Did the little switch on the front of the machine get accidently turned off? I've hit it by accident a couple of times when moving the machine around...

That was the last thing I was expecting to have an issue with. DVI has worked through the docking station on the other Thinkpads I've used. I checked the Intel site on the 945 GM chipset and didn't see anything about DVI not working on the Lenovo page for the 9442. Figured I was good to go... Other ...

Hi Frank,
I may have an Advanced Doc 2305-10U available if I cannot resolve the lack of DVI support on my Z61t 9442-UN6. I should know in a couple days...It's like new, only used to get DVI support for the Z 61. I got it on 4/13/07.

I should clarify, I got it working on VGA only, which does not look very good on my external flat panel. After several hours of poking around on the Lenovo and Intel sites, it appears that Z61t 9442-UN6 with the Intel graphics set will NOT do DVI in any way, shape or form. Not even hooked up to the ...

Update... Finally got it working. Needed another BIOS update. This one was under the Optional updates on the Lenovo updater. Bios 1.08 3/14/07..

That fix works pretty well for docking stations. Can still kill the machine just plugging it in though. Pretty much confims the static problem, but the battery manufacturer seems to be part of the puzzle as well.

Tried that as well... I put on the latest Intel driver 6.14.10.4785 from 2/26/07. Still no 1920x1200 resolution option. I get 1600x1200, 1680x1050 and 2048x1536. My T60 acts like you describe. Choose 1600x1200, click apply, then 1920x1200 will show up. Seems like there's a line in a configuration fl...

I don't get 1920 x1200 as an option in the screen settings for monitor 2 and extended Desktop.. Unfortunatley, I don't have a docking station to try the native DVI connection. Will try a VGA to DVI adapter. This is a bit of a suprise, since my 3 year old T42 will do 1920x1200 through the VGA port as...

Sounds slightly different, the T60s are rebooting. Plug in or set in docking station, poof, hope you saved your work... End result is the same though.

Tried 16 bit, no luck...

We have 5 or 6 folks now having shutdown problems and they all have post recall batteries. I noticed that the issue got worse during the winter when it's less humid. This would make sense if it were static related. For docking stations, we've gotten little extenders for the outside grounding pins. T...

I'm using VGA at the moment... Also forgot to mention there's 2 gig of memory. I'll give 16 bit a try, but if that's the color depth I have to run at, this machine will be looking for a new home..

Hi All, I have a Z61t and can't get it to drive my Sony P234 at full resolution (1920x1200). I've tried updated Intel drivers for the onboard 945GM chip set and updated Sony drivers. The closest I can get is 1600x1200. Any Ideas? I was not expecting this to be a problem. Everything else is working f...

Have you guys considered a grounding problem? If the AC adapter freezes the machine without being plugged in, sounds like it wouldn't be an AC adapter or power issue - but a grounding issue. Try grounding the machine before you plug-in and see if you get any freezes. We are having similar issues wi...

All of us are frusterated right along with you, jtheun. This post at Lenovo's design blog explains (a little) why they made the change: http://www.lenovoblogs.com/design/design-theory/2006/08/02/moores-law-and-grey-velcro/ +1 Frustrated here as well. My supply of spare parts is now useless. Most of...
