Well, I need at least 250gb, but I'd like more depending on the cost. I haven't even looked into them enough to know what's available.

What do I need to know about SSDs to choose the right one? Any recommendations on where to get the best price?

Will an SATA III drive be incompatible?

I've been looking at a hard drive upgrade for an X200 and I'm seeing SATA II and SATA III models.
What's the difference, and are there any issues with compatibility?

I'm looking at a Hitachi 7K1000, but there still seems to be various choices. How do you select from there?

Thanks,

Yes. You'll be missing a few drivers but it should work well enough to get you to the point of sorting these out. Thanks for the info. I went ahead and restored it last night and it actually came out perfect! Nothing missing, so far as I can tell. It might be one of the easiest, cleanest restores I...

Can I recover an X200 with X220 recovery discs?

Secondarily, can I take a hard drive out of a working X220 and swap it into an X200, or will there be issues?

Thanks for the replies.

Found just what I needed. The forum comes thru again!

Title says it, need an X61 keyboard (non-tablet) in good to excellent condition. Let me know what you have & how much.

Thanks,

Apparently, nobody had any idea what the issue was here, but I accidentally solved it myself, although it's still something of a mystery. My keyboard had a couple "sticky" keys; they were fully functional, just annoying, so I decided to get a new keyboard for it. Got a beautiful new keyboard from 'T...

Here's the info I found on my driver: (it's the latest version available from Lenovo) Intel(R) Graphics Media Accelerator Driver for Mobile Report Report Date: 04/24/2012 Report Time[hr:mm:ss]: 10:58:38 Driver Version: 6.14.10.4926 Operating System: Windows XP* Professional, Service Pack 3 (5.1.2600...

I ran Lenovo's System Update, and it didn't suggest anything. ??
Is there another way I could check that?

I have a new-to-me X60 with a freshly loaded XP-Pro OS. I'm having an issue with it going into standby. It's set up to go into standby whenever the lid is closed, but rarely does it actually complete the action. It also will not go into standby when prompted, via Fn + F4. Sometimes it will, but most...

I need a working X3 ultrabase. It doesn't need to be in great shape, so long as it works.
I don't need a drive for it, but the drive slot must be working.

If you happen to have them and could combine shipping, I could also use one or two
OEM 16v/4.5a AC adapters, in good condition.

Thanks,

Is there a reference somewhere that shows which Thinkpads use the same CMOS battery? Browsing eBay would lead one to believe that the same battery fits many models, but others are listed with more narrow application lists. Hard to know what's accurate. I have a number of Thinkpads that will probably...

Thanks for the assistance. I'm curious as to why the 1802 hack is needed at this point. I've never done it before. Was it already on the system when I got it and just needs to be redone now because the CMOS battery died, or seemed to for awhile? Does it need the hack because it has a different wirel...

I have an X32 that was working fine until recently. We had a AC cord that broke at the jack and there was some electrical sparking noises and the computer acted a little weird and then shut down. :eek: I feared the worst and when I restarted it, it failed to boot and I got the following error messag...

So the other day, my trusty T42 suddenly refuses to startup. It seems to power on normally, lights flash appropriately, fan comes on, hard drive spins up, intel/centrino screen comes up, then the screen goes blank and the hard drive indicator light stops it's typical flashing and that's it, nothing ...

I've got a T42 with Intel 2200BG wireless and I'm having a problem losing connectivity with my wireless network. It works fine, when it works, but it randomly drops the connection, starts trying to "acquire the network address", then pops up the "This connection has limited or no connectivity" messa...

Bump

I'm looking for either a loaded X31/X32, or a basic X60. Must be in nice condition, with Ultrabase, and have at least 60-80gb hard drive.
Not interested in any X4x models. I also need a fan for a T42.

PM with offers,

Thanks

Title says it all. PM with offers.
60gb only, not interested in a 40gb.

Thanks,

I recently restored my T42 with a new hard drive. I've been restoring data from the previous hard drive, via the 2nd HDD adapter. I've done this numerous times over the years without any trouble. This time isn't going quite so well. I've copied data from Program Files and from other areas of the roo...

I have a T42 with an Ultrabay 2nd HDD adapter. A Toshiba 40gb drive is in the adapter tray. The computer works fine with the hard drive but the problem comes when trying to eject the 2nd hard drive. When trying to eject, I keep getting the message, "device cannot be stopped right now, please try aga...

Why not download Outlook 2010 beta for free from MS

Great idea... but I already tried that. Outlook 2010 Beta won't sync with my Windows Mobile phone.

I'm looking for a large PATA hard drive for my T42. Probably around 160gb, at least. Would prefer new, but might consider slightly used, depending on the price. PM me with offers or links to any good deals you're aware of. Also wouldn't mind your input on what's a good price on these drives. I haven...

I'm looking for a cheap copy of Outlook 2007. Don't need the whole Office Suite, just Outlook. Any ideas on where to get it cheaply?

Thanks for your help.

Are there any Thinkpads with a separate 10key area on the keyboard? I've seen them on some wide-screen laptops but not on any Thinkpad I'm familiar with.

Recently got a nice T4x keyboard from SkiBunny, very smooth transaction. Thanks,

Would prefer new but near new is fine. PM with offers.

Thanks,
