Thanks for the reply. I do have the latest bios and all latest drivers/software. I do notice that it happens less frequently with the standard 6 cell battery. but since I take this thing to meetings all day long, I need the 9 cell. I've tried 3 different batteries on it, all will reboot, but the two...

My approximately 2 year old T60 is having some strange issues lately. 1) When running on battery power, the power profile is set to adaptive cpu speed. the system is running at low cpu speed but the fan is on almost constantly. When running on AC power, the system is also set to adaptive cpu speed, ...

Ok so we have about a dozen new T60 and T60p of various configurations. they all came with Vista which we are not supporting. So I'm loading XP SP2 on these machines, all works well except I can't get Access connection to talk to the wireless NIC (Intel 3945) If I use windows or the intel wifi manag...

Don't have google desktop installed.

Task manager seems to indicate SPBBCSvc.exe and rtvscan.exe as the mail culprits, but those are part of symantec AV and I ran the same version on the T42 and didn't have these problems. so it's kind of odd.

Just got a new T60 two days ago to replace my T42. I noticed that on the T60, even when the system is idle not doing anything, the cpu load is always fluxuating between 50% and 100%. This is not a problem when running on AC, but when running on battery it drains the battery very quickly. Anyone else...

Has anyone else tried using the T60 with a mini dock and a KVM? I just got my T60 and mini dock yesterday, plugged it into my DVI KVM with USB port and it won't work with both Keyboard and mouse, it will only work with one or the other. Anyone else experience this? Any way to fix it? My T42 and T43 ...

I have a ATI HDTV wonder in my Dock II, fits fine and works great.

Used Thinkpad dock II type 2877. I believe this works with T4x, R4x and R5x series. I had used it with my T42. It works well except, internal PCI slot does not work, and the sliding part on top does not stay up (can use a piece of tape to hold it up). Bottom sticker says mfg 06/2004, I tried to get ...

Tried both, OS based on IBM restore CD, and an OS from fresh win xp load. neither works.

and under device manager it does show pci to pci bridge is working properly.

I've given up and ordered a replacement dock. we'll see what that does.

thanks

I've tried all those without any success. All other ports on the dock II work fine and the system does indicate it is docked. But it just won't recognize any hardware is installed in the PCI slot. I've tried 4 different PCI cards. scanned for new hardware changes, but it doesn't see anything. any ot...

I have a T42 (2373-9ZU) and a Dock II. I'm trying to put a PCI card in the dock II, however the system does not recognize any PCI card I put in there. Is there something special that needs to be done for it to recognize a PCI card? Does it only work with a special list of PCI cards? I've tried an AT...

thinking about picking up a 24" LCD with native 1920x1200 resolution. Will my T42 with the radeon 9600 be able to output that resolution via DVI on the dock? I know the IBM driver only allows 1280x1024 max, suppose to be a driver somewhere on the net that allows 1600x1200, is there a driver that can...

That's true, while the IBM guy did not do this, we did get to witness this on a X40 after the presentation. People were playing with all the hardware he had brought, and someone accidently knocked a X40 off the table about 2.5 to 3ft high and it landed on one of it's corners. The thing survived the ...

yes, me, my boss, and a room full of about 10 other people saw him do this, not once, but twice!!

IBM sent a product engineer to our facility a few weeks ago to try to sell us on IBM PC and laptops. (we've been an all Hell shop...I mean dell). The part that won my CIO over is when the product engineer took a T42 powered on, dropped it on the floor from about 6 feet up, then stood on the cover an...

Just got 5 T42's and noticed the 6 cell is designed for 47+ WH but only holds around 44 WH on a full charge. Everytime I discharge the battery (not down to 0%, typically down to 50% or so) and recharge it, the full charge capacity goes down a little. This seems to be a really poorly designed battery...

Anyone else experience this? I have 5 new T42 (2373-9ZU), 5 new mini-dock and 1 dock II. if I plug them into a KVM using PS2 keyboard/mouse ports then the thinkpads will not boot. it will either sit at the IBM bios logo screen or give a blank black screen forever. If I plug them into a KVM using USB...

Anyone know how to have the machine switch resolutions automatically when it is docked or undocked? I would like it to run the native 1400x1050 while on the internal panel (undocked) and switch to 1280x1024 when docked and hooked up to an external LCD. Is there any way to do this rather then go into...
