When working with my newly purchased x220, especially on a surface like a table, the battery loses connection when I move it, shutting the computer down. Does anyone else have this issue?

Reset as in reset to default?

Is the "USB BIOS Support" enabled inside the BIOS config?

Go into BIOS, Config, USB, and see if USB BIOS Support is enabled.

Yep, it's enabled.

I can boot fine through USB; it's just that sometimes, the drives don't show up in a cold boot. I'm running the latest available BIOS on the driver matrix. I can boot to two external drives, as well as my flash drive. I can't boot to a certain card reader to which X100e can, though. You're a fortun...

Is this 14" or 15"?

Agreed; I have the same issue with my T400 in that it requires a soft-reboot. Don't quite feel like turning on Always on USB, and I don't mind soft rebooting (I usually get distracted and miss the F12 window :help: ) Can you look to see what bios you are running with your t400? The problem I am hav...

Yes, of course I can, but the option to boot through usbhdd is not operable.

In my bios the option to boot from usb (flash or external hd) is inoperable, "grayed out". My system model is 6475BQ8 ThinkPad T400, my bios is (3.19 ) 08/02/2010. Reading at the Lenovo site I found this: "The following conventional memory addresses are reserved by the BIOS and others. (When Intel T...

I have a very similar issue. I have TP T43 -- 2668-K6U -- with ATI Mobility Radeon X300. As noted above, the resolution is horrible. I think things read as correct (1024x768), but it's just fuzzy as it can be.

Any ideas?

Figured it out. The computer was fighting with a bad usb WD external drive. Now my docking setup works, but I have the challenge of figuring out how to recover all that data. Sigh.

Thinkpad T400 (6475 BQ8), 3 Gb memory, Vista Business 32, sp2. I'm very frustrated with docking on an advanced mini dock. The system seems to go into hibernation after boot and prior to startup. I get the "Microsoft" splash screen on the external (DVI) monitor (the one with the green "LED"s moving a...

This addresses a question I've had. Having taken physics many years ago I was trying to figure out whether I could use my T43 power supply with the T400 that I have on order (looking at purchasing an advanced mini dock on Craigs that is missing power cord). T43 V is 16, Amperage is 4.5. So even thou...
