Re: ThinkPad W500 Blu-ray drive
Ok, so it looks like I'll make a trip to eBay. I'm afraid I would pick the wrong size "something" if I tried to go for a different brand. But it looks like I can use the slim or enhanced for ultrabay... so maybe I won't mess that up

Re: BIOS problem?
Similar thing happened to me on my P51s this last week. I was trying to transfer my music (iTunes) from my W510 to my newer P51s. It got way complicated (mostly because the entire procedure was over my head, and google was not helping.) I was in the process of trying to change the user name on the P...

Re: ThinkPad W500 Blu-ray drive
I know I am pulling up an old post, but I'm also looking for a Serial Ultrabay Slim blu ray drive for my W510.
I'm not even sure there is a blue ray for my machine.

Re: The Best Most Compatable internal AC Wifi chip/card and external AC Wifi for Lenovo W520
I have a W510 with the with the 6300; my son has a W520 with a 6205; and other son has a W530 with a 6300. All three machines work great on our home wifi. I don't have a clue what the best upgrade would be. Looks to me you have posted your question in the wrong sub-forum, i.e. Thinkpad X6x Series. T...

Re: From T410 To X230
Happy Birthday (on the 20th)
I'm betting you will like the size of the X230 and also will not notice an appreciable difference in the i5 vs. i7.
Post back when you get your new machine.

Re: T530: Sudden slow WiFi
Guessing you may have already tried this...
Uninstall the adapter driver in Device Manager -- reboot and then scan for new hardware in Device Manager.
After adapter is reinstalled, see if wireless speeds improve.

Very pleasant transaction with db999md for an excellent X1 Carbon -- easy communication and super-quick ship, with the X1 arriving at my home safe and sound, wrapped like a baby in its cardboard cradle. Thanks very much for a perfect transaction

Thanks very mcuh Sleepy664! That's the info I wanted to make sure of -- I didn't want to order and find out I'd misunderstood what I needed. I think my son might like glossy, but not sure if I can find one.

I ordered from laptopscreens.com, and when I changed the screen, the back tags on the new and old both appeared to be the same LG brand. I plan on using this W510 for netflix and amazon instant videos. One more learning step for this ...
