Long hunting finally ends up. I've got 2: - 1141-8SW - very strange MTM printed on the back. This is definitely 1141 (2611-410) in good condition. - 2611-436 - japanese model with AMD K6-2 (pentium-class) 300MHz cpu... Conclusions: 1. iSeries of that era have very fragile plastic. And many iSeries 1...

I don't like i Series at all. But this ThinkPads have a diamond in its hearts - Yamaha sound chip and i want to test it in DOS games. If anybody have one of this ThinkPads and want to part it with me - please write your offer. PS MTM for this ThinkPads (from tiwbook): 2611-410, 2611-411, 2611-450 an...

And the main approach - find out how 240z with XGA screen works. I can do some tests on my 240z and 240x (screen assembly swap for example) SORRY FOR SOME OFFTOPIC:( Results from testing (display swap) between 240z and 240x. 240x with XGA display from 240z show only white flash in lower 1/3 of scre...

However, if you display XGA on SXGA+ screen or vice versa, you will just get a black screen! This, is actually because XGA is of single channel LVDS signalling, while SXGA+ required dual channel LVDS! I understand this but before this post i have one successful mod with R40. Some late R40 with Cent...

I can rule out the clock+data pairs with a scope (large image here, https://ibb.co/N7zr91B, quite handy for fitting panels with unknown pinouts) Nice photo, with oscilloscope, multimeter, soldering station and especially with impact socket (1-3/16) on top of LCD. My current project is R51e. I have ...

Interesting findings. Yes, we know that screen resolution coded with jumpers on LCD cable. So connecting UXGA LCD to SXGA+ cable says to ThinkPad that it is SXGA+ screen. Sometimes it is possible to move jumpers on cable. Sometimes BIOS have no information (block) corresponding to new jumpers positi...

YGPM.

It has been awhile, but I tried to upgrade a G41 SXGA+ nvidia to a A31 SXGA+ screen (or maybe it was a T42p) and the cable did not reach far enough for the screen. Have checked G50 with SXGA+ cable from G40 (or maybe G41) and LP150E05A2K1 - working fine. And one more not so successful mod. I Have A...

I think you meant Yonah, not Banias (1st gen Pentium M) And is it not possible to modify the BIOS to get Merom working? I thought that's all that's needed for this generation You right it Yonah (last from Centrino family). The BIOS modification is the main showstopper for this project... but i have...

If it is not too late... Try to not connect palmrest (better - to boot ThinkPad without palmrest) and try boot keyboard and trackpoint only windows. For me, ribbon cable in palmrest in W70x is prone to brake... and may be this brake can fool trackpoint... Without palmrest, trackpoint and it's button...

And some more info. But that's a newer generation board - just like T60 wouldn't need a different cable - and wasn't that a G50 ? Yes newer ThinkPads like T60 use EDID to distinguish different LCDs (and LCD resolution) and do not need different cables with jumper coded resolution (how it was on olde...

HMM (on top of this web page) is your friend. For G40/G41 there are some cables for XGA and some cables for SXGA+ (91P6797, 91P6822, 91P6866). G51 definitely did not need a different ribbon cable for UXGA. G51 - what is this? I have'nt modded any G40/G41. But i have made mod for G50 - transplanted c...

To make a long story short, I want to overclock my I7-720 to make it perform more like a i7-920. I don't know any BIOSes to overclock W510. Even i don't have W510, but i have W701. The top notch CPU for this workstations is 940xm but it only 133MHz more (then 920xm). The key difference between 720q...

Yeah I believe the 4TB is the limit for what MBR can address, not just partitions, so no matter what kind of partitions you create you can only use up to 2TB in total. But if it is not used as a boot drive, then you can use GPT on it and it will work just fine. Just for clarification. MBR use 2 num...

How are you going to overcome the 2TB limit for using Legacy BIOS to boot any OS then? Some notes of my experience with this 15mm drives. First of this drives in my posession was 2Tb seagate external drive and it have worked very well. After some time i've got 4Tb disk without any enclosure. First ...

thinkpad 600x error 173 163 before post. thinkpad is still stuck before 0-1. Bad (and belated) news. 173 and 163 errors say that we have not typical "BAD CMOS battery" problem but very own to 600x problem. May be it is more common to SpeedStep equipped units. And i don't know any ways to resolve it...

My 2c in addition. If i remember right - advanced dock routes IDE interfce to USB bus throught adapter. So it is right desision to place DVD in dock on slow USB interface and place HDD (SSD?) on fast SATA interface in ThinkPad ultrabay.

The first photo is a teaser as a continuation to this thead . https://i.postimg.cc/rKyCnLKX/DSC00061.jpg Sorry for bad quality of photos ;( As you can understand there is only one real anniversary edition on this photo - 10th anniversary with ID 1048. TP25 is FrankenPad with TP25 palmrest and keyboa...

So you are not going to link the pictures for us?

Oh - my bad! have forgotten to post the link.
So here we are .

And all this limited edition thinkpads (15th, 20th and japan only) are gone. I believe they find new lovely homes.

I am sorry for hijacking the topic, but i have some words to add to "ThinkPad Limited Edition" thread... again For a long time i thought that: Reserve Edition (X61s) is the 15th anniversary (Lenovo)... But last week i have find other kind of ThinkPad 15th anniversary edition on japanese Yahoo aucti...

I am sorry for hijacking the topic, but i have some words to add to "ThinkPad Limited Edition" thread. If X30 (and NOT S31) is the 10th anniversary (IBM), Reserve Edition (X61s) is the 15th anniversary (Lenovo), and TP25 - is 25th anniversary (Lenovo)... There should be 20th anniversary edition... a...

Two years have passed and i have found it. Today i've got "IBM USB serial parallel adapter" and begin hunting for driver... Find one on old IBM PCCBBS clone site: http://ps-2.kev009.com/pccbbs/options/usbpssetup.exe This is original driver from IBM and it is up to XP only. For those who want to use ...

...so the older ones won't work... May be it is right to invest in newer thing... But first that came to my mind in terms Quad Core and 14" is... T440p. Not all T440p is quadcores! It can eat up to 16Gb ram. But clunkpad is here;( Or may be other T4x0p series. Eg T460p can eat 32Gb ram. You can thi...

I was reading this topic from the begining but only now have some time to write my observations i've gathered. First of all in Moscow we slowly unlocking (after lockdown, or selfisolation as we call it). Yes in Moscow things are worse (in absolute ratings) than in other regions of Russia. But people...

Hallo, so this was a 15" 16:10 T61 mobo fitted into a 14" 3:4 T60 Which 16:10 T61 mobo would fit better into a 15" 3:4 T60? 14" or 15"? I know a 14" 4:3 T61 fits into 15" 4:3 T60 more easily ..but if I was to choose between widescreen T61 mobos which one would I want? Thx, P.S. an advice from think...

If there should be any incompatibility at all it should be the other way - so you cannot plug in an under-powered AC adapter to more power demanding machines - as this way it will not work. But the way it is? Crazy and stupid. If this thesis seems stupid, so we can rephrase it... With this tabs you...

PM sent.

I need some more info. First of all - what is your docking station? If i understand right: this ThinkPad starts without any warnings if connected to this power supply without docking station. If you can install Windows and Lenovo Power Manager please start it and go to battery tab. And write there w...

From memory searching for "x2" (utilize 2 mPCIe slots) and "x1E" might yield results. Best way is to use m.2 slot (for nvme device) on mother board with 4x lanes. This can be obtained from hardware staring from Core-i 5-6 gen - so PCIe will be gen2 or more;) and it can provide some throughput for g...
