Ah yeah, the unlock to do this is called "1vyrain", right? https://github.com/n4ru/1vyrain/ Friend was telling me about it as he accidentally ordered a non-Lenovo battery and was considering sending it back but also considering trying this "unlock".

That looks very nice, before you had to flash the bios yourself, I never heard of it. I just got lazy and never flashed the bios, I'll set time to use this. Makes the battery replacement much less painful, thank you!

No problem! Yeah it looks a bit scary to me so I'll only try it if I can really dedicate some time and focus on it, and only if I really want to install the mod. I think this same mod is needed if you want to use X220 keyboard on the X230.
