I'm not sure why anyone would want such a small memory stick, but I have a surplus 256MB, DDR, 333, CL2.5 SODIMM
IBM FRU 31P9831, date: 2004-12-11

Yours for £5 inc. P&P (to UK)

It's always worked perfectly well. I just wanted to upgrade and replaced it with a 1GB stick.

Thanks Richk,

That's reassuring.

I want to replace the 256MB sodimm under my keyboard with a 1GB stick.
P72 of The Hardware Manual says about the screws:
"Each one should be used only once" &
"Always use new screws"

Is it really that important? And if so, where can one buy plastic coated M2 screws?

Thanks,

Thanks Yak,
I've now deleted the contents of this folder (saving it all temporarily elsewhere, just in case) & evertything is still working OK.

Wecome to my nightmare. RnR 4.1 doesnt work on T41, and I have 42 GB's of a 60GB drive left after a RnR. It's all way too Pathetic! I wish there was way a to kill the useless partitions without having to rebuild this PC, again. Frank, After Johan's reply, do you still think that RnR 4.1 doesn't wor...

I had this fault last year. I've avoided it since by disabling tvtsched.exe . I notice that the T41, T42 & T42P are not included in the supported systems for this fix. Any ideas why not?

I have RnR 3.1, and I notice there is v4.1 available. It hasn't come up on System Update, and Lenovo don't include the T41 in their list of supported systems. see ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/pc/pccbbs/thinkvantage_en/z503_setup_rnr41_315c.txt They do say: "This version of Rescue and Recovery may also...

I've also had horrendous problems with tvtsched.exe. I thought I must be infected with a virus or malware, and went through all the exhaustive steps to clean them, because when I ran Task Manager, the performance window only showed the processes which show up in the green not in red. I first got the...

Thanks GomJabbar and Stargate199, and also MJ, who posted a detailed method in http://forum.thinkpads.com/viewtopic.php?t=23831&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=60 I tried uninstalling intel wireless via Control Panel/device manager (as it doesn't appear in add/remove, unlike intel wired), but each ti...

cheers,

I'm afraid both the port replicator and cable lock were sold together soon after they were advertised.

I had not used my wireless connection for some time, so I don't know when the problem started, but when I wanted to turn it on yesterday, Fn+F5 wouldn't do it; it just toggles the bluetooth icon on and off. I connected wirelessly by opening Access Connections (v4.41) via Start, but now the green wir...

bump.

There is interest, but it's not gone yet.

I have a T41, and as has been described above, Battery Maximiser does not include the "Improve Battery Health" option. I do have access to a T42 which does include this option. Will it cause any problems if I swap over the batteries to condition the battery out of the T41, and then swap them back? T...

I am not sure if this is the right place to post, but I remember seeing mentioned that IBM used to give education discounts to buyers, and I am wondering if Lenovo do the same.

I am in the UK, and my son is starting university next month, which is why I am asking.

Thanks for any information.

RnR isn't very flexible, but having said that I still use it. I make backups onto an external drive only. I think that the only way to stop it making a copy onto your hard drive as well is to delete all your backups and start again, setting it to back up onto the external drive only. If you make you...

I have Rescue n Recovery 3.0. Whenever I run a backup, I get the messaage from my firewall that r2r.exe is trying to access the internet. I deny access, and the backup proceeds happily anyway. Why does it want to do this? And am I missing out on anything by not letting it do it?

Where did you get the idea that RnR only works with Norton? I downloaded the RnR user guide from http://www-306.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=TVAN-RNRUG and it doesn't mention Norton anywhere. I am interested because I intend to change AV when my free 3 month subscription expires (...

I would very much appreciate it if someone could provide an idiot's guide to upgrading to RnR3. Perhaps someone with Lenovo/IBM connections could do this for us? I have RnR 2.04.0182 installed. I have seen several posts saying that some people have had trouble upgrading. Is the best way to upgrade b...

Thanks for all your responses. I may now be getting somewhere, although there seem to be new oddities. I went to Control Panel-Power Options, and found the power scheme was set to Thinkpad default, from a choice of at least 10 schemes. I selected Home/office desk, went to Control panel-system, and t...

I think that confusion arises from thinking about the hidden bit as a partition rather than a hidden folder. It is still part of the C drive in fact.

Believe me, for I learned the hard way.

I can confirm what GomJabbar says.

With RnR all data on the HDD is deleted. It can be restored if you used RnR to make a backup to e.g. an external USB drive.

I assume you are talking about the General tab under system properties, this just shows what's installed not current speed. Yes, I am talking about the General tab. Mine shows both the speed of the installed processor and the current speed. In the bottom right hand corner of the tab it currently re...

Does your Thinkpad register AC is plugin ? Try to set max performance while not plugin to AC and remove AC to see if there will be any difference. My Thinkpad is registering that AC is plugged in. The AC icon underneath the screen is lit, and the screen dims when I unplug. Beerak, what CPU speed do...

I think I have a serious hardware problem, and would like your help. My Thinkpad has been running really slowly (e.g. hourglass or torch showing for several seconds when in Explorer). I noticed that my 1.4GHz Centrino processor was often much slower than this (585MHz seems the most common speed) by ...

SeanM, This sounds interesting. Pardon my ignorance, but what will happen if I just double click on winnt.exe? Where is it documented? Should I add a "switch", and if so, how? And no, I haven't added any extra memory. It's still got the original 256MB. I am waiting to see if the problems can be sort...

Thanks for your responses. Perhaps I should have mentioned that I have installed AV and spyware products from word go (Norton AV, AdAware, Spybot and MS AntiSpyware), and carry out regular back ups. (My data backups have always been good; my system backups are now improving.) My XP came pre-installe...

T41, BIOS 3.16 Among the MANY problems I have been having with this machine has been its reluctance to install a USB scanner.
