12V from the battery or 12V from the outside? I wonder if it isnt sending the "smart data" so it is complaining.

If it wont run off the battery, thr main battery might supply the CMOS power. I havent seen that since 1989 but is possible from the non-removable nature of the battery.

The Model M looks great, but it's only available used, at $150!

So I'm looking for the best contemporary Lenovo USB keyboards.

Thanks.

Pckeyboards.com AKA Unicomp has brand new model M's with or without a trackpoint or trackball for 100$

That is quite true too.

Also, the X1 panel is XGA. You want the U1 panel which is UXGA.

Ok, I see where your are coming from. I am a retro computer collector and for me, anything that isnt 25 years old isnt retro.

Ok, you need to know a bit about thos machine. It is from 1996 and it will never run anything remotely modern. Even Windows XP wont run. So you are stuck with 95 or 98. Maybe Puppy Linux will work, maybe not. Not sure. You coudl get a CD-ROM drive from this forum or if you have a floppy disk or two ...

Um, it isnt considered retro by todays standards though. It is a late Core 2 Duo. I'd say a good 5% of the market uses Core 2 Duos. 1/4 of the users on this forum daily a Core 2 Duo, including me. It isnt old if it cant be deemed too old for modern software. Anything post-2000 isnt retro/post SSE2

Thinkpads have always looked like black boxes. It isn't retro at all, just that's how they look. Retro is a throwback to times that have changed, but Thinkpads haven't changed. You wouldn't call a clock with hands retro, neither is a Thinkpad.

Most of the time my phone runs on edge, which is about 127kbps per second. Your page would have normally taken about a few minutes to load on my phone.

The rules for the board are no me than 50K on normal boars per pic and a max size of 800x00 for PDA and dial up users. The rule is from 2004 but it is still the rules. The mods will take down your photos if you dont act now.

He probably uploaded them from his phone and didn't realize it was a 12MP photo. I've done it in the past too.

1: Nice build.

2: Get those pictures off img tags before the mods get you!!

IPS AND LED are talking about two different things First, a bit of tech stuff. A LCD is made up of two parts, the panel and the backlight. It works by shining this light through the glass which has the pixels. TN and IPS are types of the glass. IPS is known for its superior angles. LED and CCFL are ...

No, just the inverter I think. The LED mod was made for the T60 series machines. I could probably get an inverter PCB manufactured in the US for a few dollars a board.

Objection, Your Honor! That UXGA-link is for a LED-mod, which ONLY applies to 15" T60 and/or R60/R61. T43/p can NOT work with such a screen. When there is a will there is a way. Break out the SOLDERING IRON AND EAGLECAD!!! :twisted: I don't have the first clue on how to build a LED board, go ask ni...

I'm on a hunt for my 'dream machine' a 386 laptop with some specs and my efforts elsewhere have been fruitless so I figure maybe I try here. 386-486 16-40Mhz. Maybe a 286 I could consider. Brand doesn't matter. IBM, Zenith, anything. Preferably a B+W STN display. If it is color I'll still look at it...

That LCD is so rare that you might be looking for a few years before you find one.

They do connect with IDE.

Yes it is but the capion is first world problems.

Ok, found what I needed there. Wow, the HMM has everything. Thanks RBS. It also answered my second question of will it run on 12V.

Can someone give me the pinout of the 750/755C/360 battery pinout for positive and negative along with a picture of how the pins are layed out in the machine? Two simple pictures is all I need.

But my IBM 5151(actually a PGS Max-12) monitor is going to get burn-in!

I always let my machines go to sleep when left alone, I wojt put a screensaver on them because RBS is right. nVidia chips have enough problems, why work then for nothing?

Biggest question: what is your primary use for the tablet? If it is going in the car as a navigation device, grt the miix. If you plan on using it as a painting tool, get the Venue. Etc..

I'm running this ultra-light weight distro that happens to support many modern prgrams and plays very nicely with old computers. It is Windows 98

Haha. Just kidding. I run Ubuntu on my test machines but I will never use it on a daily driver.

My daily driver X220 i7-2640M has died :cry: . Troubleshooting so far: 30 second power button w/ no power. Removed slice and regular battery, slice appears to be dead. Used dock to press button, nothing. Machine has NO signs of life, no Thinklight flash, no green light, nothing. Dead. Anything I can...

Checked that earlier to no avail.

Does the machine have a SoundBlaster or Adlib compatible card?

If a wire pops loose from the mod and shorts out on the AC side of the PSU, the power supply and my devive are both equally screwed.

Find the PSU feedback chip that monitors the outputs and make a new voltage resistor divider to raise the 12V to 15V. Perfectly within the rectifier output voltages. I did this to power a toshiba notebook years ago. Cheers, thinkpadcollection I could place a pull up resistor on my left mouse button...
