I just purchased the 7260 and tried to install it in my X220T that did not come with native Bluetooth, but met with several challenges. Placing it in the half-height slot, I could get Wi-Fi working but not Bluetooth (not even detected by the system). Placing it in the full-height slot, Bluetooth wor...

I'm not typically a fan of laptop skins either, but I do have to admit that the faux leather one the OP chose does look rather nice. Thanks! Unfortunately, my relatively short journey with the X61s has come to an end. My father required a laptop for work so I passed the X61s to him. On the bright s...

Did you also install the Middleton BIOS so the Broadcom BCM970015 HD Crystal Hardware Decoder for 1080i Apple TV would work? I ask because my X61s as a password protected BIOS which I cannot access, but I would dearly love to install this video card! I installed the Middleton BIOS prior to the Broa...

Getting a working Thinkpad for free is certainly a nice gift. :D Though I'm not a fan of laptop skins, I have to admit that the faux-leather skin looks good on it. I think it's because it retains the business-like demeanor of the Thinkpad. Very nice work. :) Thanks for the compliment. Was kinda wor...

However, I recently picked up AS...

Thanks RRHODY, but the original battery did not come with a spacer and did not leave a gap too.

Thanks! I knew there had to be an accessory, just didn't know what to search for. Managed to order one from Ebay

Just inherited a X61s and purchased an extended battery because the original 4-cell no longer holds a charge. Even though the extended battery works as expected, it leaves a gap at the battery compartment of the X61s and the laptop is now unstable because the extended battery only comes with 1 rubbe...

Hi, My 3 year old X31 is finally showing signs of aging. It's currently showing symptoms such as freezing whenever I move it by the slightest bit. I am rather sure that it's a system board problem and not the hard disk since the problem persisted when I replaced the hard disk with another one. Since...

No Aero, the Radeon Mobility 16mb doesn't support it. But I've never been a fan of fancy UI to begin with. Even on XP, I used the Windows Classic desktop theme. I'm not sure if Windows Media Center would work since I'm using Vista Business edition. However, 1.5gb RAM on my X31 does make Vista feel r...

Thanks boon for pointing out access connections 4.31. Are you using X31 as well? If you are, are you able to get System Update running? Or do you have On Screen Display for volume, brightness, etc? Edit: Installing Access Connections and a couple of other system updates that came with it enabled the...

Hi, I took the plunge and installed Windows Vista Business edition on my X31. Vista seems to have detected all my hardware and everything was usable on first boot. However, I'm missing certain Thinkpad only software and features such as Access Connections, On-screen Display for HotKeys, etc. I tried...

kyocera: dun bother with that file... that's from almost half a year ago (10.4.1). Installation of an up-to-date OSX is much easier nowadays...
You'll be much better off searching "Mac OS X 10.4.4/5 osx86 Patched Bootable DVD" on a particular website where pirates hang out...

dj: Thanks. I did some searching in this forum and that led me to the same conclusion. Hopefully a driver that supports QE/CI with the ATI Mobility Radeon surfaces soon.

ericssonboi: No. My version of the X31 comes with an Atheros chipset, not the Intel one.

In case anyone else is interested, OSX 10.4.4 works well on my 2yo X31 - Pentium M 1.5ghz, 768mb RAM, SoundMAX integrated audio, Atheros Wireless, Intel 100/10 VE, ATI Mobility Radeon M6. It did take some effort, especially with the drivers for sound, ethernet and wireless but it all works perfectly...

smakdown61: Is your wireless card the one from Atheros? If yes, download the 10.4.5 update for Intel, extract IO80211Family.kext and replace the one in your 10.4.3 Extensions folder. That should work. At least it does on my X31, both 10.4.4 and 10.4.3.
