Re: Wattage display unavailable with latest power manager pkg?

Hi All,

Sorry for digging up an old topic.
However, I noticed that I was unable to get the wattage display to show up even with the registry hack. I'm using PWM 1.60 with my X61 Type-7674.

Anyone having similar problems?

Thanks in advance.

Anyone has experience with the T42p/r50p motherboard/chassis flexing after prolong usage on the dock?

I've tried searching around in the forum but haven't really managed to get any posts on it.

thanks rkawakami for the quick response. I managed to open up the dock and found out that for some reason, the springs attached to the two catches both came off.

Dock II with faulty notebook eject button

Hi All, I'll like to know if it is possible to replace the Dock II's faulty eject mechanism (I'm unable to eject my R50p out of my Dock II when I press the eject button below the power button) with the eject mechanism from another IBM replicator or Mini Dock for the T40/R50 series? If not, how can I...
