Re: Middleton's T61 T9500 stuck at 1197mhz

Very strange. The charging fuse on the motherboard is most likely blown. It can be replaced, but the procedure requires proper testing with a multimeter and good soldering skills. Of which I am overqualified for both, have a strong EE background and IPC certified. Where is this fuse located and whe...

Re: Middleton's T61 T9500 stuck at 1197mhz

Well something interesting happened, I dusted off my old T60 and dropped it in there and it charged up just fine. Now, if I put it back in the T61, the chip runs normal at 2.6ghz like it's supposed to but the battery will not charge, and if I plug it in and unplug it, Windows still thinks it's plugg...

Re: Middleton's T61 T9500 stuck at 1197mhz

That fixed it, i'm up to 2.6ghz now and the performance is night and day but the question remains, what is dropping it to 1.2ghz? The only thing I can think, and Throttlestop covered this, I have a 3rd party battery and maybe it's having trouble charging, on the OEM Lenovo adapter, I just bought it ...

Middleton's T61 T9500 stuck at 1197mhz

So I built up a 15.4" T61, with 8gb RAM, SSD and T9500. I flashed Middleton's before the upgrade, that went well. Everything was fine but when I look in Speccy it's only showing a CPU speed of 1197mhz with a 6x multi. I've tried setting it to Max Performance in BIOS and none of the power settings wi...

Re: E545 Meltdown

If you happen to see this I'm looking for an E545 with a dead motherboard and a good case to swap all my stuff into.

Re: [GUIDE] Make your T60 with ATI run *cool* (and quiet)

I would like to say on the stock cooler and crappy thermal paste I enabled Maximum Battery Life and it will get the temps down to 50*C but you take a performance hit. In Win 7 64bit (which I somehow got working) it's not too bad but noticeable. 4gb RAM helps. I'm running the T7200 with the ATi graph...

Re: T70 with Quad Core i7 mobo for T6x is coming!!

How hard would it be to add a ZIF socket? Also some modern graphics would be nice. Anything that plays Halflife 2 and CS:S hell the integrated graphics could probably pull that off

SSD I would think, if it's mini-PCIe

Looking for smoked E545

I want to swap all my good stuff into it, mine has been upgraded to A10-5750, 1tb HDD and 16gb RAM. 100% ebay and...
