After digging around, I found there was another setting. IN THE AMD SOFTWARE!

Wouldn't care but don't wanna ruin my new SSD or waste 8GB of space for something I don't want.

Whoops forgot the details! New toys will do that to you... Windows 8.1. I set it under the power settings in Control Panel. Lid setting is set to sleep only. Where are the Lenovo power settings? I installed from scratch since it came without a hard drive. Also it is plugged in, hibernate on both is ...

Ok this is annoying me. I have set the "Hibernate after" setting to never, yet when I open the lid in the morning, it went into hibernation over night... Is there something I missed?

Figures that be my luck! Maybe I will just use an SSD then...

So I am guessing there is no way to modify it to fit?

I am going to be getting an x140e from a friend, which needs a hard drive. Online it says 7MM but the laptop is so thick I was wondering if anyone has used a 9.5MM drive instead.

I got a G500s after my X200s died on me. Sure it isn't a ThinkPad but it was in my budget of 500 dollars and has nice specs. Well after using, and hating Windows 8 I ended up putting 7 back on it. The problem is, my hotkeys work but not 100%, If I press the volume keys, it will adjust the volume but...

Wanted to bump this up again even though its old. I did get TPFanControl working, and have yet to update bios, but I was wondering if anyone ever solved the problem? What is the actual cause of the fan issues?

When I rebuilt the working 360Cs from two non working ones, I actually considered throwing the leftover 360 away..! :eek: Luckily I kept it, and I WILL be keeping it. :-) Some weeks ago I even found a left over, old IBM harddrive among my stuff. It still spins when inserted in the no-working 360Cs,...

I have a Dell that has a 486 but the thing is in bad shape. I love using old computers and I collect them sort of like how we collect ThinkPads here. It is fun to try and push a 486 to its limits of usability!!!

Yeah Radio, I checked the Salvation Army here looking for a 486 and no computers at all.

If you ever get the urge to throw out an old computer, perhaps a 486, I will pay shipping...

I personally prefer backpacks but hey its a THINKPAD BRANDED BAG!

Where my dad works, he said something with throwing out the food can't really be done since it is specific stuff. He works for a place that delivers to places like Perkins, and Five Guys. If its expired, it can be sold to employees cheap if the customer allows it otherwise it must be tossed.

Yeah if you pay attention you can get good stuff!

Sorry to bump my old thread but the bios is 1.05 and I do want to update it. Do you really need a working battery? Mine is totally 100% shot.

They were going to throw it out!

I just had the same kind of problem on a 600, 15GB and 30GB drives would not work correctly. The issue was they were showing up as 8GB (in the case of the 15GB model, LBA wasnt working) and Win2k installer would try to format it and fail. All I had to do was replace the CMOS battery (it was dead) a...

I really don't know what to add, its confusing me to no end. I am trying a low level format on the drives now.

My 600e will only work with 1 of my hard drives, and refuses to work with any of my other ones. The hard drives work fine in any other laptop though. I want to use a smaller one for this computer, and the only one it works with is an 80GB i had originally used with it when I got it, and have since p...

700MHZ P3, 384MB ram, 60GB hdd, and a 14.1" screen.

My father in-law had a T20 (same CPU as your A20M) that ran Prime95 24/7 for a few years. NHC reported CPU temps of mid-high 80's depending on the weather. No hardware problems at all. Why did he run it that long? Using it to heat the house? :lol: Thanks, Ray suggested I try a diagnostic test.

Hey guys, I got a A20m off a friend, and I think there is a problem with the fan controller. It is not coming on when using Windows, but spins up at POST. I was wondering when the fan should come on, or if someone could help me get TPFanControl to work on this model so I could have it set to manuall...

Oldest technology is my ~1957 Rolex Datejust...inherited from my grandfather. Still keeps great time, and unlike most modern "fancy" watches, it's not flashy. Really, though, while it's quite nice, it's not truly fancy--just a well-made tool...no "bling" like the current ones. An old warhorse. Love...

If it fits, it SHOULD work.

Maybe I got a good one but they only flaw mine has is a cracked off peice above the express card slot.

I think I'd go crazy if I went too long without mine. I don't know what your budget looks like, but you can always get another one. Have you looked through the Marketplace here? There's a few Thinkpads up for sale still. My computer budget is 0 right now. I have a nice Toshiba a205*S5859 anyway.

I still have a 570 but I never use it (loose hinges, dead battery, not very useful), and I sold my T20 to a friend awhile back because she needed a computer.

Just put OS X on that sucker and slap him with it!
