My W500 experience has been one of my best with a Thinkpad ever! It is a fast and cool running laptop on Windows 7 and the expansive screen real estate is a very useful. I paid under $200 for a fairly new condition W500 T9600 (battery cycle was in the 40s) with port replicator 8GB rams/320GB hd. It ...

Did you find the LG screen to be much brighter than the original Samsung one?

I don't know...T410/420 and T/W510/520 don't seem to suffer from these problems. That is what I wondered too. Although the shorter, wider lids of the 510/520 models have less vertical leverage and pressure on the hinges. I think it is the sheer weight of the T500/W500 lids that leads to hinge/cage ...

Watch bluray movies.

Yeah it looks like 232A will have to do. Anyone used this drive? is it okay? or rather is it worth $100+?

I've had mine 2 weeks and even with the broken hinge/cage and a very dim Samsung WUXGA screen it is one of the best laptops I've owned. It is fast and very cool. One of the coldest laptops I've ever ran in my life. Best of all it is easy to modify the hardware and add on and take off stuff that you ...

Trying to decide what to buy here. It seems the cheaper of the two drives,the UJ-260, is faster and better but may not work on the W500 since it is an enhanced. What should I buy?

I think that LG display is a WXGA and not a WUXGA. I've been googling and searching and can only find the LG panels in WXGA and the Samsungs in the WUXGA. I did find a couple of Sharp WUXGA displays but it definitely does not look plug and play at all. http://www.panelook.com/LP154WU1-TLA2_LG%20Dis...

There are two different WUXGA displays used in the W500. A LG and a Samsung. The LG reaches 220 nits when new (measured with X-Rite) and the Samsung 170 nits when new. (according to spec sheet) The SHARP display beats both of them with 250 nits when new. (measured with X-Rite) I have seen all three...

I just picked up the most powerful of the W500 family last week, a 4062-4HU , after reading this thread. I will say I am very impressed with the smooth and cool performance of the W500. My unit has 8GB of RAM and the 512MB video specs so everything runs smoothly as expected. The W500 is also one of ...

Thanks this will be very helpful for me. I just looked online for prices and holy crap its nuts that places are selling these for $100+ I'm going to post all of this in the marketplace later on too but for those following this thread here you go: Here's what I'm thinking my prices will be, I'm not t...

Awnsers to questions I've been getting It is a sxga+ model. The build date is July 2006. The 9 Cell Battery was new on Mar 2008 The Bios is dated fresh as of April 2010. CTO means Customed To Ordered which is to say that this unit was a base 2008 model that was customized at the order by the buyer. ...

SOLVED it was a windows security update that caused it. I uninstalled all 63 security updates and now it works. sleep mode and hibernation works great. Hope I dont need the security updates? any idea if I will be fine without them? yeah you will be fine. I will try that as well. I've been using Thi...

Stuff for the Intel Wireless card. There is an option's menu somewhere on the SET UP that allows certain applications and processes to awake the laptop from sleep or turn it on from hibernate. My wifi card and Intel processes was set to allow the computer to awake from sleep or not enter sleep, stan...

I just did this job and it was super easy: Tips for anyone attempting this: 1. Before you even begin removing fru's you should buy a bag of Thinkpad replacement screws as a sound insurance policy against losing screws during the work. I found one off eBay for $2.99 that had all the T60/T61 screws an...

awesome photo and disassembling job.... i would never attempt something like this on a working laptop of mine, since i would probably end up not able to put everything back together again.... It is actually not hard at all. Only tricky part was forgetting the one flat screw on the bottom by the bat...

I have 8 gigs on my WinXP SP3 and I don't at all think my RAM is wasted. Running Intel 320 SSD and FancyCache (free stufff so far - a trial of 180 days that can be prolonged). The program allows to use the so-called "unmanageable RAM" as a disk cache. Allocated 5 gigs of "invisible memory" as disk ...

Good seller! Has been answering all my questions.
Thanks Tuus!

I've been plagued with this issue since February on my T60 XP SP3 . I updated everything on April 1st including the BIOS and I'm still having the issues with that. The T60 not only won't sleep/standby or hibernate, it won't turn off. When I select Turn Off it turns off then boots right back up. So I...

There are two things I want to replace on my recently acquired T61. 1. The bottom shell: The hard drive's bay cover is loose because the ledge where the cover screw holds onto has cracked completely off. That bit seems to be contiguous with the entire plastic bottom shell so I assumed I have to repl...

OMG! I just was thinking the same thing. I just ordered a T61 8889-02U and noticed the screen brightness, clarity and colors were above and beyond better than my T60 2008-VEP. I just assumed that the T61 had better LCD/LED tech for the screen than the older T60 series. Can anyone confirm that the T6...
