WTB: 41W5204 (14.1" long fan M10 assembly) + thermal gr
Fan in my T42p (2373-GVU) sounds like a meat grinder; I was able to get some WD40 in but this is just prolonging the inevitable. Anyone have a spare? Know of any good parts distributors? Also need some thermal grease to reseat the CPU/GPU...

BIOS update failing
I cannot seem to update my BIOS via the System update. As soon as I click "next" I get the following error message: "Driver Loading failed. The Utility cannot proceed."

basically that you login to a domain, you run their antivirus (which is a terrible program, i think Trend Micro made it), you give full administrative access (using the whole Microsoft Big Brother package - SMS, WMI, etc.), you allow them to run scripts that push updates and certain software package...

T60 (2007MS2) screen resolution changing when closing lid
I think this has been posted here before, but there seemed to be no clear resolution to this issue: When I close my lid (I have it set to "Do nothing" in the power manager), the resolution will change...looks like it goes to SVGA or something lower. This is annoying for several reasons, mainly that ...

Interfacing with the internal accelerometers?
Recently, I came across these developments for the MacBook Pro: http://slappingturtle.com/wordpress/?p=12 http://pallit.lhi.is/palli/dashlevel/ These interesting and potentially feature-extending applets utilize the new MacBook's built-in accelerometer, much like that of Thinkpads for years. I know ...

Great work on the CG, but as with just about every video today that integrates real footage with CG items, the physics is glaringly wrong.

Interestingly, just a few hours after someone posted a full guide for installing 10.4.4 from the System Rescue DVD, the OSX86Project forums were served with a DCMA notice and shut down. Apple seems to have snapped:

Well, it's a long story but here's a synopsis: Apple decides to convert to Intel processors, rather than the previous PowerPC (they require different sets of instructions, that's why software built for a PPC will not run on an Intel, and vice-versa). Thus, they must rework their operating system (OS...

T42p (FireGL) graphics card failure?
Well, up until now my T42p (2373-GVU) has been nothing short of flawless. (Hence my lack of a need to post on these forums much :wink: ). However, just today after I got home from class, I hit resume and the usual desktop bounced back up...after less than 5min of replying to an email, the screen com...

Perhaps this what you're looking for? http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-61154 If cost is not an issue, then go for it...it's completely compatible with Thinkpads and will do exactly what you want.

This is more of a hack-job solution, but it makes a bit of difference ergonomically speaking: I place a 3-ring binder (1.5") under the Thinkpad, with the spine of the binder at the back of the notebook...it serves to elevate the screen as well as increase the angle of the keyboard at the same time. ...
