Pictures?

You can use the Fn+Home and Fn+End to adjust the contrast(might be PgUp and PgDn, its the icon that is a circle, half white and half black.) The blueish green pattern on the screen is part of the old DSTN technology. They get burn-in and there is nothing you can do about it. All of those screen have...

I don't know how many of you know the Haunted Mansion from Disney but I hope a few of you get a kick of this pic I made.

Ok fine. Want me to REALLY convince you.? Yea you do. LOOK AT THOSE BEZELS ON THE Y260. Take one good look at them. Look at how big and scary they are! Look at all the screen area you are losing! Scared and convinced on the Y370? Well you should be :twisted: ! In all seriousness, a 13.3" screen is a...

Not sure software wise but you could prpbably splice a reed switch in and PNP transistor to the mic lines and highjacking the magnet for the lid sensor to mute the mic.

Probably exactly what toshiba did in 1997/8, go to 4 digits.

Which is your personal favorite, the early ibm 3 digit (Model/Revision/Processor/Screen/Extras), the late IBM 2 digit(Model/Number/Revision), or the Lenovo 3 digit(Model/Screen/Year/0) I personally like the early IBM one because it shows the most information but I dislike IBM's uncordinated use of i...

1) What pieces are broken
2) a) How are you planning to use an ISO
B) note: most drives pre-1998 are picky about burned discs.
3) 755C's are very common. You'll find one.

I don't know what your definition of recent is, so I'm going with "newer than your X201s" 1. X220i with Core i3 would probably run a bit cooler than a regular X220 with Core i5/i7. 2. X220 with ULV CPU like the i5 2537M, esp with regular heatsink installed 3: X230 with ULV CPU like the i7 3667U, es...

The 2013's are the first gen of the X series? The first gen of the X1 Carbon series, there is also the "plain" X1, which is even more rare... It uses a standard 2.5" drive and has only one slot of RAM available, (max 1x 8GB). And it has a rather awful 1366x768 screen... No. The 2012 X1C is the firs...

Aspect Ratio on a laptop doesn't kill me. Its when it is on a desktop. AutoCAD, Programming IDE, Video Editing, etc. is ALL better on my 2x 16:10 monitors with 1200p over 1080p. Ask why not 4:3? Well its simple: 21" 1600x1200 monitors have no less vertical room, but less screen area all put together...

Wow! you are a lifesaver! It worked! I actually felt and heard it come loose! wow, thanks a lot! No problem. That's what we are here for :D ! I also keep getting this message saying I have a "Antiexe virus"? I think its messing up windows when it boots because everything is super big and doesn't fi...

Actually, it is likely not wiped. These drives commonly have "sticktion" where the heads stick to the platter. Take out the drive, put it in your hand, and firmly rotate it where the axis you are shaking it is the axis of the platters(basically put the label face side up in your palm and move it lik...

Is that set to normal or bright

Off Topic: I've never seen a difference. What does it do?

If you want a office mech. Keyboard that wont annoy your coworkers look at Matias QuietClick switches. Much quieter than brown.

The power jack did nothing. The connector was well stressed over its life. It refused to see the power plug no matter how it was wiggled.

Bought one in 2010. Been used 4-6 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Had the power jack break after being stressed for 7 years and the mobo needdd to be replaced. Thats the only issue it has ever had.

I have a TP Yoga. Its nice, but it is a median compromise. It is an OK laptop and an OK tablet. My X240 beat the living hell out of it for being a laptop and my HP Touchpad beat the living hell out of it as a tablet. Its stylus is pretty neat though a bit gimmicky for me. If your mother is looking a...

1) Yea the battery life from the i7 will be quite similar
2) The Yoga S1 has a 4th gen i7.

Was your computer running Windows when you dropped it from the table and it broke? Blame Micro$haft!

It's not like OEM technical support tells you to uninstall Excel when the machine is on fire.

Is there some reason there are so many used t530, 540, 560, and 570 for sale but so few 550?

Because the 550 was a decent machine?

It's more like every other day...
And the sad part is that even old-timers still do not always adhere to the Forum Rules.

Ok, maybe a simpler idea. Make it rule #1? I find it quite hard to find in the page, and newcomers will find it even harder if they dont know about it.

It seems like every other week that there is another problem with overly large images in tags. I don't imagine that it would be all that difficult to install/implement a check on the file size/image size of an image before it displays. Thoughts?

I thought larger pictures are allowed in this forum: ONLY in this: Pictures of your ThinkPad & desk setup Forum are you allowed to use more, and larger, pictures. I apologize for misinterpreting the rules. I did resize the pictures to 1920x1440 but seems not enough. Also these days most phones and ...

If you can see the screen broad as daylight at an 85 degree tilt from normal, it is IPS Flexview. I believe in 2006, all IPS panels were all about the same, or pretty darn good.

Off topic but how was the TFT Mono screen on the LTE Lite 4/25E?

The 750P, 360P and 360PE never came with TFT displays. Neither did the other slab ones like the 700T and 730TE. I've never seen an old tablet without a STN display. Why?

My friend likes to play music loudly on his T420 I gave him. He complained bitterly about the tinny speakers and how quiet they were(doesnt work well for Heavy Metal) and since it sits on a dock all day, I went to the thrift store and got some nice 1990s Altec Lansing(?) big honking computer speaker...

"AMD turned my laptop into a toaster"

I guess it is a throw back to the original A-series and specifically the A31p which ran HOT! The continuation of the TP Retro?

The back stub is to prevent the drive from going in a T4x machine. Snap it and you now have T4x compatibility.
