Overall, once you figure out how the process work....IBM has been great. The #1 most important thing you need to do is Phone IWS and have them authorize your repair with the service station. If the service station is not authorized for your repair ahead of time, they can jerk you around. Next move i...

I've been to this service station in Bangkok before to have my keyboard replaced (the space button didn't work properly). I told them I was under warranty and that I shouldn't have to pay for the replacement. I believe there were some language difficulties between us and the clerks, but I ended up h...

Actually it was US customer support who couldn't help us. They told us there was nothing they could do because my laptop was registered in Canada and I was in Thailand. I told them I was permantly moved to thailand that that I'd like to change my address. They told me to phone IBM support in China b...

After the run around by a couple people on the American Support line we managed to get the number for the thai IWS. We talked with them and they arranged the exchange to new working parts. Of course when we went to pick them up, they didn't have the proper ones in stock, but they were kind enough to...

I did find the number for Thailand IWS...so I will phone that today and see if they can help me.

I bought two t61p's for my business in preparation for taking myself on the road for 2 years. I live and work for my internet business with my colleague abroad. Currently we're in Thailand and plan to move to Czech Republic in the next while. We bought the accidental damage ThinkPlus 3 Year Onsite 9...

I run a nomadic web business myself. I've got 1 bag brimming with computers and electronics. The other is 100% clothes except for my Bose portable iPod speaker. I'm just waiting for the first security guy who stops me. I know it's bound to happen. So far, so good though. Knock on wood.

I just got it to work with another TV i had lying in this hotel. Inside remote desktop right now. BOOCHE.

Still looking for a VGA to VGA solution if something like that exists.

Thanks for all the tips people,

I got it working on a TV I have here, but it's like when you were a kid and trying to watch porn on Pay Per View with out paying. I can't make up the lame "You turned off windows improperly last time" NetVista boot menu's. Working on it....we'll see. VGA -> VGA cord from Desktop to my Laptop solutio...

Good link on the software round up. Not what I'm looking for, but much appreciated.

If i need to install something on the desktop computer first, this is no good to me....as I don't currently (nor will i have) a monitor for it.

The only reason I need this to work, is so i can get remote desktop to work from my laptop. I know how to do that.

good thread. good info. good links.

Thanks man.

XP Pro on my t61p. Some crazy thai pirated version of XP on the NetVista machine. Comments are encouraging. I'm going to try and find that t4x thread. Keep the info coming. BTW. I have a VGA to VGA cable which i hooked up to my "external monitor" port on my t61p and on the "external monitor" port on...

How do i use my t61p as a monitor for another computer. Is this even possible and if so....how? I'm in thailand and I bought a nice IBM Netvista for 2500 THB :D I don't have a monitor for it and my computer to TV connection failed on me. Trying to get remote desktop on this windows working so I can ...

twas the base cover. IBM wouldn't send me one that I could bring to the shop and have them install it. The shop wouldn't order me one with out charging me or holding my laptop. I ended up fixing it myself. It seems the drive latch got out of it's rail guides and i had to snap it back into place with...

Turbo memory is worthless, in my opinion. I would remove it until Vista SP1 fixes its problems, and even then I'd be sure to reasearch it before trying to using it again. Don't confuse Turbo memory with ReadyBoost, which uses flash memory to cache hard drive information. ReadyBoost may indeed speed...

i can't even get windows xp to detect it. If it worked as a flash drive, i'd be happy with that.

Appears only Vista supports Intel Turbo Memory. I bought my laptop with WinXP and the Turbo Memory. Can i use the turbo memory for anything? Or should i just take it out? If i could use it as normal flash memory that would be great. I could put my page file on it or allow photoshop to use it for it'...

that's what VOIP is great for

Thanks for all the info guys.

Thanks for the advice. That's what I asked them to do. I was willing to give them the serial number of my laptop and everything, but they still said they wouldn't do it with out holding my laptop. then they said they could do it, but would charge me for it. Shady. Can I complain to anyone about this...

I have the 3 year accidental damage warranty. I also bought the in-depot repair. After removing my DVD from my ultrabay i noticed that the little tab you use to pull it out will no longer go back "into" my laptop. it sticks out. I think the spring or something is broken. Will my warranty cover this ...

an extra hour would help me on long flights and such.

Anyone got any other cool ideas for accessories I can get. I got 7 days in hongkong and i'm doing nothing but gadget shopping.

I've got a t61p. I'm going to china in January and will be picking up all sorts of goodies for my laptop. The one i'm really looking forward to getting is an extra battery for the ultrabay. Can someone tell me how much extra battery life they get from this extra battery? I get about 3.5 - 4 hours wi...

Just got my new t61p a couple days ago. I love it. Spent the last 3 days configuring the system. I'm about to make an image of my masterpiece and would like it to be as small as possible. I removed, office 2007, norton (both trials) ...but i noticed this large package. There's a 500mb High Definitio...

Is it possible to attach a 3.5" hard drive natively to the IBM via SATA or e-SATA ? I don't mind getting a little dirty and playing with the connectors inside the multibay. I will be using photoshop mostly with my machine and want to get a 15,000 RPM drive. I got a firewire enclosure, but would pref...
