On to eBay.

TTT - Am I going to have to go to eBay with this ?
C'mon folks. This is a primo T41.

I have an IBM Thinkpad T41 Type 2373 for sale. This T41 has the 1.7 GHZ Pentium M processor and 2 GB of RAM. The BIOS is updated to v3.23 and the embedded controller to v 3.04, the latest versions. I also installed an Intel 2200BG wireless card and put in a new CMOS battery about 3 months ago. While...

Thx for all your help. I'll pick some up and do each laptop while I have the case opened.
Have to remove the Administrator password and the User password.

We picked up 3 T41 (2373) Thinkpads.

As I said in another post, we recently acquired 3 ThinkPad T41, Type 2373 laptops. I have successfully restored the factory software, drivers etc. with ISO files I found on BitTorrent. Our office has both wired and wireless network access. The wired connection works fine on all 3 ThinkPads. The wire...

Thx for all the suggestions. I actually found a set of 5 Recovery CDs on BitTorrent. I know downloading can be risky, but I did it and they work. They come as ISO files. Below is (1) a link to the files on BitTorrent and (2) the file designation once you download and install BitTorrent. (1) http://e...

Now, why didn't I think of that? Maybe a cloned image would work.
Thx

Thx Johan.

We recently acquired 3 Thinkpad T41 2373 that are all in good to very good overall condition. Unfortunately, no CDs or anything came with them - only chargers and 1 desktop docking station. I want to restore the machines with a clean install of XP Pro ( which is on them now) along with the factory s...
