@pianowizard The claims could be accurate. Normally when a manufacturer sends devices for testing or do the tests themselves they do a limited production run, devices from this early production run is then used for all tests and presentations etc. Only a few manufactures do rigorous test on devices ...

How do you check which powerplan the system is using?

It could be that PowerManager is not run at startup to decrease the boot time of the system and therefore the powerplan is enacted after some time has elapsed. Try checking msconfig and see if PowerManager is set to start with the system.

It seems that it is a Windows problem. Try the following: 1) Disable the "Always on USB" 2) Restart your computer 3) Enter Standby 4) Plug in your phone, in the same USB port you used when the "Always on USB" was enabled 5) Exit Standby See what happens. If you get BSOD then it is definitely the com...

Could you specify what you mean by "my powerplan is applied"?

I agree with the comments so far about getting an Intel graphics card if you are not gaming - and let's have that discussion about gaming now: the nVidia NVS (popularily called nVidia Quadro NVS) is a business oriented platform, meaning that the drivers are optimized for CAD/CAM, therefore it is not...

aghayek, having experienced similar with my work laptop from HP I do understand that you are very angry and fed up with the service that has been provided. However I must confess that I have never had any issues what so ever with the durability of Lenovo (or with IBM) ThinkPads, only time I experien...

From Amazon: "ExpressCard modules use serial (PCI Express and USB 2.0) data interfaces rather than the ISA (16-bit PC Card) or PCI (CardBus) parallel bus interfaces, improving bus speed in data transfer while reducing the number of signals needed in the interface (2.5 Gb/s [PCI Express] or 480 Mb/s...

Hello, I don't own a x300 but I have replaced several batteries, this is my experience so far: The production date is the most important factor when it comes to performance of the battery, especially how many cycles you can run. E.g. I have had batteries that could easily endure 6xx cycles, while ot...

Theoretically 10 persons can access the same account, each using their fingerprint. In the software you are able to set the fingerprint for each of your 10 fingers. If you instead of using your fingers, use the fingerprint of one finger from each of your colleagues in one of the 10 slots, then they ...

No problem

Just checked, in addition to some auxiliary software (adobe and such) the 4th disc contains a few wireless drivers.

I have 4 disks: Marked No. 1 and called "Start Recovery Disc" No. 2 - "Operating System Recovery Disc" No. 3 - "Applications and Drivers Recovery Disc" Not numbered - A thinkpad logo on the very top and has "Includes software and User guide" written on it. During recovery i have only used the three ...

I have the same problem. I found a solution that works, buts it's not practical: turn off the network cards, using the physical switch, before putting the computer to sleep/hibernation. When you resume from sleep/hibernation, turn on the switch only after you have logged in. This works for me. So fa...

Hello, Last Sunday, after using the x200t all day I turned it off in the early afternoon hours with approximately 80% charge on the battery. Next day, when trying to turn on the laptop with no power cord plugged in, the laptop wouldn't start. When I attached the power cord, the battery indicator was...

What do you mean by that?

Another question: does anyone know if it will be possible to get a better gpu than the 4200M for the t420/t420s?

If we are to believe this, then the T420 will not be available with quad core processors Or at least at the launch they won't.

Otherwise i like them, especially the T420s

Hi,

I think it's the trackpoint that is activated, try disabling the trackpoint click feature - it should be called "Press-to-Select" in the trackpoint controls.

I love that they have changed the locking mechanism, but thats the only good thing :( Where is the modem? Microphone in? Or for that matter the power socket? I hope that the pictures are some old prototype and not the actual product. If they have moved the power socket to the back then that would me...

It's probably impossible to tell but is the touch-pad smooth again? I hate the raised bumps of the T400s and higher touch pads. I've compared the pictures found in the first link with similar pictures i've taken from circa the same angle and elevation and it does not look promising :( The similarit...

autorun.inf is used to tell the operating system which programs/files to run when the disk/drive is recognized/authenticated. E.g. when you insert a CD/DVD into the CD/DVD drive the operating system reads the instructions found in autorun.inf and performs the action specified. In the recent years th...

The somewhat small article with video, and pictures of the T420, can be found at HERE.

The video only is available HERE.

Enjoy

Many thanks to forum member smh , for selling me a brand new IBM Ultranav Travel PS2 Keyboard. Everything went smoothly and I really enjoyed communicationg with smh . Many thanks to lophiomys too for a smooth transaction. The payment was prompt and communication was top-notch, all-in-all a very ple...

Daniel Bakker's suggestion is the most feasible, as windows will have to be reactivated otherwise. Generally you will get a hodgepodge of drivers if you take the hard drive of one system and insert into a different system. Regarding your WWAN, make sure that the module is whitelisted for the x201t o...

I have been researching the same topic for some time now and all i could find was references to a chinese modder who had done this but no confirmation nor any pictures/description on how he had done it and what type of system board he had used. If you can get your hand on a x201 tablet system board,...

Want to see there is any interest in a x200 tablet (7450-W1K) with the following hardware: See the standard hardware @ http://preview.tinyurl.com/3xqlfsg Other than that the RAM has been upgraded to 8gb 1333 MHz dual channel Corsair and Ericsson F3507g WWAN module has been installed. Bought Jan 2009...

For those in EU interested, i am currently in possession of 3 of these keyboards, unopened and unused. Two years back i bought 10 and have been using them ever since for my different computers, i'm willing to ship the keyboards within EU if there is interest, but be aware that you will have to pay 3...

Upon reading this topic, I DISabled my AMT in BIOS (my personal machine), weird, it look a hell lot of time to cold-start. Re-enable it, the X starts to fly again. I wonder where it went wrong, oh well, never mind, its working fine and dandy again. Have you installed the intel matrix drivers? When ...

hardware malfunction was also one of my main worries, not that it couldn't be fixed but rather the repair time-frame is what i was concerned about. Specially because the x200t is my only mobile workstation.

Problem solved :D I still don't know what the cause was, but i suspect that i was software related - the reason why? Easy peasy lemon squeezy! I installed "Update for Windows 7 for x64-based Systems (KB976264)" and tada: the problem was fixed, no more ugly artifacts on the screen :banana: :banana:

I have searched and found that the motherboards of x201 and x200 are very similarly built up, meaning that the physical fit is assured when going from x201t chassis to a x200t. The question is more about if it is monetarily wise to perform this operation - or is it easier to trade the x200t + cash f...

I don't know as it has never happened while it was connected to an external monitor - though sometimes there is a small amount of flickering when i connect a projector, but disconnecting and reconnecting always solve the problem.
