integrated camera dead?

Hi, My x201t's integrated camera suddenly stopped working. In device manager it shows under USB controllers: "Unknown Device". On the properties for that item, it says "Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)". I tried uninstalling the driver, scanning for new HW,...

Re: factory fresh X201s is stealing the <Shift+Esc> keystroke

Here's a random suggestion: look at the bluetooth utility. Really. A few years ago I ran into a problem where hitting caps lock would pop up a little message on the bottom right of the screen (above the normal windows icons) which would STEAL THE FOCUS. [censored] me off to no end until I tracked it...

If you have a Clear account and are getting the splash page you should be able to click the "Existing Customer" link.

Re: adding an Intel 6250 to X201t?

Ok, the adventure continues! After lots of googling about the 6250, I realized that I was missing the "WIMAX Connection Utility" from Intel, which by screen shots seemed like it could check my HW and see if it was functioning. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling several versions of the drivers fro...

adding an Intel 6250 to X201t?

Hi,

I have an Intel 6300 in my X201t, and want to get WiMAX for Sprint.
Can I just buy replace it with a 6250 (FRU 60Y3195)?
Do I need any other parts (antennas?)?

Thanks!

Intel VT on T410s?

Hi, I'd like to get a T410s (with discrete NV graphics) that is capable of Intel VT. As far as I understand, not all Thinkpads have this enabled? And the only way to know if a thinkpad supports it is to get one that is labelled vPro? However, when selecting/configuring a T410s on the website, there'...

Ok, they replaced my motherboard yesterday and... it still blue-screens :(

So either the HW is randomly flawed and I'm 0/2, or the T60p's are systematically flawed.

At this point, I'm at a loss for what to do, other than return the laptop. Any ideas?

Thanks, but didn't work - booted windows.

The partition is still there (can see it in disk management), and I don't think I did anything evil to it. Though maybe client security does?

I'm at a loss :(
