Connecting T60 to TV

Hey everyone, I have a T60 notebook with only a VGA output to connect to a monitor. I was wondering if there was any way to connect this to a TV that does not have a VGA input. In other words, connect it to a Composite, S-video or Component video input. I searched around a bit for this same topic bu...

I believe the member in the following thread got his working by getting a replacement: Disappearing Wireless Adapter . Please contact IBM to get a replacement. I asked that member, and he said that when the problem appeared, he would hibernate the computer and then when he restarted, the adapter ca...

So, my wireless has started to work again.... I didn't really do anything. I just rebooted into Vista after removing the live ubuntu disk, and it started working again..... I honestly don't know what to say from this, but the only option that seems to make even a bit of sense would be a defective wi...

I'm currently running the live Ubuntu CD. I can see the wireless networks, though I can't connect to anything.... Keep in mind that when I first installed vista, everything worked fine. It was only after a while that this problem occurred. And every time I reinstalled vista, the wireless card worked...

Note- I'm not an expert computer person, so don't kill me if anything I say is wrong. I'm going by experience.... my T60 runs around at a really high temperature too. If I leave it on overnight on the carpet, that spot on the carpet is nicely ironed. I think it's normal, because everyone that I know...

I'm fairly certain it isn't a battery problem only because the wireless card is gone on both battery and AC power. Also, I personally changed those settings because the vista default for wireless is a bit strange. I'm going to try to get a new wireless card and see if that fixes the problem. I'll al...

yeah I did all that. I installed the drivers, and it worked fine for a while. So when the card failed, i tired reinstalling the drivers (including the whole running the .exe file after unpacking the file from the lenovo site). I'm fairly certain it isn't a driver problem only because I'm certain i i...

The idea that my wireless card itself is malfunctioning is plausible, but I have one problem with the idea. This whole problem only started after I installed vista (after having XP for over a year). Also, every time I reinstall vista, the problem goes away (temporarily). So my question is, do those ...

If you hit Fn-F5 is the wireless radio enabled? When I do Fn+F5, it doesn't show the card. All I see is the bluetooth device The card itself could be malfunctioning. Possible. Is there any way to test that? I have a 3 year warranty provided by my school (I bought it through school), so getting it r...

Wireless Card disappears

So I upgraded my T60 from XP to Vista. Everything was running fine until about 2 weeks into it, my computer stopped recognizing my wireless card. The card is no longer even in the device manager! As far as I know, I haven't specifically made any changes to it. I reinstalled Vista, and the problem go...
