Re-badging a ThinkPad A31p (lemmy.sdf.org)

I've been slowly restoring this IBM ThinkPad A31p to its former glory. I've also been doing a few upgrades along the way: (P4 2.4Ghz, mSATA to IDE adapter, Wireless-N card, etc.)

One of the few, final cosmetic touch ups left was to replace the worn out Pentium badge. I managed to source a reproduction badge that looks accurate, so I thought I'd share the before and after.

I think it turned out pretty well!

@wesker

what screen res is the a31p?

[–] wesker@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 1 year ago

Surprisingly, it's an IPS screen with a 1600x1200 res.
