PM sent.

The battery in my x301 (type 2776) only lasts about 5-10 minutes, so I am looking for a better one. Does anybody here have a good one for sale, or should I just go ahead and buy this one?: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Green-Cell-Notebook-Battery-for-Lenovo-Thinkpad-X301-2776-Laptop-3600mAh-/182298088009?...

I didn't forget. It now has 2 GB RAM.

Two 256 MB PC100 100MHz SD-RAM 144-Pin SO-DIMM Laptop Memory modules for sale (Transcend & Samsung) on eBay. 100% of the price will be donated to Samaritan's Purse. http://www.ebay.com/itm/281662724795?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649 http://www.ebay.com/itm/281664495301?ssPageNam...

Yes to both the CPU and the wireless card. There are a couple of "N" wireless cards that would work in a T4x, you'll need to apply the "no-1802" hack, though. This is what I have in my T43pSF, 300Mb/s on the 2.4GHz spectrum, two antennae: http://www.amazon.com/TP-LINK-TL-WN861N-Wireless-Adapter-300...

1) You could go with a Dothan CPU instead of your present Banias one. PM 745 (Intel SL7EN) which runs at 1.8 GHz is likely the best bang for the buck. 4) Any IBM (Atheros-chipped) mini PCI wireless card will be superior to what you have now, as will Intel 2200BG. Total cost for these two upgrades s...

My T40 was not just my first Thinkpad, but the first laptop of any kind that I bought (used, about 1 year old, 11 years ago this fall), as well as being the most expensive laptop I've ever bought, and I really liked it. So even though I haven't used it much the last few years, I can't bring myself t...

I recently bought an x301 from 91011. It is absolutely immaculate, like new! I think I got a fantastic deal and am very happy with it. I highly recommend 91011!

Thanks for your helpful post, which I just saw! I am still mainly using Xp, but have downloaded and installed Slacko Puppy Non-PAE 5.60 (using the Windows installer, found here: http://www.mediafire.com/folder/loqca478iljiz/560), so now the x40 is dual-boot. I am happy with it so far. ---Puppy Linux...

Thanks!

Crucial M4, Samsung 830, Intel 320 series all come to mind, and can be found in NOS (New Old Stock) condition within your price range.

ca. 100 GB or more, preferrably less than $100 - 150.

How big do you need it to be and what are you looking to spend?

Thanks for your response. Would you be able to give some examples of inexpensive SSDs that would work in the z60m and that you would recommend? It will work. However, hybrid drives have gotten very mixed reviews and I'd personally go for a SSD, especially at today's prices. Your machine, your call.

I have a z60m with a Toshiba MK8032GSX 80 GB HD. I would like to replace the HD with a larger and faster HD. Will a Seagate Hybrid ST1000LM014 (http://www.computer.is/vorur/7900/) work in a z60m (without any BIOS modification)? Or is there a better (and less expensive) option?

Thanks for your response.

I have a z60m with an Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2915ABG card. Is there a better card that will work without BIOS modification?

Picked up the z61t today, installed the drivers from Lenovo, and now everything seems to work OK. Thanks again for the help!

According to this page, the max is 4 GB: http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/detail.page?LegacyDocID=MIGR-68040 I have been reading the forums for a while now since getting my X60 tablet that the screen died and I now have a x61 tablet. it is model number 7762-C54 .

Thanks!

ajkula66 wrote:Yes it should work.

It's Lenovo (atheros) abg card and the drivers are available on their website.

That's going to be the least of your problems once everything else is hopefully sorted out...

P.S. Do you have any idea whether the card that I bought on eBay should work in the z61t (once it has been moved to the correct slot, without messing with the BIOS)? And if I need new drivers for it, do you have any idea where I could obtain the necessary drivers? (here is the link to the card: http...

Many thanks for your help. I have sent them an email and will be visiting them soon. Oh my what did they do with that poor machine... I'd be re-visiting whoever worked on that Z61t for you with a mallet in one hand and ThinkPad in the other...seriously. Just have them fix what they messed up. If the...

The Ethernet was disabled, but I have now enabled it. The Bluetooth is missing.

ajkula66 wrote:Right.

Because the wireless card was never replaced.

The new wireless card got inserted into the WWAN slot and probably can't be read from there.

Now, what does Device Manager say about your Ethernet and Bluetooth?

Device Manager states "Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 3945ABG"

What does the Device Manager state?

Thanks for your reply. But why does Everest list both of them as "Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 3945ABG"?

My wife's z61t was starting to behave badly, and when I found the following page, I realized it needed to be cleaned: http://www.fixya.com/support/t1447630-z61t_overheating I figured I would have the wireless card replaced at the same time, so I went on eBay and found the following card, which I bou...

I've been playing with the 14.04 daily builds, and it appears that even tho the official release date is April, it's essentially ready for prime time now, and is faster, I think, than 12.04, with very few bugs. (The only major one is that the WDE is not quite up to speed, it seems; because of a sup...

I have an x40 with Xp which I use every day as my main laptop, and I intend to continue using it for as long as possible, in spite of the discontinuation of support. If I ever have to stop using Xp, then I will switch to Linux. Does anybody have experience of using Puppy Linux on an x40?

I came across this helpful thread while looking for info on upgrading my wife's z61t (9440-ADU w. T2400 @ 1.83GHz and 2 GB RAM). My impression is that upgrading the CPU would probably not make that much of a difference and would probably not be worth the hassle and expense, but switching to SSD coul...
