Re: FS: IBM Thinkpad X23 w/Japanese keyboard no batt $45 CAN + shipping (CAN and US only)

Wow! Hoarding comes to mind. That's why I buy now the 12.1" models, they're easier to store :D (just kidding) I have my TPs neatly stored in few cabinets, so they don't take THAT much of space, but now I need to be careful, the wife started complaining... Do you have the X230s or X240s (slim versio...

Re: Thinkpad 25: 6 months and a 6 cell battery later (PICS)

I use my T25 sparely, but few weeks ago Windows reported that my 61 battery (which was the original delivered battery) was dead and needed replacement. This surprised me a little, I have older batteries from the xx40 and xx50 generations and they still work. Luckily these are not difficult to source...

The T23 is used occasionally to remove SVP and CT, it has the 1.2 CPU, 1GB RAM, wifi and a de-rubberised lid.
Interesting... I also have a 2nd hand T23 but the lid looks still like new. Everything in this T23 shines, I'll keep that link handy in case my lid degrades in the future... :-)

Re: Thinkpad W520 screen replacement. Suggestion on after market screens.

I normally go to panelook.com and enter the model# in the search bar. Then if you scroll down, you see an overview of the models of your current screen first, and if you keep scrolling down, sometimes (it doesn't work for all LCD models) a list of compatible models. For example for my LP156WF1-TLB2:...

ThinkPad Yoga 12 battery charging problems

Hi! I have a ThinkPad Yoga 12 that doesn't charge or recognize a battery. I'm quite sure it's a motherboard issue since my almost identical TP Yoga S1 can charge the internal TP Yoga 12 battery without any issues. Needless to say, the TP Yoga 12 won't charge the TP Yoga S1 battery either. So I have ...

Re: Going to 24GB of RAM on my W540, does orientation make a difference?

I don't think it matters which slot.

My W540 has also 24GB, because I'm using 3x 8GB RAM modules, since one of the slot closing mechanism is slightly defective.

I can't remember though which one I left without RAM, I can take a look later when I'm back at home.
