davidhbrown, Thanks for replying. The delay isn't caused by the extended memory test, It's prior to the load of the bios. The delay doesn't happen if either of the kits are installed alone. The usual delay was about 5 to 10 seconds and now it's 20 to 25 seconds. I'm not sure if this delay is conside...

Thanks for replying.

This delay is before the BIOS post screen starts. Extended memory test is turned off.

I've installed 8GB Kit (4GBx2) of ram ( CT1194150 ) into a Thinkpad W510 laptop. I now get a delay (black screen) of 20 seconds before the Bios post screen appears. The laptop has the original Samsung 8GB kit installed as well. Here are some screen shots from CPUz for more details. Any help is appre...

1. Gobi 2000: both 3G and GPS on this laptop are problematic and Lenovo don't care. 2. Flexy keyboard. 3. FHD Display: I am a graphic designer and I understand that this is a wide gamut screen, but don't expect good results when surfing the internet. If you insist on getting FHD for the resolution t...

Do all W510s hiss, regardless of processor? I wish I could know the percentage of happy W510 users. Not so happy about many things in W510 but I'm using it like 12 hours a day and overall it's good. Does the hissing occur whether plugged into A/C power or not? Only when it's on Battery or running o...

@Harryc Thank you :) Yup would tend to agree - we can fix this for you and if you're interested could you PM me or better email me on nick@reflowrepairs.com and I'll get a quote back to you. I've checked the prices on the page that Harryc and I'm not sure if these Thinkpad worth it :| . I have T43 1...

Hi, I've searched the forum but couldn't find the same exact issue. I have 2 T43 machines with this same problem. The laptop hangs on the post screen unless I tilt it to the back (Put something underneath it from the Thinkpad's logo side where the HD is. Both the Hard disk and the DVD drives where t...

Hi, My brother is leaving the United States on Nov 11 so I thought that it would be great if he can carry a Thinkpad for me with him. I ordered it on Oct 15 . However, after reading both your posts and Lenovo's forum ones, I started to beleive that I'll never receive my Thinkpad before he leaves :( ...

Thanks and sorry for the duplicated question.

Hi, I recently ordered a W510 configured system and already faced too many problems ordering it. First, they've charged my credit twice so I had to call them and remove the second order but turned out they've deleted the wrong order and the one left was only pending and has been removed with the end...

Thanks everyone for the useful info I really appreciate every reply. So ... I wonder where I get a spare caddy and 4 screws? They don't come from the third party HDD vendors.... You can easily get one from ebay or even from the advertised shop on thinkpads.com, newmodeus.com (If you don't like/ trus...

Hi everyone, Sorry if this question has been answered before. I'm buying an original 41U3148 HD caddy and would like to know if I need to buy any other accessory in order to install my HD into it. I've noticed that there is something like an internal caddy attached to the HD in the following picture...

Thanks ajkula66. MHV2120AH is not easily found for less than $80 shipped in the US at this point. If anyone finds a less expensive source please post it. Thank you for replying Harryc. Actually that's what I've paid for it, $90 for MHV2100AH including UPS shipping... But unfortunately the seller was...

Again, thank you for replying.

Any idea where I can get one of these harddrives (if it's allowed to do so).

Thanks

Thank you for replying. Any Idea what HD I should get? Also, I'm not very comfortable with the website's return procedures. Can I post their reply here?
