Could you try to make a record of that noise? From your description it may be similar to that sound I get on my good old A31 - while transferring with high rates over the build-in ethernet interface.

Just "for fun", please check whether your sound may have something to do with LAN, too.

The biggest mystery: the LCD screen! I have: 42T0360 42T0361 15.4 INCH LCD DISPLAY FRU YES Seems to be a LG panel - 42T0xxx is a typical number for LG panels and it is not that unlikely as http://blog.mobile01.com/merlin/article/991 has checked his panel and found out that it is an LG, too.

OK, what I meant is that we will see Penryn before we see Cantiga, and by the time Cantiga is released more than one year will have passed since the release of Crestline. You are right. I missed the fact that Penryn will already be available in first quarter of 2008 while Cantiga will be in second ...

New laptop models are triggered by the release of new chipsets from Intel. These typically come every 1.5 years. The T61 is the result of the recent release of the Santa Rosa chipset. So expect to wait one and a half year before there is anything significatly new coming. There will be slightly fast...

richie23 what would this thing in October be? Well, the official price for "normal" models given at lenovo.com will probably not change until then - but chances are that there will be some special offers by resellers or new "Topseller" variants. One example from Germany: Currently there is a specia...

Well, I do not KNOW what happened, but that is what I would guess: Your hard disc / south bridge drivers did some bad thing - which resulted in a windows BSOD and therefore in a reboot. Unfortunately, your hard drive (or the storage controller in your southbridge) was still in a broken state due to ...

I would wait, the T62p coming out next month will have an octa-core intel processor, duel Nvidia 8900GTX 512mb, and a 15'' SXGA flexview screen - your patience will be rewarded OK, I think there are some hidden irony tags here, but anyway: - your "month" seems not to be the month we know on earth ;...

As I am in a similar situation (planning to replace A31 with T61p), my thoughts: - There will be nothing "big" coming out until October, the only thing might be a little price cut-off. - The next "big thing at the horizon" is the next Centrino version, but that will not come out this year: http://im...

Thanks for your reply! Although it is OK then (though still not perfect) I wonder why they prevent multiple Mini PCI (express) WLAN cards - anyone having some information about that? With Ethernet devices, they have the "Press Esc to continue" option, why not with WLAN devices? I know that there are...

UWB seems to be standard for most (all?) models in the US - but not in Europe! In fact, there seem to be NO models with UWB in Europe which is caused by regulatory problems with UWB...

Within the next month I will buy a T61p to replace my 5-year-old A31. While reading through the Hardware Maintenance Manual I found that there is a BIOS error message "01CA - More than one Wireless LAN devices are found. Remove one of them.". Does that mean the BIOS will prevent the system from boot...
