All my trackpoint keyboards are the original IBM ultranav and the Lenovo 7-row travel keyboards. I'm not interested in experimenting with the Chinese copy since I rely on full functionality of the original - and I'm vary of unknown trackpoints. Even before posting I bought a used IBM ultranav withou...

Thank you for your reply. It's not a driver issue. That particular keyboard has worked well for 6+ years since I had it and then just that one arrow key stopped working. I have disassembled it, removing the cup, and there is no reaction when I press it. Everything else works fine. Whatever the probl...

Hi... A right cursor key stopped working on one of my ultranav keyboards. The issue is not mechanical - I disassembled the key, removing the cup, but the key still failed to respond. 1. If anyone has disassembled the backplate and repaired such a key, I would greatly appreciate any advice. 2. I'd gl...

40AN0135EU works with TP25 and another model which is not listed under supported models. However, I had only limited time to test so far.

Also, it looks to me as if all the thunderbolt gen 2 docks are the same and that the difference is in PSU only. I could be wrong, of course.

b) The Product Compatibility Matrix *XLS (from above posting by yours truly) also confirmed that T25 does not support this model. T470 is listed in the XLS as supported, which means TP25 is supported as well, unless Lenovo implements whitelist/blacklists in their Thunderbolt docks based on machine ...

DO NOT [/u] get the ThinkPad Thunderbolt 3 Workstation Dock ( 230W ) 40AN0230xx for your ThinkPad 25; it is physically incompatible! This ThinkPad Thunderbolt 3 Workstation Dock ( 230W ) for ThinkPad P1, P52, P72, and X1 Extreme (confirmed compatible with 2018 workstation models, and probably with ...

Hi,

has anyone used the TP25 with this dock? I cannot find it on the list of supported models.

Thanks,
Goran

Hi, The lower trackpoint buttons on one of my ultranav keyboards have stopped working because someone spilled something on it. The issue has been narrowed down to the films with rubber buttons, but I cannot find what's wrong. I've tried cleaning all the layers, but with no success. Any suggestions o...

Does anyone know if I can put the Lenovo card marked as 43R9153 into X301 without encountering whitelist issues?
Thx.

The ssd speed varies a lot between slc: fast reading and writing speed mlc: slow reading and writing speed intel mlc very fast reading / normal writing speed The old 64 gb ssd from last year was slc.

Because so far no-one has proven any benefit for it, unless you're short on RAM?

Max external resolution: 2048x1536@85Hz (DB-15 port); 2048x1536 (DisplayPort)

I'd point out the "85 Hz" part of the specification. Since LCD's run at 60 Hz, this means that there is extra bandwidth.

Regarding diskeeper, fragmentation isnt a problem of the physical disk. It doesnt matter if spindle or ssd for defragmentation to occur. Its a problem of the filesystem. So fragmentation still occurs. Another story is, if performance will suffer from fragmentation when using an SSD. Fact is, on a v...

i went from a 15.4" WUXGA T61p to the X300. while i sometimes miss the extra real estate, i find 1440x900 to be more than enough resolution to run photoshop, illustrator, word, excel, and email while on the road. the smaller size and lighter weight of the X300 is a refreshing change, especially sin...

My 2 cents again............

OK. What is the very best?

What parts do you need? I have many many 600 parts, and plenty 570 as well. Not all are for sale, as I still sell 600 series machines. At the moment, I would like to get quotes for the keyboard bezel for 570 (08K5981), if possible with some adhesive tape like the one originally used to fix LCD conn...

Hi,
I'm looking for an online store, preferably Canadian but US will do, which sells new replacement parts, including batteries. I'm particularly interested in parts for 570 and 600 notebooks. Does anyone have any recommendations? Thx.

Unfortunately, in Europe, we get absolutely screwed on import tax these days so ordering such an expensive item from the US would not be a good idea. I'd say that's too simplified. There are taxes and customs everywhere - but in the end, Europe always pays more for the same thing. And when somethin...

Jcool's link allows the FX570m configuration with 128mb only. I really want/need the 256mb version on a lower resolution screen (like most of us here). Do you guys think that we can expect to see a non ultra resolution version with the full 256mb of ram? :cry: For me the resolution on T61p was an i...

The T61P look very expensive in Canadian $...maybe a T60P can do the job... Also, they seem to have different hardware...the T61 seems to come with the Turbo caching technology with a HDD of 5400RPM and the T61P come with a 7200 RPM... But a T61P will rock solide :) If you have the money go for it ...

Based on what I've seen on Lenovo's site in Canada, it all depends if the model is Topseller or not. If it is, the price is normal. If not, it is outrageous. In many cases differences between models are negligible, excepting the price.

Wow. That's about $3,500 CAD.

I wouldn't worry too much. European prices are usually quite higher, and in some countries more than in others.

These are obviously the low end T61p models. Not everyone needs the speed. In this case, it seems the "p" designation is earned through screen resolution and processing power. Only the p models to my knowledge will have WUXGA. Im sure you are not complaining that Lenovo is giving people the option ...

I also just noticed in the 14" manual that the resolutions listed are 4:3 aspect resolutions. 1024x768 and 1400x1050. I guess the T61's and T61p wont all be widescreen. Whats also interesting is that one of the 15in models can run WUXGA with only an Intel x3100. Thats pretty impressive for an intel...

But since T40, IBM use darn too high thermal pad over GPU so all Thinkpad with dedicated graphic chips gets hot. If you replace the thermal pad with a copper plate (same heigt, seem my post in T60 temperature topic), you get up to 15°C less !!! Why don't they to that in factory ? Is that the case w...

I cannot remember about the previous one, but this one does list several XGA T61's. Page 59 of PDF, e.g.

Thanks for the reply. I assume you mean this: http://www.klm32.com/ ? If so, I just downloaded the "medium" version and it doesn't seem to let me configure anything except the core alphanumeric keys (but perhaps I need to buy a license to do more?) Yes, that's the one.

Is there a keyboard reconfiguration utility of some sort? I'm running Windows Vista, in case that matters. I've been using Keyboard Layout Manager for all my keyboard layout needs. I don't know if the program supports reprogramming of the keys you've mentioned because I was never interested in that...

Did you compare weights on T61 wide screen Vs a T61 4:3 ? Various people published detailed measures both here and on other forums. Not comparing them with T61 standard, but with T6x and T4x. Not that there should be much difference, but the point is that with its smaller screen area T61 14.1" WS s...
