Re: Theoretical mod to get 800mhz FSB cpus to work in a T60
I appologize for not reading this full thread, but wanted to mention that the T60 motherboard is quite limited in otherways like it's 3gb ram limit, sata1 limit, so even if you were able to use a newer generation of cpu it would still have many other restrictions. A better solution may be to swap in...

Re: Any idea on where to get a T60 frankenpad?
Best way to get a T601, or a hybrid t60/t61 is swapping a standard screen t61 motherboard and a few other pieces into your T60 model. The key part needed is the t61 board which supply is very low but there are still a few available new in box. $139 plus shipping but less than a case of them remains ...

Re: WTB: T601f (Frankenpad)/HV150UX2-100/T61
Gotta love these machines. I'm selling the New (NOS) motherboards, although at this point we are down to about one case left, so they won't be around long. If you'd like one I'd get it soon while still available as these are extremely rare, produced years after the T61 was discontinued. Sadly Lenovo...

Re: Is there any issues with pre-August 2008 T61 motherboards with Intel graphics?
I've found the Intel boards to be among the most reliable thinkpads of all time. Keep in mind that water finds it's way into the boards if you aren't careful, but barring that or power surges they seem to last very well.

Re: WTB: 2503 Advanced Dock
I believe I have one but last time I shipped one it cost almost $40, so no interest in selling for 100. At one time I could get them cheap but they are heavy, fragile and don't fit in any flat rate or priority mail boxes so it's a problematic device to sell. Maybe you'll find someone who just wants ...

With a working CPU chip it should beep without ram installed.

Re: Question about memory on the T60 wide screen
widescreen T60 can be updated with a T61 15.4" motherboard, or whole chassis. Then you can increase ram to 8gb.
