Thanks for your reply! So you don't use any correction value for your hard drive? What type of hard drive do you have?
Thanks again!

Hi everyone, I'm trying to use thinkfan on my X61s but could not find a reliable source for good values in /etc/thinkfan.conf After reading a few forums for an hour or so, I've found that I needed these lines on /etc/thinkfan.conf : (0, 0, 55) (1, 48, 60) (2, 50, 61) (3, 52, 63) (4, 56, 65) (5, 59, ...

Please, please, please, be quick to post photos and review when you get'em!

Nice story Typing this post and at the same time, running tlp recalibrate on my X61s : Middleton Bios, 250 GB SSD and 8 GB RAM for now. Absolutely perfect for what I use it for : light browsing, file editing (LaTeX editing mainly). And 4:3 ratio is the best !

Thanks everyone for replying to me! I finally got a battery from ebay, with 82% remaining capacity... and 0 cycle count. I guess it was a pretty good deal. Battery was made in 2008...

Hi everyone!

Does anyone try to 3d print a X61s battery spacer? Would you have any 3d plans or know where to get one?

Thanks!

Hi, title says it all : I'm looking for experts advice in finding a X61s battery. So far, I've found some sellers on eBay (mainly shipping from HK) : are there some better options? More generally, what do I have to look carefully before buying a battery?
Thanks!

What a pity you only ship continental US :p
Nice machine !

More than ready! It seems all units are scheduled to ship between 15th and 17-18th of September, by DHL (reddit). So, hopefully, we'll get a review at the end of September

Hi RealBlackStuff : thanks for your answer ! The processor (Core 2 Duo it seems) on my X61s is able to handle a 64-bit OS, right ? That's just for confirmation. I'll definitely try to squeeze a few more years of this laptop : I love the format, and it's mainly used for work (LaTeX editing/compiling,...

Hi everyone, I'm a bit noob... so, excuse me if it's a silly question : I own a X61s with currently 2x512 Mo RAM (DDR2 PC5300). I'd like to add some memory : according to the manual, I can only put up to 2x2Go RAM in, and only DDR-667 PC5300. I've read on this forum that any X61* would accept up to ...
