If it's still under warranty I believe you can call ibm to replace the hd.

I'm also looking for a deal on a X60/X60s since I think my x31 is on it's way out soon. Is there still anything left?

Hi, I'm having issues with my x31 that started yesterday. When I boot it up sometimes the screen doesn't show the Thinkpad screen and just hangs at a blank LCD. After turning it on/off a few times it works again. Then sometimes it just hangs at the Thinkpad screen. If I can get past all this stuff (...

I did an install and it didn't hose the RnR partition, you have to delete the ntfs partition at the beginning of the disk.

I installed ubuntu on my x31 fine without destroying my RnR partition. I don't have windows though, since I wiped it.

the mobility radeon 7500 is supported by the 'radeon' dri driver. http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/ATIRadeon

Basically try changing "ati" driver in your xorg.conf to "radeon", remember to have Load "radeon" under options.

do any of those hds work on the x4x series? i.e. 1.8"

Hi,

are you willing to sell the dvdrw multiburner?

specs from lenovo site: P M 750(1.86GHz), 512MB RAM, 40GB 5400rpm HD, 14.1in 1400x1050 TFT LCD, 64MB ATI Radeon X300, CDRW/DVD, Intel 802.11bg wireless(MPCI), Modem(CDC), 1Gb Ethernet(LOM), UltraNav, Secure Chip, Fingerprint Reader, 6c Li-Ion batt, WinXP Pro http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.ws...

I would just like to vouch for Brian here, I just bought a T41 from him and it was in excellent condition like stated. I haven't had any problems with it. He drove an hour out to Baltimore to close the trade with me and he made sure I had no questions. Great service.

it's attached to the base of the keyboard, I own a x31.

when I press down on the metal thing where the ribbon attaches to the motherboard, it seems to work perfectly fine. I couldn't find a way to remove it to reattach it. The lcd connections on the top seem fine though and I reconnected those.

it seems to be sensitive to motion, so tapping the side of the lcd can bring it back from a blank screen sometimes. I think it's either the lcd or the ribbon cable, probably the cable. Is it easy to replace one of htese?

I have 1.5 year old refurb'd x31. I keep getting video artifact though and sometimes I can't get it to go back to normal after the screen goes blank/black. I checked the ram/hd and they seem to work, I have this issue while going through the IBM diagnostic via the access ibm button. The screen becam...

anyways, thanks for clarifying. I wonder if the ALSA drivers support the mic.

yeah, the two slot looking holes next to the hd light!

is it the two slots next to the hard drive light?

Does the X31 have a built in microphone?

Doom3!? I have an athlon xp 1700+ oc'd to 2000+ w/ 512 mb of dual channel PC3200 and a geforce 6800 GT and doom3 is still quasi choppy. My friend has an emachine with a athlon 64 3000/3200+ w/ a radeon 9600 and doom3 isn't very playable with it. Doom3 eats video cards for lunch. I doubt any X will g...

Does the intel 2915 abg from newegg work with the X31? Or is the bios lock a problem like before with the other cards?

No I haven't, but I bought a http://www.sfbags.com/products/sleevecases/sleevecases.htm%20Waterfield%20Sleevecase myself. They're really nice. Well made, fits my X31 all snug. If you want the ultrabase, you can either see if it fits in the piggyback or just buy a bigger one. I got a size 6 for the h...
