At least SOME R-31's came with built in WiFi

My problem is different.. need new mother board

HELP!!!!!!!

Cancel that.. IT appears I have found a refurburished board.. Will know more in a week when I check my mail box.

No signal at all most of the time, none here. And the leads are indeed connected, I checked that straight off... Will continue to work with it

I'll try for the support manual

While traveling I had to replace the backlight on my R-31 (or rather had it replaced by a tecnician) Either he, or I (in the removal process) messed up the Wi-Fi antennas it appears. Any hope other than an external Wi-Fi adapter? (which I happen to have a spare lying about but would prefer not to us...

1: Bios updated DO have to be done from the floppy on the 600E

2: My 600e, after update, supported an 80 gig drive no problem

Most laptop drives, assuming they physically fit, will work

For my desktop I have Intel's system monitor program.

It shows temperture at a number of points,fan speed, voltages, and more

Is there a program that will do at least part of this for a Thinkpad R-31 running eXtrp Painful (XP)?

My guess... He typoed the speed.

You should call it to his attention though

The drive I had in the 600 was a "Generic" (Toshiba in fact) which did not exactly match the original in regard to the benzel It did, however, exactly match the r-31's original So the problem is the 600's will stick out a bit if it's OEM I don't know if you can dremel it down or not... I do have one...

Hello. Thankyou for your help. :D Hmmm that sucks that the 600E drive will not fit. Actually, The drive, itself will fit, it's the drive adapter that does not fit If you have a deffective R-31 drive you can transfer the rails from it to the drive from the 600E The only differnece in the drives them...

As the other poster said, the 600E is usb 1.0 Why not use a Cardbuss card, they work just fine, I have a Netgear plugged into this unit, I've also used a D-link, (had some problems with it which I now believe may have been 1-D-10-T error (stupid user error) and will re-check soon as I re-find the ca...

Used to have the same problem, Computer worked fine but there was that annoying yellow circle with exclamation mark As someone else said APM2APM.reg patched the registery (what it does) and fixed the problem.. Yellow circles all gone now if you do not have the disk ask, I'm sure someone will provide...

This computer has win-98 on it but I think I've seen "network cable disconnected" on some Xp laptops I've played with when the network card had not connected to a host. Do you get the airlink or netgear (Depending on which card you are using) icon in the system tray? You may simply need to remind it...

A good question here is why disable the crystal audio and use USB. Crystal audio is listed as among the best, short of some very expensive professional equipment.

Unless you need something special like S/Pdif in/out or something which the thinkpad does not offer

There are multiple passwords, One (Actually more) are in BIOS, this includes the power up password, which is the one you reset by the shorting connections trick (and I'm not sure that those are the right connections,you may have done nothing but kill the battery) There are passwords for power on, ad...

I just have one thing to add to this... Some times ago Bill suggested Acronis True Image to me for backing up a hard drive that was giving me serious warnings... I used it It has saved my bacon many times since After I did the backup the drive did, indeed, fail. I popped in a new drive (I have a 600...

Thanks, nice to know it can do if It must. I may have to buy an XP upggrade for another computer soon (mini-tower) that one I know has the bearings to run xp (Anthlon 1gig) I really need to be able to use a computer as a gateway to the net, XP lets me do that easy, I've not yet figured it out on thi...

If someone tells you it's a 16 bit PCMCIA Cardbuss slot they are talking through thier hat. PCMCIA slots can be 16/32 or I suspect (But can not confirm) 64 bits CARDBUSS is 32 bit, always 32 bit, never 16 (Again I don't know if 64 is possble) You can use a PCMCIA 16 bit card in a 32 bit Cardbuss slo...

If your system is running windows 9x there is a hidden file in C:/ This file is called MSDOS.SYS if memory serves (and it does I just checked) Under [Options] add the second 3rd line below (BootMenu=1) [Options] BootMulti=1 BootMenu=1 BootGUI=1 You will, of course, have to unhide and un/system it (U...

How well does a 600E (mine is a 2645-8au) run XP? Seems to me a 366Mhz p2 is a bit lame for XP, but then what do I know.

I've 98se in it now

Don't know about the 45au but on the 8au the memory cover is on the bottom, not the back

Ok, here is the problem Computer 600E (2645-8au) OS Win-98se "Dock" Select-a-base" with the optional PCMCIA card expansion (Slots 2 and 3 on the item list, zero and one being internal to the thinkpad Issue, for many moons it's worked fine, I had my network in one or the other of the expansion slots....

From the key markings it is apparent that the key combo for num-lock is Function-Num Lock/ScrlLk However it's wrong.. The correct combo is SHIFT, not Function On my 660e at least Also on my 600E it defaults to num lock off unless I plug in an external keyboard or keypad (i ahve both) in wihch case i...

I have to remove and re-install my memory boards from time to time as well, 600e 2645-8AU

The only thing I'd suggest is to visit www.ibm.com and download all the proper drivers (if you have not already done so) The THINKPAD 600 line has some really neat features. I had to download a number of drivers though, audio, video, modem, USB and others... one interesting "Driver" is the log on pe...

I used dollar store specials to get the screw off my Memory Lid,,, This afternoon in fact.... I do admit it was a "Precision" type set As for the CD-ROM caddy someone else mentioned... I got mine off using the same set of screwdrivers, a lot of pressure and a good pair of pliers (Vice grips would ha...

Thanks James... THat looks just like the caddy from my 600E In the case of the 600 E the drive plugs direct to the computer, there is no "plug" in the caddy, the caddy is a shell that surrounds the drive and centers it in the opening so the plug lines up properly... Even the screw that secures the d...

I'm not familure with the 770 series, where does the HD plug in,,,, Under KB or in front or somewhere else? Describe or e-mail me a small photo (lo rez works here) Once I know how the 770 packages it's drive I can comment Who knows... I might have a spare in my basement and if that's the case, Well,...

For IBM 600X (500Mhz) without a DVD Drive: a) Can external USB-DVD be used to watch DVD movies. b) Can 10/100 network be used to watch DVD movies. Regards, User496 I keep hearing how you need USB 2.0 to watch video on a laptop. I know, from expierence, that's ferterlizer 1.1 does the job just fine ...

First: I had a recent backup (this comes in as the last step) FIrst I did the physical instalation Then I popped in the Win-98se Emergency Boot Disk (EBD) Booted w/o CD support (Faster and I did not need it) Next I ran the program FDISK which is included on the EBD I told it to use the maximum amoun...

Does any software come with the drive? It says "With Power DVD and NERO" however no software was included in the package, it is possible the software will be shipped under seperate coveer but I'm not holding my breath, I will write the company I also have Power DVD already installed on the computer...

I just ordered one of those drives, I had one and only one problem and that was getting those tiny screws out that hold the rails on the old drive (which was startign to become a bit flakey) on my Thinkpad (The old drive was cd-read only) Seems IBM locktighted those screws... but I got them out, put...
