael | April 19, 2020

Worked perfectly! Very Happy.

For Lenovo charging port Type-C PD X220 X230

Item worked exactly as described. Plug & play, drop in upgrade.
It was however a little on the larger side as it was fairly difficult to fit into the area where the original power port sat. This wasn't really a problem though since it was just barely bigger than the original and could be sanded down if necessary. In the end, I got it to fit by just nudging it into place with some soft hammering. I might readjust it later but for now it works fine.
My laptop is an i7 CPU model so it needs a near 100W charging adapter to take a charge as the seller had mentioned. My 18W phone charger for example won't even trickle charge the laptop when powered off, but that's okay.
Overall, I am very happy with the product and would highly recommend it to others. Seller was very accommodating. Thank you Mike P!

Response from MikePDiy | April 20, 2020

Dear Michael,

I am very glad that the mod delivers up to your expectations. In regards to the casing, yes there have been other reports also and I am now working on sourcing SLA printed cases in black and I will retire FDM printed ones. I am sorry for this inconvenience and thank you again for the support :-) .
About the 18W charger you have tried, it will not work and the reason is : The Lenovo Power Management will only allow the laptop to be charged if it senses 19-20V on the input. A 18W charger will offer only 12V while starting fromo 45W PD chargers will have 20V output. The 20V output is key for this matter so any PD charger with a lower voltage output will not be able to charge the laptop. A mod to change that could be made but then it will no longer be a drop in mod :-D.

Fahed | April 7, 2020

Great Seller and an excellent product

Keeping my X230 relevant in 2020!

For Lenovo charging port Type-C PD X220 X230

Excelent product, easy replacement to the existing charging assembly with a seamless look, never thought I'd get usb C charging in the stock board this easily.

Danny | March 25, 2020

A great product and Great experience

For Lenovo charging port Type-C PD X240 X250 X260

The seller has been incredibly helpful through out the ordering process. His customer service and knowledge is impeccable. I will be keeping an eye out for future products that i may be interested in. Overall money well spent, great quality product, great customer service.

You need one of these!

For USB A to Microusb, MiniUSB and USB C cable tester

Quality product that works great! I have a pile of cables. Now I can sort (and mark) cables to separate charge only from charge/data cables. I can also test cables to determine if they are intermittent or bad and get rid of them. Fast shipping & great communication from the seller. The board is high-quality. Soldering and component placement looks great. The only thing that would make it better is if it had an Apple lightning connector as well.

Barry | Dec. 24, 2019
