Would the recovery CD's for an X31 work? I've got the full set and could burn them for you. I would just ask for shipping costs from Calgary, Alberta. I used them on mine and it installed everything, but I couldn't get it to create and install a new hidden partition with the backup. I'm sure there i...

Hi there,

Thanks for the reply. I actually made a mistake. It's a T61 not a T60 and I believe it's a SATA drive.

Thanks
James

I'm looking for a HD caddy to fit on my 14' T60. I believe this caddy fits where the DVD drive sits.

If you have one, please let me know the price, including shipping to Calgary, Alberta, Canada.

Thanks
James

Look for a 2200bg and a set of R&R discs on Marketplace. This makes sure all the X31 particular drivers are included. I just got a message from a member who is going to send out the correct R&R disks for the X31. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that putting it back to factory specs will solve the is...

Can you take a look if your neighbor is using the same channel? Assuming you haven't done big download on Linux. Worst case is somebody brought up an 11n AP and use the 40Mhz bandwidth. Each channel is only 5.5Mhz separation. So an 11n 40Mhz bandwidth set at channel 6 can span from channel 3 to cha...

If it works on Linux, then it had to be software. Have you set the WiFi card power control to maximum performance? Yes, I do have it set to maximum performance. It's weird....I just surfed the net for the past hour on the machine with no issues at all.....but as soon as I start to use lots of bandw...

The install utility is in the intel WiFi package. After you expand it into the c:\driver\win\.. directory, it should be in one of the sub-directories. Read and follow the text file on the driver webpage for detailed installation instructions. Are you using mixed b+g? If so, what are the encryption ...

You can find these files at the Lenovo website support download area. A bit of navigating but you should be able to find them. I installed the Intel Chipset Utility and that didn't seem to help. I couldn't find the Intel Setup Utility anywhere in the Lenovo website. I'm about to give up on this thi...

After the fresh WinXP install, did you install the intel chipset inf files? Is this an intel WiFi card? If so, did you install the setup utility for intel cards? Hey there, The card is the Intel 2100 3B card (I verified this by running PC Wizard after the fresh XP install). After the fresh install,...

Are there any 2.4Ghz device between the computer and the AP such as cordless phones? Can you see any neighbor AP set to the same channel? THanks for the reply. I don't have any cordless phones in the house. I have 2 other Thinkpads (T61 and an X60) that can hold a connection to this same router for...

Did you figure out a solution to this problem? After a fresh Windows XP install (not using the R&R disks) my X31 with 21003b card is doing the same thing. It can't hold a connection for more than a few minutes and drops out if I'm downloading a large file. If you could please post your solution, tha...

I still can't seem to get this wireless going. I installed the latest driver from the Lenovo webiste. The wireless seems to be ok when I'm browsing the internet and only cuts out every 5 mins or so. However, whenever I start downloading a big file, it cuts out every few seconds. It took me 30 mins t...

If it is one of the intel versions, you need to run the install utility too. Which install utility do I need to run? Currently, when I run the device manager, it shows "Intel PRO/Wireless Lan 2100 3B mini PCI Adaptor". Do I need to download something from the Intel website? I just assumed the Think...

Hi everyone, I have an X31 and the wireless was working fine with the original windows XP installed. I then installed Linux Mint and the wireless was also working perfectly. I re-installed XP Pro with a fresh install from an OEM XP disk (I deleted the hidden partition and don't have the rescue/recov...

Hi everyone, I'm donating my X31 to a single mother as she's taking some university night classes to further her education. A laptop that can run MS Office is required, and she can't afford to buy a new one. I've upgraded the ram to 1gig, battery gives 1.5 hrs and the HD is the stock 20 gig unit. It...

Thanks for the reply Soujourner. You were bang on......I turned off the critical warnings in Windows XP and let the battery run down, and I was able to get another 30 mins out of it once it had hit "0% remaining". There must be something wrong with one or two of the cells (since it's roughly chargin...

I have an X31 and want to know if it's possible to make a set of resuce/restore cds? I wanted to do a full install of ubuntu, but wanted to be able to switch back to Windows XP in the future. If not, is there a way to do a full install of Ubuntu (not the dual boot) but still keep the hidden partitio...

I've read on various websites about the X31 fan not running with Ubuntu. Does anyone have a link to a tutorial on how to install the fan control software? I'm new to Linux so if someone has a link to step by step instructions that would be great. Also, is there a utility that can tell me how hot the...

I found this quite interesting.... I bought a used X31 today for $100. When I load up Windows XP and check the battery health, it's "yellow" with 289 cycles. I did 4 cycles today and got about 45 mins from the battery before windows shut down on me. I then installed Ubuntu (dual boot) and ran the ba...

I'll list out in point form what's happening an the actions I've taken in an attempt to make this clear and concise: 1) I have a T61 and I've noticed that Firefox starts freezing when I start opening up 3 or 4 windows at once. I've never had a problem doing this in the past. 2) When it freezes, the ...

I have one I can sell you. I can't seem to send you a message.

Feel free to PM me and we can talk about it.

Hello there, If I order the Lenovo Ultrabay HD Caddy Part#40Y8725 for my T61, do I need to order any other parts to make an off the shelf 2.5' HD fit inside the caddy? Does it require the drive to have any proprietary parts to make it fit properly? I recall reading that some drives were flopping aro...

Groovy. I ordered a caddy thing and a HD today! Do you have to order a specific Lenovo Hd to fit in the caddy, or can you pop any 2.5' drive in there and have it fit? I recall reading that some members found non-lenovo drives to flop around when they were in the caddy and had to tape them in. I wan...

I'm looking for the Hard Drive bay adapter for my T61 and T60. If you have one that you are looking to sell, I'm interested. I would like to buy one that is in excellent working condition, and need it to work with my aftermarket 2.5' hard drive. If I need another part to make it fit (I've read I mig...

Thanks! I just regained 21Gb


R,

Where do you find the "advanced" choice?

I can't see any advanced tab anywhere on the options menu.

Thanks
James

just sent you a PM

I've got an Ultrabase that came with my X60 Tablet computer. The base was rarely used and is in mint shape. All I have is the base itself.....so there are no keys, power adaptors etc that come with it. I would like to trade it for an external or laptop hardrive, or perhaps a wireless router than can...

I've also got a 4:3 T60 15' with the fingerprint reader and have some flex in that area. Not a tremendous amount, but enough that I can feel it when I push down on it.

FWIW, my T61 14' has a some flex in the palm rest area as well.

Thanks for the replies. I just right clicked on "my computer" and did the disk management setting....and here is the breakdown: C: 142.34 gigs SERVICEV001 6.69 gigs So the total is 149.05 gigs which seems about right. So from the looks of things, Ubuntu looks like it's gone from the HD and there are...

I've got a T61 with the 160 gig hd. I've never really payed much attention to "available" space etc. Today I installed Ubuntu and allocated it 15gigs. I didn't like the way it was working. so I just did a "Rescue and Recovery" and went back to a backup I had made this morning. The Rescue and Recover...
