hello and welcome to the forum.. a place where help resides even if out of warranty.. :) SO, which is it..? SSD or HDD.. i.e. rotating storage or solid state storage..? and exactly which model of thinkpad..? what is the machine model and type number.. it would also help to know the manufacture date..

oh well..
so this forum member is remarking an a really old thread..
lets see if others have more to contribute..

just asking.. what is the manufacture date..? 1993,4,5..? what is the machine model/type number..? the voltage should be indicated on the bottom, what is it..? it MIGHT be a contemporary of the 701 series if it has a barrel type power connector.. i have several ac adapters from that time period.. 1...

it MIGHT be a contemporary of the 701 series if it has a barrel type power connector..
i have several ac adapters from that time period..

the 240 was a dandy little thinkpad..
i have one in my archives of old thinkpads..
great keyboard..
never found an affordable 240Z to play with though i did look for one..

AND, surprise for myself, there on top of the 240 was a pristine PCMCIA cover for a thinkpad 701C..! very rare..

hello and welcome to the forum..

wish i had the $$ to buy it BUT you might have some difficulty selling it since you're in HK..
and you might need to use a middleman..

hello and welcome to the forum.. i looked at the ebay link and the 2nd HDD adapter sure LOOKS right but since there is no label it is hard to say what exactly it is.. or who made it.. my suggestion is to send it back and find a used one here on the forum in the marketplace.. or ebay if it is an OEM ...

hello and welcome to the forum.. just guessing here (my X1 carbon gen3 is the newest thinkpad i have) but sleep mode should not cause any issue.. did the battery go flat..? did your thinkpad suffer any other trauma during your 'move'..? otherwise, a new keyboard is not expensive.. even in romania i ...

box and battery all look legit.. is there a toll free lenovo number for spain..? if amazon sold it, amazon will take it back, i believe.. it also should be under lenovo warranty.. 1 or 3 years.. i think.. for USA: https://support.lenovo.com/us/en/ just go to lenovo.com and look for a support tab or ...

hello david..

heh, an interesting issue..
did you say which thinkpad we are talking about..?

and if it IS a lenovo branded battery then it has a lenovo warranty and you should have no problem calling lenovo and initiating some sort of warranty claim..

hello and welcome to the forum.. :) you must be VERY CAREFUL when buying a thinkpad (and maybe any other laptop brand battery) from amazon.. there are many choices and most ALL of them LOOK like the OEM thinkpad battery but they are not.. you need to read the amazon sellers info VERY carefully.. if ...

hello and welcome to the forum.. and YES, Thinkpad4by3 is correct.. i sold an excellent example of an 860 power PC without a HDD for about $500 or $600 a few years ago.. mine had the camera option on the top cover.. one of yours has the SCSI HDD and the unix OS.. so while it gains there and might lo...

thanks..
not many recall the thinkpad compuserve forum and jaren levitt..
or the more-than-a-few follow-on forums i have maintained since then..

i have been trying to generate some interest in the blog but getting others to write is not easy..

saying "no rush" is like saying "see you in september".. :) between ray and I (assuming i can find CD 1 of 4 of the august version) we can put something together.. sometimes it is easier to just make duplicates and mail them.. mail to the UK is trivial.. and, since mine are for machine type 2672 and...

hello and welcome to the forum.. i seem to have TWO sets of X331 recovery CD's BUT... set #1 is a 3 CD set dated march 2003, set #2 is a 4 CD set dated Aug. 2003 but seems to be missing CD no. 1 which must be here SOMEPLACE.. easy enough to create .iso's but uploading is a PITA given the file size.....

heh..
that i used for a long time but is now retired..? an X60p UXGA.. bought new in about 2004 more or less..

first, welcome to the forum.. :) next, new or used..? i don't think there are many new thinkpads for $400 more or less.. BUT there are a bunch of $400 used thinkpads.. for me i would find a good used X1 carbon.. and i would avoid the gen 2 with the crappy keyboard.. otherwise roam our marketplace an...

hello majkey..

welcome to the forum..
and to thinkpads.com

nice tale of discovery you are sharing..

i'm too old and out of the mainstream to advise on upgrading any further but don't hesitate to continue to tell us what further enhancements you make..

hello and welcome to the forum..

this issue SOUNDS LIKE the same issue i have/had with one of two T61p WUXGA thinkpads..
i don't recall the exact issue but you might need a new system board..
don't go buying one on just my word, wait for a few more opinions..

ok, memory appears to be OK..

floppy appears to be OK..

perhaps it wants to update from the existing bios rev level to the NEXT and not jump several rev levels..?
thats the next possible issue..

that 390X is a seriously old model of thinkpad.. and adding more memory IS a compelling reason to update the BIOS.. i have not tried updating the BIOS on any of my antique thinkpads.. forum member hwattys and a few others might be able to add something here BUT the last few times i updated a BIOS wa...

hello..
it occurs to me to ask why update the BIOS anyway..?
as long as your thinkpad is working well..
is there some other compelling reason..?

meanwhile welcome to the forum..

2.5" SCSI HDDs should have the same pin header / it's what they plug into with special caddies that makes them unique. i still have a few of those 750/755 series caddys and they are NOT the same as those for the SCSI drives in the power PC 850 series.. SCSI drives have had a wider header on the dri...

sorry i missed this 'till now.. but that was then and this is now.. i use DELL 2001FP and other similar models now only in my security system.. then, in about 2002 i used a big wide bezel DELL 20 inch, the exact model # i have forgotten.. just two connected with 9 pin VESA connections.. to an mini-d...

well, WAIT..!
that he 701C had mwave was advertised in the song and dance presentation.. i am sure of it.. it HAS been a generation but my static memory should still be good..

daisy chaining is not exactly the correct term.. multiple monitors would be more exact IMO which is what i did with the T40 series experiment years ago and at that time i used DELL displays..

the original poster does not seem to be interested in replying..

about 15 years ago i used a mini-dock on a T40 series thinkpad and connected two displays.. one to the dock and one to the thinkpad.. they both worked and if my memory is correct each could show a different window.. someplace in a few TB of disk i have a picture.. not sure how i would find it though...
