I upgraded my SXGA IPS screen to a UXGA IPS screen and was over the moon. The new screen cost me about £100 a few years back off eBay. Definitely worth it at that price!! Personally, I didn't find a huge amount - if any - difference in basic image quality between the two IPS screens (can't remember ...

Hi,

Does anyone know which FRUs denote X200 batteries with Panasonic cells please?

I think 42T4650 = Panasonic 9-cell? But are there others across the battery sizes (not getting much luck on searching)?

Many thanks.

That's a pity

Thanks for answering.

Whilst this is being discussed, I'm wondering if anyone could advise if it would be worth updating my T60 to the T7200? Main reason for considering is that I run Lightroom, Photoshop CS6, and Canon DPP a lot. Especially, I cannot run HD video (1080 30p) recorded on my Canon 7D on my T60. It stutters...

If you close the screen, you will most likely find that the round spot happens to coincide with the red Trackpoint on the keyboard. The round spot would be what we call a pressure point. This has nothing to do with the quality or inner workings of the LCD itself. No, doesn't line up. Nor is there a...

Hi, I have a new problem with my screen and wonder if anyone can advise please. About 15 months ago I bought one of these from cgsplcd on eBay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/HV150UX1-101-compatible-HV150UX1-100-13N7076-forT60-T42-/270787775797?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3f0c358d35 I'm not quite sure h...

Seller's name is stream_beautiful

Had it in for about six weeks now.

I bought an 42T0825 off a Chinese seller on eBay just recently. It was for my T60 and I connected just two antenna leads. Working perfectly at N speeds. Can now view HD material from my NAS over Wi-Fi, whereas before it was stuttering/freezing all the time.

Whilst it will be of little consolation to you, I bought a -101 panel from that buyer on eBay and it installed fine on my T60 (albeit annoyingly there was a single stuck-on white pixel - an exchange was offered but in the end I decided it was too much trouble to swap). Rocking screen if you want to ...

Also I might be interested after reading this excellent thread. As a ball-park figure, how much in UK pounds for the panel and shipping?

Thanks to the help and advice on this thread, I've just bought and received the Panasonic 9-cell battery from eBay (92P1133). It was listed as being off a faulty ThinkPad, and hence untested and sold as seen. So it was a bit of a gamble. After installing, my T60 reported it as being 3 years old with...

Thank you very much for the FRU numbers above.

I have a T60 with the 15 inch flexview screen (2007-FSG). Can anyone post the FRUs for the Panasonic batteries for the T60 please? BTW, I also have a T41. Thanks to this site, I became aware of how much better the Panasonic batteries are. Bought one to replace the Sanyo and it has continued to perfo...

A similar thing is happening to me too. I've tried installing/re-installing the driver. Rolling back on system restore. Rolling back to SP2. But still no luck. Strangely, my wife's T41 is affected (Intel 802.11b only card) but my own T41 (Philips 802.11b/g card) has not been affected. I don't have a...

Firstly, many thanks to underclocker for a great thread. Hope is restored in the long-term use of my T41 ! I have a couple of questions if anyone can help: 1. Will this fix also solve the USB 2.0 speed problem ? My T41 will only run the ports at 1.1 speed. Did the R50/51 board suffer similar issues ...

Thanks everyone for the replies. It's really helpful and informative. I'm absorbing the info and trying to make my mind up what to do. I saw Techstore were advertising some too, and will come back and post if I see any others. At the risk of getting a slap by asking again just to make sure :) , woul...

Hi, I read through the sticky at the top, but I'm still a bit confused. Do all 15 inch T60 ThinkPads (4:3) have the Flexview screen, or was it an option ? A used model I'm considering has the part code 2007-FVG. Does the FV indicate for sure that it has a Flexview screen ? What's a ball-park cost fo...

I absolutely adore my T41, but it's time to move on because the GPU and slow USB ports problems are proving over-whelming. Which of the ThinkPads should I upgrade to ? Key things I like about my T41: Thin and lightweight Great keyboard and useability (e.g. love the light for the keyboard !) Long bat...

I've found that using some coins works much better than Post-it notes or business cards. With paper the fix didn't last for that long and I'd have to add more. But with a couple of UK £2 coins it has been much more stable.

Paper solution is cheaper though

Many thanks for your reply and help.

If I clone the hard drive from my 1st T41 and use it in the 2nd T41, then will I run into Windows XP licensing issues ? Or is there a way to re-register with the 2nd T41's Windows key ?

I have bought a used T41 off eBay which doesn’t have a hard-drive nor any recovery CDs (auction did explain this). It’s also out of warranty. Can anyone help me with some questions please: 1. I’ll ask a stupid question first. I already own a second fully working T41. Can I temporarily swap the hard ...
