Help - x201s asking price

I'm trying to set the price for an x201s type 5143-28U. The unit was purchased June 2010 and it has LOR warranty until 2013-06-07. I believe the paid price was $1550 or so, plus $120 for the LOR upgrade. Unit details: Intel i7-640LM cpu (2.13 max 2.93 ghz) 12.1' WXGA+ (1440x900) LED display 320G 720...

Re: New Lenovo Support Page (June 2011)

Something that hasn't been mentioned yet (I don't think) -- the MIGR document numbers were always well and uniquely indexed by the major search engines. So if Lenovo Support mentioned a MIGR document you needed to access, you would just search: MIGR-12345, or whatever, and viola, the right Lenovo do...

TVSU (System Update) out of date, not offering updates

Our office is now mostly Thinkpads. We have a T500, type 2081-CTO that System Update will not detect and offer new updates. I know that the TVSU database sometimes lags the available updates by little while, but in this case there were quite a few updates that had been posted; none were picked up as...

Re: X61 WinXp - Blue Screen (BSOD) at EVERY dock

There is a bug in the microsoft xp kernel that creates this behavior when docking adds or switches to a secondary (external) display. I fought this as well until Microsoft posted a hotfix. Take a look at the article -> http://support.microsoft.com/kb/959252 and see if that doesn't fix you up. If you...

Re: Problems with new LAN drivers

I, too, am seeing problems with the 7.4.2.134 Atheros drivers (on my Type 2613 T60, XP SP2). I haven't lost connection to my AP or anything, but suddenly my link speed will go below 100 kbps and stay that way until I do a "Repair.." in XP or some other similar reset. I say we call this a bad driver ...

MS hotfix is out

Microsoft just posted a fix for BSoD when you enable/disable external monitor. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/959252 Apparently this is a side-effect of a kernel update as provided in KB 954211. I had an Thinkpad x61 Tablet user with this issue. We just installed the hotfix and after a quick test l...

After using System Update a couple of weeks ago the ATI driver was updated. (I have a T60 2613CTO with x1400 video.) After that update I began to get very sudden and hard lockups (black screen, no keyboard response, forced to reset power button) during some DiVX/H.264 video playback. On an intellige...

I have an Enermax Aurora and love it. It has low profile, short action keys with the scissors type of spring, much like an Alps, so it feels a lot like my laptop (a T60 now, an iBook before that). The frame is billet aluminum, too. It's quite nice. Has 2 USB ports on the right side and integral audi...

Update: I bit the bullet and took TPA's advise and did a fresh install. Once the system comes up to the desktop it's just a few seconds from there and it's ready to go. It was a PITA getting all the drivers and mystery missing devices installed (..which is why I try to avoid doing bare reloads on la...

5 minute startup on new T60 - suggestions?

Guys- I just took delivery of a 2613CTO (T7200 C2D, 100/7200 HDD, 1GB (1DIMM.. for now) 15" IPS SXGA+, Radeon X1400, IBM 802.11 a/b/g w. Bluetooth, no WWAN). The installed OS was XP Home, but out of the box I removed all the trialware I knew I didn't need and then did an in place upgrade to XP Pro S...

Ok, I'm a dufus. Must ... remember ... always ... read ... the ... "stickys".

So it look's like I'll be going for the 15" T-series. The size/weight I think will be worth it. Such a shame the T61 has no Flexview options, but I understand Lenovo just couldn't find a reliable supplier.

How do you ID a Flexview in a T60 ?

I'm looking at T60's on a certain auction site, but I want to be sure to only select from the FlexView models. Are all SXGA+ 14.1" T60's Flexview models? Is there anything to ask the seller if they don't say "Flexview" on the auction page? I'm new to Thinkpad fandom, but I'm definitely getting a TPa...
