Cool, so you are a Linux user then?
Oh, wait, the signature...

OK then, in a "revert" like this, I'd open up Device Manager and select the hub there. Then I'd go to the Driver tab and Update Driver , Install from a list or a specific location , navigate to the folder with .inf and see what it reads from there...can you see your Adesso when the .inf file is scan...

Kudos and thanks to LPC who packaged the stuff I bought for a long voyage, by what one can only term as "labour of love". Not a scratch, and very fast shipping as well, and he is one very sweet person to deal with.

I've searched all over this information...I can't figure out where to place these files. It's a driver for an Adesso USB hub....3 .sys files and a .inf file. Any help would be much appreciated. I guess the .inf and the driver files are in the same folder. So right click on the .inf and choose "Inst...

I did a clean install of XP Pro onto an X60. After the basic install, about 2gb of boot partition is used. After running Lenovo's System Update and MS Windows Update - using both to install only "required", selected "recommended" and selected "optional" drivers and updates, nearly 5gb is being used...

I noticed the same thing in the A2x series and repaired the site with two-component epoxy, taking the brass nuts/casings from a broken base I had. Maybe you can do the same. If only I had the broken pieces (I noticed only one screw holds the hinge cover, the others' housings are borked). This puts ...

Thank you all for your responses. You guys are just great. I think I've fixed the problem. Bit the bullet and tore the machine apart after finding a LCD CCFL from Istanbul (haven't ordered yet). To my surprise one of the cables were broken at just the connection to the CCFL tube (came loose from the...

I think I have found a replacement LCD. Will let you guys know... Sadly, the replacement LCD was just that: so good to be true, for 100 YTL, roughly USD 90. It was for 13.3...Though I can keep the inverter, I'd be needing a new ribbon cable, new top chassis, etc...so I will go with the CCFL route. ...

I think I have found a replacement LCD. Will let you guys know...

Dumb question...are you sure that the cable is plugged in correctly to the inverter? It will unfortunately go in backwards and create a sizzling/popping noise. It occured to me as well. Most of the connectors have tiny grooves, that make them attach in one way. :-( Oh, for the ensuing health discus...

Thank you all...although the problem remains, just the amount of response I get here is amazing... I tried with both inverters again, checking for broken cabling. None found, the cables are good. Display sleep, wake, 1-2 second backlight, the sizzling sound, then poff, gone. Repeat. Interestingly, t...

Hey Jeremy
Thanks and a quick answer: I can see (via flashlight) that there's video. So, yes.

Bulbs, eh? hmmm...will be a pain to find them here in Bodrum...

Hello All Back to this excellent forum, after working on several computers. As I am in between jobs (P.C. term for "unemployed at the moment"), I needed to revitalize my old T23... So I decided to fix the backlight problem on my T23. Previously Ray gave some excellent pointers, and Ihave browsed thr...

I can get my hands on this wifi-card: Intel PRO/Wireless 2915ABG Wireless LAN card. 802.11a/b/g standard. Model: WM3B2915ABG Will it work in either (or both) a T23 or a T30? Anybody know if this provokes an 1802/01c9 error or not? Can't say anything about T30, but 2915 is the card I am using on my ...

Check your BIOS settings. I seem to remember there's an option under Config/Power on my T23 that can enable/disable hibernation, although I can't remember if it's only for when the system is docked. I'd try it with the one I'm using now, but I'm using it now :) . Unfortunately, neither disabling hi...

It really just goes to show that Google can find almost anything! Scary, isn't it. The data they are most industriously collecting and archiving. I am not afraid of Microsoft anymore. I have a more powerful beast. Oh, and you won my respect. Once more. Though it is not cashable (but I am working at...

I did some search after Bill's OP, but came up empty-handed and decided to watch here, in case someone would find a solution...

I usually don't like using emoticons, I'm old school ASCII.
But, Ray...

Can anyone tell me the best video driver for the S3 Savage IX in my T22? I'm having some issues with Direct3D. My current driver is the one that XPSP2 put there for me, namely the Microsoft Certified IX 1014 driver v. 6.13.10.7050 from S3, dated 22 Jan 2003. As far as I recall, the T22 doesn't actu...

Strange...two reports so far. Let me update the original forum thread with these.

Ok, I've installed BootVis and had it go through a hibernate cycle. It shows all of the stats and drivers loaded and all, but under Disk I/O it says "Warning! Disk write caching is disabled." Could I have somehow disabled the cache? I've recently updated the ATA Controller drivers, I wonder if that...

Depending on your setup and needs, you might want to disable some auto-starting services. I don't suggest you do that if you're uncomfortable doing it, as most of these are highly inter-dependant. If you will do it nevertheless, go with a guide, and tweak very few services at a time, reboot, use the...

Of course, that is if you really want to disable it. The thing is, if you have to "kill" your Windows file explorer process for whatever reason, having 2 separate processes allows the desktop to keep running and not have to do a restart. Craig True, but $5 says the Windows default is disabled :-) A...

I could definitely host a copy temporarely at home. I figure it could replicate to a couple places quite quickly if we put our minds to it. And then we could be assured that a quick google search comes up with a mirror and noone has to bother the thinkpads.com forums again ;-) Thanks for looking, -...

Open up an explorer window, any window, say My Computer

Go to Tools --> Folder Options, click View Tab

Find Launch Folder Windows in a separate Process, uncheck it.

Reboot

Check if condition persists. It should not.

I think I might be hitting against the limitations of the S3 chipset. Is it possible to output to a 17" 1,280 x 1,024 LCD as your primary and have the laptop 14" screen as the secondary? I suspect this is possible on the T4x series given they are ATI and hence more advanced but what about the T2x? ...

Oh, Purcy, and for some of us "visual fun" is something very, very important :-) Musti I'm with you on that; part of my geekness training is the thrill I get when I sit in the dark with my ThinkLight on!! 8) "geekness training" made me crack up, Purcy :-) I think it is safe to say you're way past b...

Could someone enlighten me, is this just for visual fun or does this do something important? I was under the impression I was never to tilt or suddenly move my Thinkpad while it was running, the shift could damage the HD. I'm not dissing this program, I'm just trying to learn. Thanks in advance. Un...

Depends. I disable DNS caching, put my ISP's DNS (there's usually two DNS entries) into my router config, and use a custom Hosts file to block ads. Everything is much faster.

Has anyone seen the ThinkPad Mover program? It's silly but it looked like a good 5 minutes of excitement...does anyone have the program or know where to find it? Google is starting to frustrate me. http://youtube.com/watch?v=MRbYihLS7N4 That's pretty cool... http://bulknews.typepad.com/blog/2006/06...

I didn't know whether to thank you, or not: I made a self-promise to stop at the upgrades and souping-ups, but, alas, the search for the screen begins! Your fault.

Thanks
