    Guys, how long does your 65wh battery last on a single charge? Mine only lasts about 2 hours screen on with wifi. I'm wondering why the sec sheet claims 6 to 7 hours of battery life iirc.
  2. Onoakino
    Hmm. Correct. There are two sets of antenna inside 2570p. One set each for WiFi and WWAN. Strictly speaking though, there are only two antenna connectors alotted for the WiFi card. But since you mentioned it, I am now wondering if lordjim can use one of wwan's anttena as the third wifi antenna?
  3. Onoakino
    Only two wi-fi antenna. When I disassembled the 2570p to take out the motherboard for some soldering - I did the diamantling but paid a technician to solder the wifi slot's BT pins to the dock's usb pins - I only saw two wifi antenna wires.

    Replying here just to say wow. You guys are amazing modders! The screen mod and bios mod are way beyond my capacity to do, but I love seeing you guys succeed in pushing the limits of our 2570p. One question: I did a mod to enable the Bluetooth part of my wifi-bt combo card (soldering wifi slots' unpowered pins to the dock's usb pins. Does that mean no more WWAN modding for me because I already used the dock's usb pins? Again, great job, guys!

    @MioIVA flashable bios with no whitelist? Amazing work! I wish there's an idiot guide or a YouTube video on how to flash this to our 2570p. I'm afraid to brick my laptop if I miss any step or did a step wrong.

    Anyone thought of replacing the speakers on this thing with better sounding ones?
  7. Onoakino
    Seems to be going in the direction of all soldered non-user upgradable laptops.

    Thanks @adrian_sa I wonder if anyone here has tried fitting it with backlit keyboard but just hasn't posted it here yet?
  9. Onoakino
    @adrian_sa Im curious, why did you say the panel is too tall? Did you grind something off of the shell to make the panel fit? I'm also curious about the structural integrity of the new screen. Can you say the laptop's durability is still the same after the all modifications you did to make the panel fit? Or does it now make you a little bit careful in handling the laptop as compared to before? How will you rate the durability of the laptop, post panel replacement? 1-10, ten being as sturdy as stock, untouched laptop?

    Huhu. I want 1080p screen on my 2750p too!
  11. Onoakino
    So good! When you're done, please share how you did it.

    Nice job @invait53! Mine is an AC with Bluetooth too. Haven't tested the speed yet bec my wifi router not an AC. My BT mouse (elecom) works on both my OSes. However, pairing my generic bt speaker with my hackintosh Sierra is unsuccessful. This escapes me. Why does my elecom bt mouse pair with my hack, but refuses to pair (continuous connect/disconnect) with a generic bt speaker? OffTopic: I love this laptop to bits now. Eversince the SSD upgrade, boot time has significantly improved. It uswd to take me 45 secs up to a minute to boot when I was still using HDD, now it takes me to win10 login in 8 secs, hackintosh sierra in under 10. Yay! Plus, I'm no longer scared of accidental bumps that may damage the hard drive, because hey, no moving parts any more!

    I'll stay with version 14xx. It's not broke so I ain't fixing it. I'm afraid we are the only ones left using this amazing piece of hardware from the dark ages. Methinks everbody has moved to thin and ultralight form-factor laptops already.

    Just putting this ThrottleStop result here for comparison purposes. i7 3612QM 16GB Samsung RAM in dual-channel mode 500GB Samsung 860 EVO SSD Windows 10
  15. Onoakino
    Doesn't happen to me on Windows 10 (ver 16xx), nor on my main OS MacOS Sierra (hackintosh). It's most likely your Windows powersaving settings.

    @mikmaze @juandante May I ask what's the purpose of setting the multiplier by 38T? I have i7 3612QM. What multiplier should I set it to before starting TS Bench? Thank you.

    I went for the Broadcom BCM04352 Wireless-AC WiFi and Bluetooth combo. Works on my 2570p dual boot Windows 10 / Hackintosh MacOS Sierra. WiFi and Bluetooth works on both OSes, but I needed to do the bluetooth enabling hack to make bluetooth work. While it has been 6 years, I believe wireless AC is still the fastest wifi standard, so going for BCM4352 is still the best decision to make.

    By HD, you mean 1080p? I don't think there's one for 2570p. From what I understood from a couple of posts back, the latest mod for the screen is still for 720p resolution, only that the screen is made with different technology resulting in better viewing angles.
  19. Onoakino
    Dumb question, is there a possibility to use m.2 ssd now given the development on disabling the firmware whitelist?
  20. Onoakino
    @adrian_sa please continue your great work. I hope you would be successful in enabling the m.2 slot of wwan. Also, can you please link the website where you found the info about whitelist modding? Thanks

    @Phobosse and @invait53, im following your quest to replace your LCD. Whenever you can, please update this thread on your progress. Thanks!

    After a year of using, my eyes are starting to get strained from looking at the monitor. T.T

    I'm still on Sierra 10.12.6. I want Mojave but I have to read more and hear more people who have 2570p reporting they have working Mojave on their machines. I'm trying to solve the reboot issue (laptop would restars instead of shutdown) on Sierra after bridged the wlan usb to usb dock. Good to know hackintoshers are alive in this thread.
  24. Onoakino
    True. The cable works with 2.5" sata hdd.
  25. Onoakino
    Also, I'm a little stumped at the moment. I bought an esata power to sata connector for the purpose of booting off from my 3.5 sata hdd. However, interrupted boot, BIOS cannot find the HDD, nor does Windows 10 or Mac OS Sierra (I'm on dual boot win10 and macOS). Is our elitebook providing power on its esata? There is a guide here about booting off of esata and he seemed to be able to boot (or at least made the bios detect his hdd) just by using that special cable. Mine just doesn't work. Any ideas why?
