So, if the motherboard has 2 RAM slots, you can install 2x8GB memory modules for a total of 16GB. The X240 only has one memory slot and as such is limited to a total of 8GB memory. I installed my 16GB module from my T450s in my (ex-)work X240, and it refused to boot. The IBM Lenovo ThinkPad X240 Laptop takes the PC3-12800 DDR3L SDRAM SODIMM 204 pin memory. Memory type, and comes installed with 4GB memory. How much memory does the IBM Lenovo ThinkPad X240 Laptop take? New RAM for Lenovo X240. Does this Thinkpad really have only one RAM slot? Or is there another one on the back of the board (i.e. Under the keyboard)?

RAM upgradability

This model has a single SODIMM socket, which supports up to 8GB of RAM (PC3-12800 DDR3L SDRAM 1600MHz SODIMM).

The CPU does not support more than 8GB of RAM per SODIMM module. In particular, Linux and Windows fails to boot, and MemTest86+ crashes, when using a 16GB SO-DIMM module, model IMM2G64D3LSOD8AG-B15E from Intelligent Memory (which does work in a ThinkPad X250).

Disassembly

Any internal component replacement or upgrade (including hard disk and expansion cards) requires opening the back cover. Keyboard replacement requires full assembly and disassembly of the system board, and fresh thermal paste for the CPU heatsink.

Lenovo Thinkpad X240 Specification

Opening the case involves two stages:

Opening a handful of screws (these have tiny retainer rings made of transparent plastic; be careful not to drop them when removing the back cover).
Carefully prying apart dozens of little fragile plastic latches. This requires a plastic case opening tool to avoid damage (a metal screwdriver will nick and scratch the plastic).

Key mapping

This model has a 6-row keyboard, where the F1 through F12 share the same top-row physical keys with special functions keys (volume, brightness, etc.). By default, the top-row keys invoke the special functions, and require Fn keypress to invoke the usual F1 through F12 functions. To switch the role and have the top-row keys default to F1 through F12, enable Fn-Lock mode (by pressing Fn+Esc).

Moreover, End and Insert share the same physical key. When Fn-Lock is activated, the key default to Insert, and End is invoked as Fn+Insert, which many users find inconvenient. To switch the End and Insert functions, in modern Linux distribution, add the following in a new file /usr/lib/udev/hwdb.d/61-ThinkPad-X240-keyboard.hwdb:

Then run:# udevadm hwdb --update

(The keyboard:... line matches /sys/devices/virtual/dmi/id/modalias, and the hex scancodes are found using # evtest /dev/input/by-path/platform-i8042-serio-0-event-kbd . )
