If this was the case, how could I tell by popping off the LCD bezel? Thanks

Hi All, Recently my T60p LCD (the IPS+ UXGA model) has been having problems. It is now to the point that only the top quarter of the display works, and the rest is pretty much dead. If I open the screen all the way up and quickly close it I can basically get the bottom 3/4s to refresh whatever it sh...

I thought it´s an actual hardware RAID... I have never tried this, but theoretically I can set up software RAID even on a T60 using the ultrabay... (though the difference will be certainly noticeable due to the absence of a dedicated controller). Thats what I was saying (to get around the ultrabay ...

I had tried RAID0 with one of the internal bays combined with an identical drive in the Ultrabay, and the integrated Intel RAID controller on the W700 wouldn't let me, saying something to the effect that one of the bays is external. So I would guess that RAID5 also wouldn't not be allowed. But that...

This thread makes me so sad. Ive been looking into getting the W500 with the WUXGA, and from reports here the its even worse than the W700's? (In terms of brightness). Thankfully my T60p's LCD just got replaced after a deflective backlight, so it should be good for a few more years. Not having a goo...

My T60p backlight has been very wierd recently. When I close the lid of the machine and open it again, the backlight does not come on the vast majority of the time (this does not appear at all to be a software thing, hibernating/restarting doesnt change anything). It started happening occasionally, ...

Awwww, I love the super high-res screens. I love my t60p's UXGA and would only get a new T if it was WUXGA. But as people have said above, Im young and have exceptional vision, so more text in same screen space => more productive => good

I had a few rare occurrences with shutting down due to overheating before, and tpfan control (which I don't really trust) was telling me 77C or higher! for my gpu. Finally cleaned it w/ compressed air today (not just the exhaust, also took off keyboard to get to the fan) and now it reports 64C for g...

i'm looking at doing this upgrade from SXGA+ to UXGA.. there are actually two panels available (for my 2613-CTO) on this page: http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-62806&selectarea=SUPPORT&tempselected=5 1 - FRN 13N7194 LCD panel, 15in UXGA FFS (sRGB), BOE-Hydis 2 - F...

I had error #2 (no bluescreens, only the lockups) with 1x1gb of lenovo installed ram (which passes memtest). I switched from the lenovo video drivers to ati's firegl drivers ver 8.342 and so far have no had any issues. I will update if anything else occurs

I have it installed but it doesn't seem to work. this should probably be in the linux forum, but yes I have gotten drivers working. Which ones are you using? I would assume you were using fglrx . http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Installation_Guide has guides for installing fglrx on recent ve...

just running a couple of applications for 5 hours, im getting 82C cpu and 86C gpu, fan speed 3400rpm. Is this send-in worthy? I can't really afford to not have my t60p until around may, though

Just posting my own experience, I use Symantec AV Corp. Edition. I also noticed the "hogging". I started looking for the reason. Symantec AV Corp. Edition (not sure about the other versions) stores its log files in the following folder: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Symantec\...

my 1st lost about 4wh of capacity after about 5 cycles, I got it replaced. My 2nd one has been fine (so far) with about 10 cycles on it

it is definitely possible. I have the chip disabled (as well as the software) but I still use the fingerprint reader for login

GRRRRRRRRRR........
my single stick of ram passed memtest 15 times without a single error. I did a proper (at boot) chkdsk without any errors, bios and graphi drivers are the newest, and im still getting crashes.

almost all computers will do this as a result of paging, that is using parts of your hard drive as slow access ram. You can disable pagefileing in settings, but make sure you have enough ram

http://filext.com/detaillist.php?extdetail=TVT looks like a real player file extension? hes talking about all the running processes: those are thinkvantage apps. Theres are also a lot (I count 7) apps begginning with tp, these are also thinkpad system stuff. Yes, you can have the chip disabled and ...

I have the ultrabay with my 15" t60p and I normally also get 6.5hrs (no wireless, everything min) on just the 9cell, and I get 8hrs on the ultrabay which is consistent with its 33% capacity of the 9 cell. It might not be a bad idea to spring for the 6 cell given the issues with the ultrabay batterie...

I have the 93U, and its still uxga. I dont know the difference besides wwan, but others may be able to elaborate

Is there anyone who has concretly figured out the reason for these crashes. In my case when i play games the computer freezes and the sound is like stuck in a loop and i have to hold the power button to turn it off. I have pin-pointed that it is not a heat issue as it happenes sometimes when i have...

Ive had my t60p for about 2 months now, and today I noticed a small dark splotch near the bottom. I am relatively confident that these aren't just dead pixels-when the screen in black, this area is noticeably darker, which would seem to indicate that dust has gotten inside the lcd in front of the ba...

Yes. I think those 2 are the same setting, but im not sure

Consider this: There is considerably less room for speakers in the 14" case than in th, hence the speakers are probably quite a bit smaller. To avoid distorting the sound, the maximum volume is limited to what the speakers can handle. In any case, ThinkPads have never been known for high quality, h...

I have a 15" t60p (2007-93U) and my friend's 14" (2007-83U) has noticeablly quieter speakers. Has anyone else noticed this peculiarity?

Thinkpad's are the best, but they are too expensive for most students. I was only able to get my nice t60p (2007-93U) because I got a huge educational discount. I mainly see dells, thinkpads, and macs, because thats what my univ. gives discounts on

well my mouse also has forward and backward buttons, so never if im at home. When im carrying it around, sometimes, but more often than not I forget about their existence

tweakui is the best way. It has lots of other cool features too

Mod, please merge into ultrabay battery thread. New thread was accidental

I just got it today....One test fully discharge it now it will only hold 25wh max. Looks like ill be sending in mine too
