Just downloaded the manual. Hope that does it!

Thanks, Harryc, for the helpful advice.

I know you didn't want to insult my intelligence, but would you mind directing me to a place where I can find out how to reseat the internal keyboard connector? I tried googling it but didn't come up with instructions.

Thanks!

Hi, all, My husband has been using our T41 as a backup computer and something has happened to the keyboard -- about 8 keys down the middle of the keyboard are stuck. I can't even log in to windows because my password uses those keys. I'd like to solve this problem as inexpensively as possible but am...

Thanks for the suggestions. I just got the Transcend enclosure, which of course comes with no useful instructions for installing your own HD (The Quick Start guide tells you to look on the software CD, but no CD comes with the enclosure-only pkg; and the online manual says nothing.) Every buyerwho r...

Looks perfect. Thanks for your speedy reply.

My thinkpad x60 stopped working the other day -- first a green line down the screen that disappeared temporarily when I flexed the screen, then a few hours later no sign of life although the computer was still plugged in. I haven't tried to repair it yet. I have bought a new computer (a Macbook, run...

Thanks, Harry. Very useful thread, albeit sometimes over my head. We're thinking of Verizon or Alltel for coverage purposes. If we're going to buy a card on ebay do we need to make sure the software that comes with it is designed for use with a particular provider? (ie I see Sierra 595U cards for Sp...

Hi, all, My husband is in the process of buying an RV for a trip through the US southeast -- in fairly unpopulated areas. I'd appreciate any advice you can give me about the best setup for internet access in the RV for times when we're not in a park that provides wireless. My x60 nontablet computer ...

Points taken.

However, I remain grateful that you saved me much time and labor.

Thank you,

m.

. . . or ruling the C's. Your choice.

<<I've certainly been faced with "weird" wireless situations in which going into Device Manager, deleting the wireless network card, and letting Windows reinstall it has remedied the problem. Can anyone suggest why this might not be worth the five minutes it takes? >> IT WORKED!!!!!!! Art, you RULE!...

OLD is right!!!! LOL.

Thanks, Bill, if you find it I'll take you up on it. In the meantime i'm going to try Art's suggestion, which seems too easy to be true.

I'll let you guys ("y'all" in my part of the world) know if it works.

Optimistically,

Mary

Adrian, One more question: you said that since I can see the card intermittently it's not a bios problem. are you referring to something in the description below, which I gave you earlier? If so, I'm not sure where it "sees" the card. Or was it something else? "When I choose the View Status option, ...

<<You could also run PC-Doctor to see if it picks up a hardware error associated with your WiFi card.>> Done. It passed the PCI Express Status Test, but couldn't pass anything else b/c there was no connection. I saved the file with its MAC address, IP address, and driver info. Nothing else showed up...

Harry, I've removed Access Connections and rebooted. I've gone to Advanced settings for my wireless 2 and selected "use windows to configure my wireless network setttings." But no wireless networds are found in range. I've got my T20 sitting next to the x60 and it finds the wireless just fine -- tha...

Adrian,

I've never done anything more than take out hard drives from my thinkpads (starting back with 720, 760, and T20) but I'm game.

Sorry to hear yours caught the bug.

So what do I do first?

Mary

Harry and Adriana, Let me give you my latest information and then respond to your messages with a question: Yesterday Adriana asked me whether my wireless card had a red mark over it. (Today i noticed that in my system tray there's an icon for the Thinkvantage AC 11 a/b/g wireless lan mini pci expre...

I've got a 11 a/b/g wireless LAN mini PC that doesn't have those colors, but when I click on it (from the system tray_ it says that Windows cannot complete disabling the network wireless adapter. I have no idea what that means. There's also a sierra wireless 1xEV-DO network adapter but i don't think...

thanks for the idea, but i've turned the radio on and off about fourteen times to make sure it's on. It is.

There must be some sort of diagnostic test I can run?

Mary

Thinkvantage sees the network but when I click on "connect" it stops when "waiting for association" and then I get an error report with this information in it: szAppName : AcSvc.exe szAppVer : 4.0.0.0 szModName : ntdll.dll szModVer : 5.1.2600.2180 offset : 0003426d It offers to send these files to M...

For some reason I can no longer get a wireless connection on my X60. I can still connect by LAN, but when I try to connect through the wireless connection it doesn't work (I'm using LAN to send this so can't tell you exactly what words it uses, but it tells me that it can't connect after taking a LO...

Great! Thanks.

M.

Thanks so much. That makes it easy.

Mary

I'm sorry to have to ask such a basic question, but I want to download video from my Canon camcorder to my X60. The Canon instruction book said to use a DV cable, and I understand that to be the same as a firewire/1394 cable. Elsewhere on this site I've read that the X60 has a 4-pin firewire port. S...

Sorry, folks who replied re the adapter cord: I didn't see your messages. Thanks for the info.

Mary

Thanks, Ryan. I hadn't thought of that. Unfortunately, neither applies to me. the battery isn't on recall and sadly, I bought this machine from a reseller on ebay and his warranty is worthless. I've learned my lesson. but as to the adapter question--does anyone know whether it's safe to buy a new ad...

I traveled recently and failed to take the cord that connects my x60 adapter to the electric outlet. I bought a cord at Radio Shack that fit into the adapter and used it for several days. After four days the charge light on my computer started flashing orange, and I have an error message telling me ...

Thanks, Gator. Time is running out and the river is rising, so I really appreciate your speedy help. I'm going to get information about the projector this weekend, I hope. In the meantime, I have several other questions. First, would I use the same video cable to hook the laptop to my HD TV? Second,...

I've made a slideshow for my daughter's wedding Aug 24 using Photoshop Elements on my X60. My daughter says she has a projector for showing the show; all I have to do is hook my computer up. But I've just realized that I have no idea what it will take to make the hook-up. We also have a fairly basic...

Does the 7200 RPM 100GB hard drive on amrav's link fit into the existing HD slot on a thinkpad 42p?
