Re: My incredible attempt to repair a T420 motherboard *WARNING: PICS*

I guess the missing resistor is R142. The component numbers are printed left of the circuits.
To be sure, maybe measure some of the other components in that area, and compare ratings with schematics.

Re: 4GB RAM, only ~2.5GB available question.

Only thing you can do now is disable the intel card in the bios. Then restart and reenable it if you need to switch. Looks like it has nothing to do with the intel card itself. If I disable the switchable graphics in the bios, the system reports 3065MB ram, regardless of which graphic card is activ...

Re: 4GB RAM, only ~2.5GB available question.

Switchable graphics is crap in my opinion, a buggy setup that has caused me a bunch of crashes. Thanks for letting me know about that. I haven't really had any bad experiences with switchable graphics so far, I certainly think it's the way of the future it allows the flexibility of both power savin...

keyboard FRU 08K4986 / Part 08K4957

Hi,

I cannot find any informations for a keyboard (US FRU:08K4986 14.1" ) at the lenovo site. Does anyone have this kind of keyboard?
How does this keyboard compare to the NMB/Make in Thailand keyboard (FRU 08K5044). I'm looking for a good keyboard as a spare part.

Regards,
Markus

Re: What is the differences between those two dockingstation

Harryc is right, the first pictures show a Port Replicator for the older thinkpads (t2x ). The last picture shows a Port Replicator II, which is for the t4x line. You should consider buying a Mini-Dock instead, it has 4 USB Ports on the back and an own power supply. If you have several usb devices i...

Are you sure it's actually a German keyboard? The Dutch and Finnish/Swedish keyboard layouts are quite similar as well, but still QWERTY. It could be a Finnish/Swedish keyboard because Dutch keyboards do not have umlauts. Here is a very good wikipedia page showing different keyboard layouts: http:/...
