So the x200 Booted in 32 seconds using a 7200 RPM HDD? I'm not seeing any boot times for the x200 listed. The only one I can find is here, listed at "under 55 seconds" http://reviews.digitaltrends.com/review/5403-27023-1/lenovo-thinkpad-x200-review-testing-and-conclusion The 32 seconds I listed bef...

Didn't they use a SSD drive for both of these tests in both cases? I thought both reviews used a SSD drive for the tests when they did the review for the X200 and X301. Using SSD's with their top processors on each unit, which unit will have quicker boot times and open applications better? Also whi...

It's because boot time is more dependent on the harddrive than the processor (and the SSD will be faster than a regular harddrive). In processor-intensive tests, the x200 will do much better. For some reason the guy in the x301 review didn't do a wprime 32m test, but for some reference, the x200 (2....

you need to call them. they have replacement parts, theyre just not listed on the website yet.

it's also in the x200 data sheet on lenovo's website under the 'related resources' (http://shop.lenovo.com/SEUILibrary/controller/e/web/LenovoPortal/en_US/catalog.workflow:category.details?current-catalog-id=12F0696583E04D86B9B79B0FEC01C087¤t-category-id=135A781CA29B4ECB9ADAD8E72CF6FD61) http:...

Thanks for the help everyone. I ran a virus scan in safe mode, did a rootkit scan, and did a virus scan with activescan (couldn't get kaspersky to work), and they all came up pretty empty. Luckily, i had a system restore point from yesterday, so I restored it to then, and everything seems to be OK r...

I think i accidentally installed a virus. I clicked on the install program for some program i downloaded yesterday, and it immediately disappeared. I figured I was f-d and immediately turned off my wireless connection, and a minute later i got a message telling me i was trying to connect to the inte...

Just a guess: maybe that keyboard is provided by one manifacturer only, thus they don't need to specify its name... Nah, that's just not the right page. It's kind of tricky to find, and I can't seem to find it now again. You can also just push the 'access ibm' button (or whatever the blue button is...

Sad to hear that LENOVO is downgrading the Thinkpad quality... :cry: IBM Thinkpad Legendary era is fading and dissapearing soon :( Haha. My friend's t42 is exactly the same as the first picture. It looks to me like you just have keyboards from two different manufacturers (the same manufacturers tha...

I have a T42(specs below). I'm just wondering how to check if your fans are still working without conflict with NHC. I just installed nhc and i cant seem to hear my fan. my cpu is about 48-54C and hdd at about 39-43C. Does the fan kick in at like 60C(cpu) or so? is there a program diagnostic to che...

Frankly I havent tried RM clock utility but seeing as how NHC monitors temps, undervolts and displays a battery applet to view battery life - I really have no need for any other program. rm clock is fine, but NHC is a lot more user friendly (to me) and has some more features. For some reason, NHC c...

for example. press D,F,G....keeping all 3 pressed and u get the annoying loud beep. how do I disable this nuisance. :?: thanks There is no way, Sorry.. not true! http://zurich.ai.mit.edu/hypermail/t...4-06/0075.html Go to Device Manager and "Show Hidden Devices".

work perfectly to throttle down the multipliers voltage of your processor speed. Let say from 6x-14x multiplication.

That's what I use. Although rmclock is not the most user friendly, once you get it set up you don't have to mess with it again.

39T0734 39T0765 KEYBOARD FRU YES That is what I got. I guess it does not tell what it is. I am not in the mood to dismantle the keyboard. I guess that is only way to find it out. No, there is also a part lookup on lenovo's site. It will tell you which keyboard, screen, etc that you have. It's been ...

To follow up on this topic, is there anyway to get my T40 to run off main battery first then Ultrabay battery? As i'll rather conserve the life of the ultrabay battery as they are harder to find and more expensive than the main battery. Mines currently at 99 charge cycles with about 15Wh of full ch...

Changing the resolution will degrade image clarity but you can increase the default font size in Windows which helps quite a bit. To do this, right click on an unoccupied piece of your desktop, hit properties, appearance, select extra large fonts, apply. Native resolution WILL NOT degrade image qua...

I saw this in one of the auctions: Q: How many cycles does this battery have on it? (This can be checked with ThinkVantage Power Monitor.) TIA. A: We don't have testing equipment....they have been as low as 3 and most around 20-40 Get two or three? I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and assume h...

I apologize, twas not appropriate for a public post. I just wanted xzjn9p not to be offended, that he was not alone. Even the best of the best (me :P) had been there. Also sorry brentpresley, I have removed you from my 'people to kill' list [billy madison reference...], as well as removed the commen...

When I had my t43 and my girlfriend's t60 sitting next to each other for a couple days, the t60 was noticeably cooler at all times. I didn't have any temp reading program on the t60, so I can't tell you the numbers, but there was a pretty big difference, especially when it got warm in the room (no a...

i know it sounds creepy but it seems the best way is to have it as said with abit less than 40% and in a fridge! not kidding but yes, fridge. you wrap it in paper and then in a zipping plastic bag. seems to be the best way, i was surprised as well, but there lies my two other batteries for 6 months...

I would say that is not normal at all. I can't get any screen wobble or any screen distortion, even when I try.

Between the t43 and t60, I don't see much reason to get the t43 unless it's cheaper. Last time I looked they were the same price, so I would definitely go with the t60. Also, the t43 runs hotter than the t60 (and the fan runs more), in my experience, which also points me toward the t60. I would only...

With IBM support, home or buisness, you get some good old boys in Atlanta. Sure they've got just as much of an accent as Hajitech, but at least they speak english. Home or buisness they'll send you a replacement part without quesiton and will overnight it. Their personel is knowledgable and friendl...

An easy way to check temperatures is mobilemeter: http://www.geocities.co.jp/SiliconValley-Oakland/8259/ It was recommended somewhere on this site. Maybe on fan control thread. It doesn't show fan speed but I don't need that capability for T42. From reports above it sounds like T60 usually runs muc...

Not sure about that part number dealy you got there, but here is ram that will work:

the latest version of CHC has no conflict with TPFC ? Some people report running NHC and TP fan control without a problem, as long as they disable the temp readings in NHC. However, for some reason, it doesn't work for everyone. I cannot run NHC or CHC and TPFC at the same time, no matter what I do...

Yep, and next year there will be a t61p with kickass specs at the same price as that t60. Such is life (and technology).

Just re-read my post and saw how it might be mis-interpreted. I actually meant that he was trying to get a laugh. I know that I try to see humor in every situation that I can. So, comment was meant to be humorous but I forgot to put in my smilies. There, see, I forgot to do it again. Ah, no worries...

Geez, give the guy a break. He didn't know it was the heat that was the problem. As the others said, as long as you keep something between the computer and the giblets, you should be alright. I just use a book or binder, and when that gets warm, I switch it out for another. If you do this a lot, it ...

FYI - Dothan referrs to the CPU, and Sonoma referrs to the chipset. Dothan shipped in BOTH the T42 and the T43. Only difference was T42 were 400MHz FSB Dothans, and T43 were 533MHz FSB Dothans. Really, what does that matter here? I wasn't being specific intentionally, because it isn't the point. Th...
