So it's down to just finding a passive CF/PCMCIA adapter.

a WHAT..?

i see i've been here before.. NOTE:it is way past my bedtime so i'll be terse/brief.. the 755 hard drives were in a difficult to open caddy.. the pluig you see is not the HDD's.. i made up, 20+ years ago an adapter of some sort using the plug you can see.. i forgot what i made it for, maybe to inter...

YES, please edit your post so these images are links..
some forum members use cellphones..
please do it right away..

hello brett.. again, welcome to the forum.. and its sad about your sister.. your R40 is quite an old thinkpad.. there might be a video out socket on that thinkpad SO, if you need to bypass the thinkpad display you should be able to connect it to an external display and thus gain access to whatever i...

hello.. first, welcome to the forum.. next, that T30, if it is a working T30 has more value than other legacy thinkpads.. they were used by Daimler Benz with their service system.. AND, i have seen HDD's disappear from the bios etc usually due to a bad HDD.. your T30 might be defective, now.. thinki...

first off, you lied about your location.. your IP shows hanoi, vietnam.. NOT new york, so many spammers use new york.. next your english usage is pretty poor.. AND, finally, your email address is in a database we keep of spammers... but i'm leaving your post in the slim chance you're NOT here for sp...

hello and welcome to the forum.. your idea is quite interesting.. just off the top of my head, without the schematics and some pretty good skills using a 701 battery or any original battery would be pretty tricky.. i think it might be a better idea to use one of the many Li battery packs inside the ...

just to let others know i have a box of about 5 or 6 755 series thinkpads..
i also have a pristine and very rare 755CDV..
if any interest in buying some or all, let me know..

hello puppy.. are you still a leftist..? :) over here, in the USA, we are under attack (invasion) by thousands of migrants seeking asylum from their home country.. when i first viewed some TV footage i concluded it was merely an invasion by job seekers and some others seeking "the American Dream" th...

hello carbon.. :) welcome to the forum.. for ME, if i were to order a new X1 i would go full bore, highest spec.. without roaming the lenovo web site, if it were me i would get the 4G, highest spec display (oled and touch if possible together).. remember under win10 you can change the display from t...

hello and welcome to the forum..
i have a gen 2 X1 and my best guess is hardware..
or, if it has been exposed to dirt, maybe a bad "ribbon"connector..

hello and welcome to the forum.. some T61's had a graphic chip issue which would show up after some years.. i believe it was an issue involving soldering the graphics chip to the system board.. i am embarassed to say i don't remember which models had that problem, but thinking as i am typing it come...

just a quick few comments.. first, if you are in romania as you said when registering and not in taiwan as the IP you're logging in from, then a new or used thinkpad might be more expensive.. if in taiwan there might be more opportunity for some price favorability.. for ME, i simply love the X1.. av...

OK, I don't think that worked out so well in Minnesota for Justine Damond. It seems like many law enforcement personnel are too incompetent to own weapons also. One can always find stories with an outcome that supports their point of view. As for the cops, they are no better or worse than the rest ...

one can only wonder WHY the 'LEFT' is so hell bent on taking weapons from the people.. i am not that 'one', i KNOW why.. so did the writers of the bill of rights.. there is a cost to liberty, the misuse of weapons is one of those costs.. Please recall: The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time...

just presented here without comment.. :) By Associated Press October 29, 2018 (BIRMINGHAM, Ala.) — A McDonald’s customer is being called a hero after he shot and killed a masked gunman who opened fire inside one of the fast-food chain’s restaurants in Alabama. The shootout happened at a McDonald’s i...

Islamism, an ideology created in response to the total domination of the Islamic world by the West, has managed to attack the foundation of Western society through terrorism. Not by any stretch of imagination. The Islamist ideology is as old as Q'ran which very clearly defines the required behaviou...

Free speech is free speech, but lest not forget the many lives that were lost along the way to getting free speech eh? And as for the Muslims, if they do not like "Free speech", then they should stay within the bounds of their own country where they do not have to "Worry" about such a thing. Just s...

My rarely used T400(the 8 battery heavy one) has probably display cable problems.Do all T400 have the same display cable ...or was it different for some... Type 2765 T6U p8600 :( I am currently using it by tilting the lcd by > 30 degrees down. hello ignorant, welcome to the forum.. i suggest you ta...

just dropping in here to fulminate about ONE of my most intense dislikes, it seems the muslims are now offended about the horrid issue of "free Speech" in the EU.. witness the recent ruling against free speech and the imposition of shariah as a guiding law.. i forgot the details but there you are, w...

hello and welcome to the forum..
and, yes, i think i have a T30 recovery CD set..
if you can not find this image, originals or copies anyplace else..
i'll make a copy, $10 for first CD and $5 for each additional CD, US postage included..
not sure if i have a set for the R32..

hello and welcome to the forum..
for some thinkpad parts use ebay OR alibaba..
or in a pinch while waiting try some tape.. masking, electrical or the like..

well, you guys let "them" in.. i must say we didn't let them in. this was fostered from way up. try noticing how hard you're being effed by the upper echelons/decision makers or organizing yourselves while working fulltime. it's impossible. and that's by design. you think people had a say in this? ...

ok, too effing many moving parts and posts and opinions and etc etc ad inf ad naus flowing to and fro here.. i am unaware of amazon partners and spamming.. and maybe someone is not who he seems.. SO, how ti tell spam from a good faith link..? someone please tell em so i can be better educated about ...

just saw this/these posts requesting iso's.. so i'm going to tell a story here.. sometime, many months or even a year or so, ago, i made iso's of, i think, S30 recovery CD's and bought, for $35 a sandisck 128gig thumb drive, MAILED it to japan to a fellow whose name i have forgotten at this moment, ...

well, wait a minute.. first, this guy seems to know his stuff about some glues and adhesives and so forth.. not that i did a lot of research but i use a lot of glue on plastics, wood, metal, etc... next, 3M 5200 'glue' is not exactly a glue as much as a sort of silicone sealant.. i have used a LOT o...

you can also look at the hardware maintenance manuals (HMM in the banner above) for beep codes and the like BUT this might be a fatal issue you are experiencing..

hello and welcome to the forum.. to be honest, i don't have an answer for that issue.. in the past bios updates were very tricky (can't think of a better word just now).. using a floppy and needing the thinkpad to be plugged into the AC adapter and have a full battery.. now..? things are a bit diffe...

hello and welcome to the forum..
