Re: Replacement for T60. 7-Row Kbd Please

Look for ThinkPad T4 20 , T4 20 s, T5 20 , X2 20 etc etc... You get the idea. :mrgreen: Not ThinkPad Edge, though. The Edge **20 series does have the 6-row island-style keyboard.

Re: Replacement for T60. 7-Row Kbd Please

Any T/X/R/W series up to excluding the recent Ivy Bridge models (**30 series) will have a 7-row keyboard. Many of the Sandy Bridge models (**20 series) can still be bought. For 4:3 screen however you are stuck with T/R/X61 models which are barely newer than your T60. Thanks, that sounds promising. ...

Re: Replacement for T60. 7-Row Kbd Please

If your space bar problem is intermittent, check for dirt or debris under the bar. I had a T23 with a space bar that occasionally didn't work while typing. Upon closer inspection I found a piece of red plastic from the track point cover floating around under it. Hi Dale, Thanks for the tip. I shoul...

Replacement for T60. 7-Row Kbd Please

The spacebar on my T60's keyboard has started missing, and even though I know the keyboard's a cheap & easy replacement, this may be what pushes me onto a new machine. I see Lenovo has quit making the 7-row keyboard which was one of the Thinkpad's most attractive features for me. The other thing tha...

Re: Strange Intermittent Clicks Below Letter "K"

I'd say that is a fan out of 'whack', clicking louder when spinning faster Try another fan. But the new sound comes from the other side of the computer. I got all-too-well-acquainted with fan noise before I replaced my defective one, so I'm pretty confident this isn't a fan. I popped the DVD drive ...

Strange Intermittent Clicks Below Letter "K"

My T60 2613-CTO has developed a strange new noise since I replaced its cooling fan a few weeks ago. It's making intermittent clicks. The clicks come in clusters, lasting maybe ten or twenty seconds, with periods of at least a few minutes between clusters. During one of these clusters, the clicks ave...

Re: Unbearably Noisy Fan

The fan is easily replaceable but it is not a "CRU" (customer replaceable unit) - hence the need to send it in. As it's under warranty, bite the bullet and send it in for replacement. I did just that and I wish I'd done it sooner. Having been told by EZ Serv phone reps that the turnaround would be ...

Re: Replacement Fan, T60 Type 2613

Hi Keith, Well, perhaps not integrated in the sense of soldered and epoxied on, but that fan has a more intimate relationship with its motherboard than I'm comfortable tampering with on a machine that's still under warranty. I'm supposed to get an Easyserv box on Monday. The rep said four to five bu...

That machine is under warranty. Call IBM at 1-800-426-7378. If you think you can do it yourself, they will send you a fan free. If you cannot, you can send or take it in. (very fast turnaround).

This wasn't a question of keeping or wiping data. There's still plenty of data on the old drive, it was just the "boot flags" that were removed, so the drive cannot be BOOTED. Stick it in a USB slot and everything else is still there--but that's not the point. A drive that has been cloned should st...

Officially it's the context-menu key. Clicking the right mouse button is another way to open the context menu, as is Shift+F10 (in well-behaved Windows apps).
