Hi Trying to get to the TP driver matrix from the UK - but the side has been "off" for at least 12 hours since trying. Have done a /flushdns. Its not totally off (though cant ping it not sure if it ever was), it looks like its trying to load a page so http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/support.l...

Thanks - but it has an XP Pro COA and I would like to restore it to that factory default. I could install it manually but if there is an easier way I would like to try that first!

Managed to resurrect an old T30 someone has given me (still has 1 duff mem slot but not sure what to point my soldering iron at there yet!), just need a recovery CD...

I was told by my Lenovo supplier that you can add the fingerprint palm rest but it needs an extra chip on the motherboard...

I imagine all IBM/Lenovo are trying to do is make sure that hardware used is performing to required specs for the "airbag" so...

Of those that have upgraded to the Seagate 100GB 7200 drive - did you keep your existing pre-desktop and other hidden bits? Just wonder if thats anything to do with the error being there for some and not for others. I dont have the pre-desktop area, just did a new install on the new drive - and I ge...

Hi

Similar problem here on a similar spec drive - the UJ-822S. AFAIK there is no update yet for mine. Did you get yours resolved?

Hi I just bought and installed an OEM ST910021A into my T43p 2668 F8G. I get the BIOS warning. I downloaded the IBM HD firmware update that lists the Seagate: Version: FWHD43 Release Date: 2006/06/19 It showed 3.04 installed and 3.07 available but didnt want to update. I ran the update manually (sca...
