Speaking of a Dell WD19 dock, does anyone have any experience connecting a Thinkpad X140E to it? There's 2 monitors and a 130 power supply with the dock. I'm not sure how to go about it, which connection to use, maybe I need an adapter. Thanks.

See this for an example: https://forum.thinkpads.com/viewtopic.php?p=786680#p786680 Dewalt seems to make batteries for most things. OTOH, that machine seems to be rather problematic: https://www.complaintsboard.com/complaints/ctire-yardworks-toronto-ontario-c84682.html It might be cheaper in the en...

I did a quick search on the numbers your provided and came up with a battery similar to the one in this video. https://youtu.be/K9sf2xJR8iE Does that look about right to you? If so, those are off-the-shelf at any decent battery supplier and you only need your measurements. You may even have some wi...

If it's very heavy like ya say, then it may be an old lead acid battery inside a case of some sort. Take some pics of the battery and some measurements too. It may be a simple case of getting a generic drop-in replacement. I do hope that's the solution, my mum would like to keep her mower! The batt...

We might be more helpful if you also give make/model of the 'old' stuff...

Good point, RBS, thanks.

The make is Yardworks.
Battery serial #060-1778-0
Mower serial #060-2-142-0

I'm having no luck finding a replacement battery for my Mom's rechargeable lawnmower, so thought I'd ask you knowledgeable Thinkpadders for advice or a referral to someone who can rebuild such a battery, if that's possible (I've heard of rebuilding Thinkpad batteries, so figured it was worth a shot)...

Try leaving the cover open slightly while in the dock? That's what I do. Though I haven't measured the temps, it does feel a bit cooler. I'd be curious to see what the temps say if someone measures them with the lid open vs. closed.

Thank you, RBS. It seems it's a Power-on password, then. I'll dig the machine out and see if there's anything I can do following those instructions. I'll let you know.

I bought an X60S tablet a while back. It worked great, until the CMOS battery died. Then, I discovered there was a boot-up (supervisor?) password on it. The seller doesn't know the password! Now, I can't boot the machine past the start-up screen that asks for the password. Is this the dreaded superv...

The 760 is spoken for, awaiting pick up to go to a new home!

Works fine, but I never use it. The only issue is that the keyboard is "sticky" and I don't know why (I got the machine 2nd hand). But I suppose you can replace the keyboard or use an external one. Has all original parts, as far as I know: CD player, HD, battery. CMOS battery was even still good, la...

Enter the BIOS on startup to shut off the beeps (alarms): 1) push the power button to start (or restart) 2) push the blue ThinkVantage button quickly (unless you get another option for how to enter the BIOS) 3) Find the ALARMS section, should be under CONFIG 4) Disable all the alarms. 5) Save the ne...

Want this for a T61. 32 bit.

Please PM me, thanks.

RealBlackStuff and theterminator93 thanks muchly!

I pulled some old RAM, 4 x 1GB of pc2 5300s, out of a non-Thinkpad laptop. These are called SODIMM, I believe. 2 sets are labelled 2RX8 pc2 5300s 555 12 F1 667 (Is this 667 MHZ?) 2 sets are labelled 2Rx8 pc2 5300s 555 12 E3 (555 MHZ?) Is there any way to tell which Thinkpads these would work in? Som...

Been using ClamWin Free Antivirus for on-demand scans and Online Armor firewall. Seem good and quite light. I have MSE on some machines and find it good.

I used to use AVG and Zonealarm, but they got crappy, and bloated and needed to get paid, especially ZA with too many popup advertisements.

It's a joy to see pictures such as this, thank you! If we could know the models, please?

Seeing a TP collection such as this makes me happy. I will need to photograph mine and share some more joy!

I fired this machine up tonight (760EL) and it booted to Win98 just fine. I leave it plugged in when not in use, which may or may not extend the CMOS battery, (I believe it does, but on some ThinkPads this didn't seem to hold true). But the CMOS battery is still fine in any case. Still have the issu...

The R31 is working well now with updated drivers, browsing the Web (wireless card, Ethernet and USB cell phone connections all work) and doing email with XP and the latest FF. The power management issue is solved and it can sleep. It had only one 256 RAM card in it and was a bit sluggish. I found an...

I have a PCMCIA USB adapter in my 760 EL and can read 2Gb USB with it albeit it slowly - into W98se. I can also log into my TALK TALK BBand with a PCMCIA WiFi also but limited by a compatible Browser as constantly nagged to upgrade as all developers think we can just add new OSs at the drop of a ha...

Yes, first USB support was added in Windows 95 OEM Service Release 2.1 (aka Windows 95b/c). Main issue with pre-2000 Windows is that you often/usually needed to install drivers for the devices you plug in. Newer versions have most of the basic drivers included. Copied from another thread on 600X US...

Interesting. Great that you are getting such use out of the 600. Not having sound would be a drag, however I'll save Antix as a last resort, thanks for the tip!

Windows 98 should have support for USB controllers; a 600 has a built-in USB 1.1 port. I think W95 shipped early on without USB support. Several questions: - If you know, what was used to install the OS? Factory or retail version? - What is reported by Device Manager for Universal Serial Bus contro...

The recent thread THE MOST RUGGED THINKPAD EVER? ( http://forum.thinkpads.com/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=115420 ) got me thinking of the two 600's I have! 600 #1 has Win98 on it, without USB support. Apart from the USB support, this machine runs great. Anyone know how I can get the USB working without cha...

I have a 600x that I bought in 1999 that still works like a champ. It ran Windows 2000 for years, til I finally installed Linux on it. *Great* computer. I wish today's Thinkpads were remotely as solid... I've got a couple of 600's that I agree are very solid! This thread is making me think to get t...

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I just got my R31 "back on the road" with XP pro SP3 (tried Puppy Linux Wary and it worked, but I needed XP for some apps). It's humming along pretty good with only 248 MB of RAM and a P3 1.13 GHZ processor! It's handling the Websites I'm using with no problems with the latest Firefox (haven't tried...

re: CRTs..I have very good LCD monitors, and still my old IBM CRT displays richer colour and depth in many web pages. They are just different technologies, with their own strengths and weaknesses.

Norway Pad - nice finds! Thanks for the pics. It's always nice when a place shuts down and leaves some goodies behind

Yes, the unit does get hot quickly, on the underside, and the right palm rest...so, there is something going on. I will take it apart and have a look, thanks for the tips.
