isn't that a 2.5" drive? which thinkpad model is this for?

yes, it works. I interchange adapters between T60p, T61p and X301 depending on where I am at. (of course, not the other way - never had to try the 65W X301 adapter with T60p or T61p)

no, it is really not a necessity - especially with SSDs to know when your system has entered standby (so it can be moved/handled).. but in general, I find it a "nice to have" feature just as a confirmation that the system did enter standby. There has been times when I put the lid down on my old T60p...

It appears, the only option through the volume keys, is to mute the beep. Raising or lowering the volume has no effect on the beep.
I guess I will continue to startle people around me with loud beeps

Thanks, that is interesting to know. Although, I think I am confusing the terms - the X301 HMM refers to part number 42T0975 as "Wireless USB PCI Express Half-Mini Card" while a few (independent) online part stores call it Ultra wideband card. Perhaps I should treat the HMM as an authoritative source.

Sorry if this has been answered before but I could not find anything.
The X301 emits a terribly loud beep when entering standby or waking up. The only controls I noticed is in BIOS allowing enable or disable. Apart from completely disabling the beep, is there any way to lower the volume?

Thanks

I am looking at X301 (2777CTO) configuration page on Lenovo's website but I don't see any options to include UWB connectivity. Does anyone know if it is standard and inclusive in all X301? Since the UWB half mini-PCI is available as a service part, I thought it would at least be an available option ...

perhaps my method may not be the cleanest one - but a caddy purchased on ebay was "missing" :? the tab and I used a #0 Philips head screwdriver to lock into the HDD screw (which is torx) and then just pulled out the drive. You only need apply pressure until the HDD unlatches from the SATA connector ...

I was wondering if anyone that was using Access Connections was using any other program to see what wireless networks were around? When I have used Access Connections, it seems that since I use a certain SSID, it doesn't look any further than that. Am I missing something? Just curious to see what o...

I skulk these forums a lot, reading and learning from fellow thinkpaders - here is one that might give you some kicks: Ordered a T61p on 3-20, shipping message on 3-23 and shipped on 3-24, now here are the laughs: LOUISVILLE,KY, US 03/26/2008 3:35 A.M.

The T60/T61 caddy has hard rubber edge covers to improve shock absorbtion. The T42 caddy will fit the T60/61 although a bit loose. Or you may have to swap the edge covers as well to the T42 caddy.

But, I did order a 3-year warranty upgrade and the website shows only a 1-year warranty. I guess a phone call is in order. From past experiences, it takes Lenovo 2-4 weeks to update the warranty database. If you purchased additional warranty, it will show up on their website later. Just keep your o...

I have seen this before on my T60p and the solution was to clear (reset) TPM chip in BIOS. In my case, I had reverted to factory settings and TPM still contained previous certificates and led to CSS being unable to communicate with TPM. I am not sure behind the logic of this resolution for those who...

of course, if we wait it out a while, the 4th of July sale will be coming up.

In my experience VS2005 doesn't run that great on Vista. Just something to keep in mind. My experience with VS2005 on Vista has been similar. I am running VS2005 SP1 with Hotfix for Vista on Vista Ultimate and T60p/2.16GHz/2GB/ATI FireGL5200. The Window transitions seem a bit choppy in VS while sim...

Do you know the camera specs by any chance?

Agreed :) But technically speaking, 4:3 screen is not a square either. For a given unit square, it is 4 units wide and only 3 units high. For sake of argument, one might consider a 4:3 as widescreen if a conventional widerscreen (16:10) did not exist. Perhaps we could also use the term widerscreen f...

On the other hand, for those who have already placed an order, if those do get delayed by another 2-3 weeks, we might get to see the T61p unveil and be in a position to keep our open orders or cancel and order a T61p.

Just got off the phone with Lenovo and this is an error, supposedly being worked on right now. Ship dates should be 2-3 weeks according to the rep. Ditto. I called Lenovo and the sales rep confirmed that some T61 orders are showing ETA of Aug but that is incorrect and most orders will be fulfilled ...

There appears to be a problem with shipping on the T61. This morning, I noticed, if you attempt to place an order on Lenovo's website, availability is "call**" as opposed to "1-2 weeks"

I sincerely hope Lenovo conducted thorough testing of the T61 line before opening up for accepting orders.

For those whose shipping dates have been pushed back, please post here if you find anything from Lenovo.

Sounds perfect I'll give this is a try when (if) my order ships. Right now, there appears to be some confusion if these pushed back shipping estimates are a bug in Lenovo's system or if it was their ploy to rope in a sizeable number of orders and then inflate their shipping time.

I created another quote today which will lower the price of my computer $160 from its original price, but I'm going to wait til my order ships to actually adjust it. That is interesting. How do you go about adjusting price with a quote? Should I simply call Lenovo and reference the confirmed order ...

thanks for responding. If I were to swap the wsxga+ panel with wuxga, is the new panel automatically detected - in order to change the screen resolution in display properties? Currently, the max resolution offered in display properties is 1680x1040. I wondered if the screen resolution value is hard ...

Hello all, I recently ordered a T60p widescreen (ATI FireGL 5250 256MB WSXGA+) which shipped yesterday. I am toying with the idea of replacing (in future) the LCD with a WUXGA model 13N7198 (perhaps might also need the inverter board). My question to fellow Thinkpad afficionados: will this be as sim...
