Sorry, I probably should have explained it more clearly. I installed the turbo memory driver thinking that I had turbo memory in my Thinkpad. I don't have turbo memory in my Thinkpad.

Remove it and try booting again.

I've been having a string of bad luck with my laptops lately and my T61p is the latest victim. Put a fresh install of Win7 Ultimate on it, loaded all the typical Lenovo drivers and it was running great. I noticed that there was a single device driver with a question mark next to it. Thought it was m...

Would like to buy Win7 32bit recovery media, but open to other Win7 options.

Sending you PM re: PATA/IDE hard drive.

You can always change the language in a windows 7 ultimate/professional. And I have the documents/guide. Are you Korean? Hah....good guess...I'm sure my username didn't give it away at all. :D Unfortunately, I bring great shame to my family as I can't speak or read Korean....but I am fluent in Span...

Would have gone for it if it were in English. Thanks though.

Anyone else?

I'm upgrading my dad's original 80GB 5400RPM drive to a shiny new 500GB 7200RPM drive. Vista Business 32-bit recovery CDs would be great or an ISO that I can burn myself works too. Please let me know how much you'd like for either option. Thanks!

Machine Type 8891-CTO, came with XP Pro so that is what I'd like. But at this point, I'll take just about anything that'll load without problems. Thanks.

Could also be that the actual hinge is cracked. The right hinge of my T61 looks EXACTLY like yours. I knew before even opening up the bezel that the hinge was cracked because I heard a metallic snap the day the hinge ended up looking like yours. Opened the bezel tonight and sure enough....hinge is c...

Finally got around to resurrecting a dead T43p. Now I just need a set of recovery CDs.... Machine type/model is 2668-H5U. Thanks!

Sorry to hear about that. FYI, type 1871 is definitely a T43, I've owned a couple...something like 1951 is a T60. (It may be possible figure out the model number with just the serial number.) You are correct. I double checked on the Lenovo website with the serial # and the machine type/model is 195...

Hi all - My sister had her T60 stolen from her car at a gas station in Houston (the Sugarland area to be more specific) this afternoon. She's 95% sure that the machine type/model is 1871-43u. She's 100% about the serial number, which she had written down. I can post that if it's ok to do so. I know ...

Hi all -

I will fulfill all requests in the order received. Thanks for your help with recycling.

I'd rather not have to throw these things out and have them go into a landfill. Perhaps someone can find some use for these (shipping included in the prices): 1) ThinkPad 2nd Hard Drive Adapter for Ultrabay Slim (FRU 62P4553) - This adapter fits the T4x series and takes PATA drives only. $10 SOLD 2)...

Wow....it's kinda scary how fast you guys are.

These are the last two random laptop parts I have for sale (unless I find other parts hidden away in storage somewhere): 1) Fujitsu 5400RPM 40GB ATA/IDE hard drive - Drive has been wiped and formatted. $16 shipped [SOLD TO FORUM MEMBER] 2) Intel Pentium M 740 processor (1.73GHz) - No bent pins, good...

I'm trying to clear out some leftover parts after upgrading several laptops. Here they are: 1) Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG wireless card - [SOLD] $15 shipped This is a brand new card that was purchased to be installed in an older Compaq laptop that didn't have a wireless card. I didn't realize until a...

I'm assuming this a single, 2GB stick of DDR2 PC2-5300 memory? If this is correct, $30 shipped is going to be a difficult sell considering that you can get a brand new stick from Newegg for $21 shipped.

Bump.

After a couple of weeks of going back and forth about whether I want to sell this or not, I have finally given in--only because I otherwise will not be able to purchase my sister's T60 from her by December. How great it is to have a sister that thinks Thinkpads are ugly. The specs. for the T42p are ...

Ack. You're right--I forgot to mention that. Small thing, but makes a world of difference.

The replacement 5K160 80GB drive can go into your T42p with no probelms whatsoever. If you put the T42p drive into the T43 and get the 2010 error, like SteveS said you can get the HD firmware update utility from the Lenovo website here: http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyl...

Go ahead and download it--I did when it first came out and thought it worked great (I think there might have been a few TP users that had issues with 3.14). Even if you don't download System Update, you can always get the latest drivers by going to the Lenovo website, clicking on "Downloads & Driver...

I've been thinking about opening an account with an online brokerage forever now and have read more reviews than I can count. I would appreciate some input from those of you that have been through this and have opened an account. I've narrowed down my choices to Scottrade, Firstrade, and OptionsXpre...

if you don't get any other responses (or can't find a set otherwise) let me know....i might have a set somewhere.

Looking for a keyboard for a 14.1" T42 . All keys should be functioning and the lettering on the keys should be clear (not rubbed off in other words). A little shine on the keys is ok.

Thanks for all the advice. I did try everything recommended to no avail and finally resigned myself to purchasing a Netgear wireless USB stick--after all that I just assumed that my Thinkpad's wireless card wasn't compatible with the router for whatever reason. Well, I decided to try one last thing-...

A) At the dimension specified, 18x18x16 (be forwarned, if any side is even a 1/4" over, the next inch above is used for that side's dimension), acc to the FedEx rate finder and the UPS rate finder , the dimensional weight is being used. B) If the many boxes are going to the same destination, there ...

I just moved into a new place and am having issues connecting to the landlord's router from my laptop. I can see the network SSID and I get anywhere from 95-100% signal strength. When I try to connect to the network, it seems like a connection is established but it says "acquiring IP address" and ne...

The phone is a Samsung SGH-T809--loved it but it had the worst battery life I've ever seen on a cellphone. Ray: No, he didn't offer any proof/documentation. He said he would be happy with a new battery (even though I had sent him one with the original package). I didn't think a $5 battery was worth ...
