Is it possible? The reason I ask is that the hard drive in my T43 is on its way out, and when it comes down to it, replacing it simply isn't worth the money. But I do have flash drives laying about, so if I could get an install of something on there that would work, it'd breathe new life into my onl...

SXGA+ screens require a different inverter, a standard XGA can be used for testing purposes...but should not be made into a permanent solution. IBM never "officially" offered SXGA+ on any Intel-based T43 unit. That being said, some corporate orders were shipped with 15" SXGA+ IPS panels, and these ...

Very good support in Windows and in Linux.

Is there any major difference between Ambit and Bartlett versions of the cards?

It's the cable that tell the GPU what resolution is needed. You must have the correct cable for SXGA+, XGA cable with SXGA+ panel won't work. Gotcha, what about the inverter? Is that reusable from XGA to SXGA+? EDIT: And I suppose I should confirm, SXGA+ works fine on an 15" T43 with Intel video, r...

Eh... What if I were to just get a SXGA+ panel from ebay, and swap it into one of my lids? Would the inverter/cable from the XGA work, or would I have to purchase the right ones for it? Specifically the N150P3-L01 one, it seems to be the most common one on ebay.

Harry is correct. IBM disabled the UXGA resolution for internal LCDs on these boards. There was a member who got it to work by a BIOS hack if I remember correctly, but only in Linux... Good luck. That's absolutely silly, why would they do that? I've found reference to that thread multiple times, bu...

Fixed a few errors in the first post, but...

... Crap. Why doesn't it? From everything I can find, the chipset should be capable of supporting it.

I decided to jump at the chance to upgrade from a SGA display in my T43 to a UXGA display from a T42p. I got the display (actually a complete lid assembly [and bluetooth!]), and just spent 2 hours installing it Good news: It works! Bad news: Not properly! At POST, the right side of the screen is cut...

Do any other wireless devices (or wired) work with this router? Any devices in the area running on the 2.4Ghz band that might introduce interference? Like a cordless phone? Another laptop was connected wirelessly fine, as did my Kindle. Two other desktops were connected wired with no problem. The c...

I've got a bit of a problem with networking in Windows 7 on my T43. For some reason, all connctions (wired and wireless) are no longer able to connect. When I first installed 7, wired connected fine. One day after restarting, it would no longer connect, and diagnostics were stating that there was a ...

Ah... well crap. Oh well, I guess it's not that big of a deal. There's no way to get them working, with the exception of writing my own? (That won't happen)

EDIT: Well that's odd... they appear to be working now?

Whoo! Completely updated now! Though that modded BIOS about gave me a heart attack when it finished, it said there was an error and to reboot using the crisis recovery diskette. Restarted and it works fine though! Now I suppose I have another problem. The drivers for the integrated Intel chipset jus...

I managed to get it to work! Though... not on my own. I had a friend of mine create the floppy disk for me (since it's apparently impossible on W7) and send me the files, which I copied over to the bootable USB drive, and ran from there. Only up to 1.23 currently though since I was waiting for a res...

BIOS: 1.17 ECP: 1.03 I just got a T43 1875-DMU as a graduation gift, and I'm doing my normal thing up updating everything that I can on it. I just upgraded it to 2GB of RAM and Windows 7, and then I realized: Windows 7 isn't supported by the non-diskette BIOS updaters D: What I tried next was to cre...
