I have looked through the forums and google and can't find the diffrent part numbers for X201 keyboards. (NMB,Alps,CHICONY). can someone point me to where I can find those information, and maybe some general info on which seems to be the better one.

Thank you,

comparing pictures from the back of the keyboards they do look very different. very disappointment, I was happy that I might get a keyboard upgrade as a result of my mistake.

I spilled some juice on my keyboard and now some of the keys don't work anymore, I was looking on ebay and found this http://www.ebay.ca/itm/New-Lenovo-Thinkpad-X201-X201s-US-Keyboard-45N2211-/270810446290?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3f0d8f79d2 it looks like the newer model thinkpad keyboard, and...

I don't know how lol. Give me your e-mail and I'll just email it to you. PM me if you don't want all the world to know your e-mail. Would you guys be kind enough and post the profile somewhere so reset of us without hardware calibrators can download it too? ps. I tried searching online to find a pr...

I have had really good experience with the latest version of AVG, its even faster that Microsoft Security Essentials.

So a small amount of coke spilled on my palmrest during a recent flight, and it leaked under the FN key. Now it is sticky and annoying to press :( Can I safely remove the key to clean underneath? I have ADP on the laptop but I dont want to send the laptop out for that. Im going to try to slim down ...

I have only used the M$ firewall since I had my X200s (previously used PCTools free firewall). Was using Avast for anti virus, but have recently switched to Microsoft Security Essentials (seems a bit slow when doing a quick or full scan, but no problems with real time scanning). I did a test few da...

The 43Y6553 card has a Realtek RTL8192SE chipset, which is the culprit. There are also 60Y3177, 60Y3185 and 60Y3187 cards listed as B/G/N, but each have N disabled ! http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/ThinkPad_11b/g/n_Wireless_LAN_Mini-PCI_Express_Adapter_II http://www.realtek.com.tw/products/productsVi...

I just ordered a X201 and I hope it comes with the lenovo logo, I actually like it!

Well, I would need the laptop to be able to pickup 5.4Ghz, I live in an apartment and 2.4Ghz is not really an option due to the amount of interference I get. the fact that the laptop can't pickup 5.4Ghz would be a deal breaker for me.

Just bought a Thinkpad edge, it has a 43Y6553 (ThinkPad 11b/g/n Wireless LAN Mini-PCI Express Adapter II?) wireless card. I also have a Linksys 610n dual band router which works fine with my other laptops, but my Edge only sees the G band of the router. my guess is that the network card installed do...

The lenovo's canadian site just posted dual core models. but the prices aren't set yet. base price is at 10K. have to wait for them to fix it.

Think of "Sony" and "Bose", they are both made by the same company!!! However "Bose" is limited to the "high end" audio/video stuff and there is no mention of the "Sony" name! I know its off topic but I had to mention the fact that that's just not true. Bose is a private company found and managed b...

Well, not many laptops allow you to do both simultaneously! The T61p's super-high display real estate makes this possible: web browser on the left half of the screen and the movie on the right. well, actually, I think all the current laptops are able to handle that without any problems, last time i...

Have you installed the Thinkpad utilities and drivers for those keys? Start here: http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/TPAD-MATRIX.html I installed all the drivers and the following apps: Fingerprint software Active protection system EasyEject Utility Power Manager Presentation Director Produ...

I have the same problem, it happens every once in a while when i resume from sleep, the only way to fix it is a restart, anyone knows how to avoid this? i have all the patches installed.

Hi, I have T60 with vista installed on it, I love the idea of being able to enter my uber secure logins using my fingerprint suck as banks and other passwords that actually matter :wink: I use Firefox and the password manager thing is getting a bit annoying, it even asks me to remember stuff when i ...

This might help you furtur with your diagnostic. go to control panel, switch to classic view, double click on "Fingerprint Sensor" select finger test, now swipe your finger, the print of your finger will be shown in that little box, now see if it looks anything like a finger print. if it doesn't the...

these are the new NTP server address that come with vista, and they all seem to be pretty reliable,

I had the same problem, i would say its the supperfetch not indexing usually stops when you are interacting with the computer.

Just a quick advice from all those using visual studio 2005. Do I get the 14.1 or wait for the 15.4 models to come out?? Btw might sound a noob question, does programming in VS consume lot of battery like watching movies?? thanks :lol: i think your most power consuming task in visual studio would b...

I would not touch the Atheros wireless card. You can try solving your problem by updating drivers, installing access connection. The Intel card, despite having problem, is part of the Centrino platform which benefits from better power management and saving than the Atheros card. Hence, you will hav...

I just found this online, there is a REALY easy step to enable some boot visuals,

I have a T60 2613-CTO. and yes my active setting is set to 2.

Hi, I just upgraded to vista and like it a little better than XP, but one major problem that i have is, when i start TPFancontrol service, it runs and i can hear my fan slowing down and everything, but it doesn't show the tray icon so i could open the interface where i could see the fan speed and th...

I figure out the screen brightness bug in NHC, 100% means lowest level, and 78% means highest level, you have to set it in the graphics tab.

Hi, when I installed vista, i had all three of the applications that you mentioned, how i used to manage it was, i had the IBM power manager profile set to the blank one in the list, so the power manager would not change the power settings in anyway, i only had it installed to have the task bar batt...
