Got those figures after doing the charge/discharge cycle, before doing that, the figures were completely off, stating 25wH left in the battery, and the battery would read 100% but keep charging, or read 3% remaining and still run for 30 minutes. Yea, my current capacity (according to the battery gau...

after discharging and recharging completely the thinkpad battery gauge has reset and I now have a 2003 100+ cycle battery that is in good health with 46.26Wh (43.20Wh the specified original)

Just finished recelling the battery for my t23 (pretty much dead, 100+ cycles, built 2003, would charge to 100%, and discharge within minutes) This is just some general info on what I did with the usual warning that if youre not completely sure what youre doing, .... don't do it... and I take no res...

adware? run spybot, adware and hijack this? I had a similar problem and I removed O20 - Winlogon Notify: psfus - C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\psqlpwd.dll O20 - Winlogon Notify: tpfnf2 - C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\notifyf2.dll O23 - Service: FMUQKOJRQPTKY - Sysinternals - www.sysinternals.com - C:\DOCUME~1\Eric\LOCA...

is this problem common? I just had my systemboard replaced for this problem too. USB power exceeded messages a,nd the system completely freezing quite often requiring a hard shut down

i was searching and while this is totally inrelevant now, i'm just posting incase someone does search. uh... I thought my harddrive was stuck, then i opened the lid. Stupid me

if its under warranty i think they send you an entire new keyboard
with screws) I think I have a t43 14.1 alps keyboard with a couple keys missing back in fl. If you still cant find the key, and the 14.1 alps keyboard matches next week gimme a pm, and I'll try to find it when I get back.

This is probably an isolated incident of a bad tech who screwed up, and was lazy. Long story short, my t43 was returned to me with stripped screw holes, and scotch tape wrapped around the threads to hold it in. So if anyone sends in their machine to easyserv, they might wanna check the workmanship c...

I currently have my t43 harddrive in an usb enclosure while my t43 is at easyserv. Is there anyway to actually open the harddrive on a another computer? When i hook up the drive to other computers, they recognize a usb mass storage device but it doesnt show up as a drive in my computer, I'm assuming...

one of my drives acted that way, specifically I would put any cd or dvd in and the drive would just continously run with the led blinking on and off, but the system wouldnt recognize the disk. I ended up having to trade it in to get a new drive under warranty which worked fine

Does anyone else have a flickering battery indicator on their t43? I remember it is usually a steady green or orange depending on if its plugged in or not. Mines flickering and I'm trying to figure out if it means theres something wrong? (my computer is currently freezing up in windows and the bios,...

I'm not sure why, but recently my t43 has been booting up to the normal windows logon screen, The thinkpad asks for my finger print for the bios and hd log in, but the windows one is gone. Any tips or suggestions on the settings or program to run to get it back? Also recently Ive been getting errors...

just fyi i guess... Recently my 5 key wasn't working right so I push down on it thinking it was just snapped out of place, well it broke off... Called ibm got routed to atlanta georgia, asked for nmb version, and they sent me a new keyboard. The guy also said the new t's are only shipping with the n...

if i remember right theres just an indented rubber washer/button type thing under the plastic button that keeps it up, the buttons did get looser on my older thinkpads, on my x21 i even had to swap the left/right because the right side's washer wore out.

i don't know about your "warped" screen but did you check your power settings? sounds like my laptop that dims the backlight when not in use when its unpluged.

Anyone ever notice what part of their laptop gets the hottest?
my 14.1 t43 (undervolted and using wireless) is fine all over the bottom except for directly under the touchpad, which is way to hot for my liking

Thanks

Just wondering, is the thinkpad protection plan supposed to show up on the warranty status page?

same thing. just press the Prtsc button on the thinkpad.

Hrm... I dont have that click noise... the touchpad is connected to the palmrest.. and I'm really not sure what would cause it to move up/down

How'd you find out what keyboard/display model you had?

Is it a new battery? Did you check the power settings? (power manager, battery maintenance) Theres some different settings there, fully charge, optimize, and custom (I actually have mine set to start charging below 92% and stop at 95%) my guess is, if its an older battery, and its always stuck at 99...

the $57 dollars ones were manufactured in 2003 (gotta ask on ebay).. some guy snapped out the last 7 of them, prolly to resell. I can't find the mAh for the ultrabay slim on lenovos site, but then again im stupid, some websites list it as 1.5 aH but most pictures I've seen theyre labeled 2.2Ah Norma...

uh.. guess i like to talk and ill make another reply to myself... turned on laptop and didnt turn on CHC (have it set not to autorun incase it locks up) rendering adobe premiere, finally turned on chc, cpu temp was at 82, and is now slowly dropping back down, at 57 right now. This normal? is that ex...

ok so the sticker peels off no problem.... (being alittle paranoid there) but anyways, anyone have any suggestions on putting name/contact info on your laptop.. incase its ever picked up and some goodhearted soul decides to return it? i thought there used to be some ibm utility that let you save you...

I think it can go lower than 1.100V x 15x have tried it at 1.02v b4 but didnt get to run many tests my settings, (search for others) which i think are pretty conservative 2.0ghz sonoma 6x@.716 <ran fine at .700v 8x@.780 10x@.860 12x@.924 14x@.988 15x@1.1 hrm... get a 9cell :D? the battery sticking o...

Finally got my 2687dsu, ($1611 epp) took about a month couple questions: does that sticker on the lid come off easily? They include a hex screw for the ultrabay slim, do I need to worry about the bay getting stolen? (Have a lock and no I don't plan on just leaving it somewhere unattended if at all p...

t43 1.9gb (new)

maybe it sas new when you bought it, but the listing says refurbs

looks like the crappiest t43p ever seen too... I dunno i always thought the P was put on higher end machines, that one has integrated graphics, normal screen, not much anything, AND ONLY a 1 year warranty

hm.. kind of interested in that.. do you have the manufacture date for it? and did it come with warranty?

How does liquid get between the layers of an lcd panel? they all look sealed to me, wow i see that picture now, i cant tell if the lcds screwed up or if its just stains in the backlight, which you prolly could clean.
