Re: T60P Display issue
Thanks for your post. Would you know of a vendor or some one on this group who sells replacement dispay unit. My T60P is model 2008-83U Thanks very much PS It's odd that this has gone bad as Lenovo replaced it not too long ago and the unit has had very little use. Actually, they replaced the entire ...

Re: Thinkpad T60 Screen Goes DARK after 10 seconds of running
Before Lenovo replaced my LCD, I didn't realize just how dark and lousy it was looking, even before it died. Now it looks so bright and clear. I feel as if I have a new T60. Basically, it is new, everything has been replaced in the last few months aside from the main board. Way to go Lenovo :-)

USB Hard Drive not showing up
Good evening:
For some odd reason my USB hard drive is not showing up when I plug in. I'm using Windows 7 in my ThinkPad. I tried it with my home PC which is running XP and it shows up.
Also, I was able to use the USB HD in my ThinkPad a couple of weeks ago, so this is a new issue.
Any ideas

Re: T60 Hinge play
The hinges are nice and tight, ie: the screws are very secure. The play has to do with what I believe is some type of compression fitting in the center of each hinge, thus the lid has a bit of a wobble in it. My unit is three years old and it only used in my home, however, from opening and closing t...

The problem was something that I caused and forgot about. I did in fact make a reg change to remove the shortcut check-marks from the desktop shotcuts.
Anyhow, I went in and made the needed adjustment and problem is solved.

Re: Fingerprint reader overheating on R61
Just for the heck of it, check the hard drive. I know on the T60 the HD is located directly under the FP reader. This may be the cause of the heat...... At the very least, have a look into this. On the other hand, if the heat is actually coming from the FP reader, you may want to remove the palm res...
