Hey all. A while back picked up another W700 on ebay (another great deal). This time the machine included the wacom digitizer palmrest, so I was super excited to get my hands on it. It's great! BUT it had some surprises on the bottom, and I'm wondering if any of you guys have any experience or have ...

Hey guys I've been scouring ebay every which way to try to dig up another HDD cover for another W700 I recently picked up. For some reason those covers always seem to be missing on used W700/W701's.

Plus it was the exact right board for my system (to anyone who, ...

Well folks - here's the current status... I swapped in a replacement intel AGB 6300 WLAN card and no improvement at all. =(

Welcome to the Forum. Thanks! Are all your drivers up-to-date? Yes - have done all Windows and Lenovo updates, including using the latest version of Lenovo update, etc. Also have tried directly updating Nvidia driver, Intel drivers, etc. No dice. Putting in another graphics card does nothing for au...

Hey Thinkpad people. I really hope someone or several of you could help me solve this issue with an otherwise well-loved W701. I got it not too long ago from ebay. All seems well with the machine.
