I just recently brought a motherboard on ebay for $20.00 plus free shipping for my ThinkPad T43 laptop with 15 inch display screen. The video chip (ATI X300) on the old motherboard gave me crazy color patterns. The seller offer 60 days money back guarantee if I pay the return shipping if I have any ...

I just brought an IBM ThinkPad T43 2686-M7U on ebay two weeks ago. I love this machine because I'd previously use IBM ThinkPad 600E for over three years. I've been an IBM ThinkPad user since 1999. My first ThinkPad is 760EL, the second one is 760XD (no I don't have the particular machine that flew i...

The memories I got have a label: SAMSUNG 151 M464S3323CN0-L1L and are made by 8 small chips per side (that makes 16 small chips per 256Mb memory) branded: SAMSUNG 151 K4S280832C-NL1L the same ones you told us in your post. The only difference is that the label in mines says "SAMSUNG 151" and yours ...

Yes, it works !!!! :D :D I bought another 2x256Mb memories in eBay (UK), just got them and it works ! my 600E now has 512Mb RAM (question, why the base 32Mb seems to have dissapeared when I installed the new ones?) Finally I have my 600E upgraded (I'll not do the step.... hardware upgrade) and I on...

Thanks again! :wink: I'll look for all of them and also for the search method you give to me.... I also sent question to the seller to be sure they are compatible with the 2645-550 model. And if they are, the budget (price) will be determining what and when I'll order them. fje Just ask them if the...

Keyhole, I tried the first time because they told me their memories were compatibles. The second time because they offered me interchange with new ones. I'll try now with the links you offer me (thanks for it!!!), but my question is: will the 2645-550 accept 256 MB memories? Because I have been tol...

I tried twice, the eBay vendor is a very good one and exchage me the first ones they sent, but same result. Now they are refunding me the full selling price... He tells me that my 600E model 2645-550 DOES NOT accept 256Mb memories, only 128 ones as maximum. But I feel to have read some one with the...

Keyhole, Here's a photo (cell phone) of the SODIMM. <snip> Hope this helps. TriAngle, that is why I don't use Crucial Memory because they they don't carry everything on their website and most older computers running the bus speed of 100MHz generally are picky because they will accept PC100 and not ...

If you brought a new or refilled battery for your IBM or Lenovo ThinkPads, there is an article (the link is at the bottom of the post) telling how to prolong li-on batteries so you don't have to keep wasting money on regularly replacements of brand new batteries especially the ones sits on some ware...

Joester joe have you try it? Keyhole Thank you for tell me the time your battery give you and for the site too. I will be around You're welcome. Another thing, I found an old posts on this forum pertaining to other ThinkPad owners who also brought batteries from Batteryrefill.com few years ago. Her...

Thanks Keyhole. Good solution. However, I use my CD/DVD quite a lot so would prefer to replace the 20GB HDD I have fitted in the machine. Will the 600 work ok with the 80GB installed as the primary disk? Will the 600 accept a 120GB HDD? The 80GB hard drive will work on your laptop but make sure you...

I have a Thinkpad 600 2645-450. Where can I find information on the largest compatible hdd this model will work with please? Get an IBM Thinkpad Ultraslim Bay 2nd HDD Adapter - 05K5338. It fits right where the CD/DVD optical drive is. I have two of them and I use one of them to backup my data on a ...

As my first post here, i'd like to say hello to everybody. This appears to be a great forum. I am new to windows my Specks: ThinkPad 600E 2658D Intel PentiumII 363MHz 288MB/RAM Questions: Ineed this machine mobile I purchase apparently new battery in eBay, apparrently because it shows 100% charge w...

@Keyhole : Welcome to thinkpads.com! (well, uncloaking at least :) ). I'm curious concerning how the Samsung modules are running in your 600E. All of the datasheets that I can find on that particular part number says that the refresh spec is 8K (for every 64mS). This means that a refresh cycle must...

Keyhole, Yes, homework is crucial. I only made that mistake once, but was able to resale the 256MB Samsung PC100 'high-density' SODIMM to a customer for what I paid for it. Never, ever, guess at RAM specs. It will always bite you in the bohunkus! My ThinkPad 770x uses PC66, it also runs PC100 and P...

fje, beecee, TriAngle That is why the no name, memory chips you guys brought on ebay doesn't work in your ThinkPad 600E laptop. Read my previous posts and click on the links . You guys didn't do your homework enough when comes to upgrade the memory for your laptop. You see I work on other people's c...

I'm apologize for the last statement about IBM ThinkPad laptops to me are durable, reliable, and work horses and are the Cadillac of all laptop computers. I meant was before Lenovo brought IBM ThinkPad name . Now regards to using Windows XP with paging disabled; it saves wear and tear on the compute...

rkawakami, I'd been using my ThinkPad 600E 2645-4AU about four (4) months now since I upgraded from 288MB to 544MB of memory (I have the laptop for over two (2) years running on maximum RAM (288MB). I should have known back then. Anyway, I right-click "My Computer" icon on the desktop and select "Pr...
