Oh I see.

Do you know if it's possible to do a classic keyboard swap on the T440p?

Not possible.

To be fair, the Firewire port is a pretty rare option for the T420. It's the first time I've heard of it, to be honest.

From the looks of it, it's a drop-in replacement, but based on this picture you might need to fabricate a cover for it.

A/C lagging should if it is passive rather than flame..... I used black A/C lagging between componants (as a "soft mount/cushion") in an engine bay near the exhaust and never saw any problems. Should be ok in a laptop... Sounds good then. Maybe there exists some kind of self-adhesive version of A/C...

Looks like closed cell foam.... Ever thouh of cutting something like that from grey pipe lagging, or, even, black A/C pipe lagging??

Can either of those survive high temperatures (up to 100c)? It's attached to the heatsink after all.

Nice!

Keep us posted on the CPU temps when you get to it.

That you should do anyway.
And use a decent paste such as Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut or Hydronaut.

And if those pastes aren't enough, it's time to consider more drastic approaches like:

* liquid metal

* heatsink modification (like a DIY watercooling loop)

You are 100% certain of this?

Does your T410s have a CD or DVD drive?

If yes, look at the connector at the back.

Then compare it to the connector on the 26R9246 Ultrabay adapter.

Was a new driver among the updates?

1. IIRC there were cases where installing a too-long screw caused an electrical short in the system board, frying it dead. 2. Power it up without any RAM installed. If it giives an error beep code (1-3-3-1) there's still hope. 3. Try the 10-second salute: remove all power sources (charger and batter...

Everyone's aping Apple again.

It's an AMD E-450 CPU Based from https://www.notebookcheck.net/AMD-E-Series-E-450-Notebook-Processor.60138.0.html , I'd say it's a pretty slow processor. I don't recommend it for running VMs. Youtube will run fine if: - the web browser supports GPU-based video decoding - the video codec is H.264/AV...

Microcenter has refurb x130e units for $139. They come with 4GB RAM and a 320GB HDD, although I have an extra 4GB SODIMM and a 256GB SSD I can put in it. With those upgrades, how would this unit perform? Can it play youtube videos? Run VM's in VMWare workstation? Check the processor first-- IIRC th...

Nice find! Will try it later (running Linux at the moment).

I'm currently undervolting to 1.1625V for all but the 11x, which requires 1.2V. How did you get 1.1V as an option? I'm using RMClock. Could it be that Throttlestop offers multiplier options that RMClock doesn't? It's not the software. Each processor undervolts differently, with some lower than othe...

It's a full size 2/3rds 727-231 cockpit.

And those parts are from actual 727s? Wow.

Satirical, most likely.

Artistic? Not so much.

Hey, does the 13.3" 3:2 LCD on the Surface Pro with 3000x2000 resolution count for anything? Well, it isn't the unicorn Hydis panel, but it is the closest we will ever be. If 3:2 comes to the mainstream or at least the business sector, a 14.1" 4:3(ish) panel wit IPS and a deadly high resolution may...

That connector and two screw holes (on the upper left and lower right corners) -- definitely looks like it's for a dial-up modem card. Removed at least 8 of those in the X60/61 units I've opened up.

I have used 14.1" SXGA+ T60 for a long time, besides being warmer than 15" models, it was perfect.

Makes me wish a 14.1" IPS/AFFS or PVA screen existed.

Nice build! Flexview screens are so nice.

Maybe it's the HDD itself making the beeping noises. That means it's a defective drive.

Are you certain that the drive is in good working order?

I guess it's possible but it seems stable for now with those settings changed

That's the thing: those settings should be safe when enabled.

What's the CPU speed with Speedstep disabled?

I'm starting to wonder if that quad-core is a lemon or something.

Thank you for a very thorough response! By the sounds of what you're saying, I don't think it's worth chancing or spending money on an X60s to find out if it stays cool enough, an X60 chassis will completely suffice for me. With that being said though, do you think it'd still be useful to get one o...

A few questions: 1. Do you already have an X60 with Core Duo T2500? If yes, why do you want to put it in an X60s chassis? Also, what are the CPU temps at idle and at full load? 2. If no, are you trying to upgrade an X60s that you already own? Why not get an X61s board instead? An L7700 should be abl...

My fanless Atom project came to a screeching halt when I discovered that the screen and LCD cable are still OK. :o It started working again when I put in the keyboard. I'm not sure why it did, but my best guess is that the keyboard's aluminum base acts as an RF shield of sorts (the LVDS connector on...

Do not laugh at this - it works perfectly in HP elitebooks with some extra copper shims used. The best effect I've had so far was putting quadcored i7 in 8740w from the upper 80s to lower 70s under load. Does it work? yes. On the other hand, definietely not with this particular fan ;) I've read abo...

I found the solution, thanks to superuser.com . There's a registry key that controls autorotation behavior. By default it's set to: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Synaptics\SynTPEnh] "AutoRotationFlag"=dword:0000000b You have to change the value to a hex value of 00000000. You need Administrator privi...
