Hello, I have an IBM T-42 with the bottom case cracked near the IR port, and the wireless card slot. I was living with this crack for some time, but things are getting out of hand. A portion of the bottom case near the IR port is dangerously close to breaking off. I have the basic IBM EZ-SERV warran...

Does no one else have this problem ?

Hi all, My wireless works seamlessly and my only problem is that I cannot repair the connection or disable the wireless conxn at any time.I used to e able to do this before,but now-a-days,each time I right click on the wireless icon on the taskbar and say either repair or disable , I get this msg. "...

As I have said, I'm open to any offers that I get.I'm gonna wait for some more time here,and if I don't get anything done here,probably go to ebay.

Do PM me with any offers that you think may be right,

Thanks.

Any offers anyone ? I'm willing to let it go for less, do PM me any reasonable offers .

Thanks

what abt warranty ? and the other minor details ?

Hi fellow Think-padeans, Being a student has its limitations..and the major being money.So,I had to dig deep into the world of flea-bay :( and finally come up with my FIRST LAPTOP EVER,a T42 with the following config IBM Thinkpad Model T42 - Model 2378-R1U, Pentium M 725 1.6GHz, 768RAM, 40GB Hard Dr...

If you are really vigilant on eBay, you can surely find a better deal. I did, although I know that my case is exceptional. For $1,171USD, shipping & tax included, I got a brand new T40p: Intel Pentium-M 1.6GHz 512MB RAM 40GB 5400rpm HDD 14.1 SXGA+(1400x1050) TFT LCD 64MB ATI Fire GL 9000 16x10x24x/...

Yeah..It is on ebay...

Let us suppose this IS refurbished...does this still hold as a good deal ?

The answer depends on whether someone is offering that machine at that price and whether you have $1050 to pay that person. I would say that $1050 is not a bad price for that machine. It'll be more than fine for most business tasks. What I would advise is going to IBM's website and purchasing an upg...

And a Port replicator + a Laptop Bag The specs go on as : Processor: Pentium M 1.5 ghz with 1 mb level 2 cache Ram: 512 mb Screen/video: 14.1", 32 mb ATI Radeon 7500 Hard Drive: 30 gig Optical: ...

WANTED : An IBM T-41/T-42 ,preferably the 2378 models.

If not,anyone on the X31 ?

Please PM me/post in this forum

Thanks,

Thanks a lot for the info.Just some more trivial questions which all the experts here would know the answers to. 1.This guy I'm buying it from says it's a centrino.Do 1.5 Ghz T42's come with the Centrino technology ??? :? 2.My HDD is 40GB...is it easy to upgrade to,say,a 60 GB ? Can I do it myself ?...

Perhaps you'd be kind enough to let us know what you are smoking at the moment...(I'd like some too) To be honest I did once see a similar thing - but that was after my 2nd bottle of Talisker... _________________ ian at thinkpads dot com - 600e, T21 ,T42 (CWU 7K60 1Gb RAM SP2 etc.) -----------------...

THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH for replying. So,the general consensus is that 1.5 Ghz is more than enough,and there isn't that much a difference b/w the newer processor speeds. As for the warranty,I did think it was refurbished,but as James and lfeagan pointed out,the new systems also come with a one year wa...

thanks...that is heartening
anyone else used all the three configs (1.5,1.6,1.7 Ghz )to comment on the difference ?

but the processor speed ?
will it prove to be a lotta difference ?

This is the T-42 that my friend's friend is offering to sell.I've to tell him if I need it by the 22nd.I need help. :? The notebook is NIB,or so he says. I would like to tap the greater wisdom of this forum... Config : 1.5GHz, 512MB RAM, 40GB 5400rpm HDD, 15 XGA(1024x768) TFT LCD, 32MB ATI Radeon 75...
