Re: T42p GPU Thermal Compound
Thanks for all the reading tips. I cleaned off all the black gunk from the GPU and under the heat sink. When I dry fit the fan back onto the MB, it fits snugly over the GPU. There's a copper shim that fills the gap so it doesn't look like there is any room for a 2mm thermal pad, or even a 1mm. Is th...

T42p GPU Thermal Compound
I've just completed a GPU reflow on a T42p and noticed that the long fan covering the GPU has some hardened black material unlike the white thermal grease used on the CPU. Can anyone identify it or suggest a suitable replacement so that it can be reassembled?

R52 Powers up only with battery
It works fine otherwise. I've bypassed the rear power jack using a port replicator and swapped AC adapters - same problem. No charging lights appear when either jack is used.
While searching the forum, I've found similar problems on other models, but no real solutions. Any ideas?

Re: GUIDE: Reflow GPU fix - 56K WARNING!!!
I've just joined this very interesting thread. I have an assortment of T40 -T42 with classic GPU symptoms. Fortunately, my employer has a professional BGA rework station and a trained tech to operate. I would like to know if all Thinkpad T40-T43 with ATI GPU's use lead-free solder and what temperatu...

WTB or trade: R40 XPP restore disks.
Have A31, T43/R52 and T42/R51 if you'd like to swap.

X20 doesn't power up - maybe?
I bought a X20 off a guy who said his HD died. He said the drive was making knocking sounds before it died altogether. So I assumed all this machine needed was a new HD. Before installing the replacement drive, I attempted to power up and inspect the BIOS settings. All the indicators light for a few...

FYI: All of the "p" models use the same disks as the original series, for which ever model you are looking for. (ie. T40/T40p, T41/T41p, etc... Do you know whether that applies for A31/A31p? The factory preload for A31p has additional aps to handle video capture which don't appear in the A31 versio...
