yes I did try fn+f5. found where it should be under the palmrest. there is a reason it wont work. there is no card mounted under the palm rest the antennas are fitted but no card

EDIT: im pushing the seller to send me out the card for it

where should the bluetooth module be. my new laptop landed and it isnt working. according to its model number (2537-HL8) it has it

well its landed and its definitely used but not in bad shape at all. battery is reading fair at about 40% full capacity but it works

well my x200 has landed its a 7458-5NG. looks brand new and battery has 19 cycles (2009 vintage)

look on the mainboard near the power socket and docking port for burnt bits you may get luck and its only a 0 ohm resistor blown. id say other than a main board replacement though you are unlikely to fix this one

id think so
unless the key that is stuck isnt a letter key ie esc

looks to me like the keyboard is damaged and a key is electronically stuck

as a matter of course ( unless it has warranty stickers on it) ill be replaceing the thermal paste with as5 and lubing the fan anyway

horizontal and side by side with plenty of space to plug things into

well its bought
t8600 c2d
160 gb hdd
3gb ram (why not just go to 4 ill never know)
integrated graphics

well pulled the trigger on it.
4gb ram
integrated graphics
160 gb hdd
i5 520m
and a 12 month "warranty"
200 quid

Thats a good sign and ill be honest i went back a few pages and saw nothing recurring enough to have me even slightly worried. Would i be correct in thinking the bios has a whitelist so only lenovo modules will work? And is there a modded bios available to remove said whitelist

Anything to be aware of on these im looking at picking one up for diagnostics work which my t61 of similar spec was excelellent at until it was stolen. I was perpetually worried about the gpu failing though

Is there anything i should be aware of pre buying ie nvidia gpu issues with T61

Has this gone?
