Looks to me like the broken plastic is around the CPU fan exhaust vent. Probably have to replace the entire base. Not worth the trouble IMHO. The 8GB RAM is most likely 2x4GB, because 8GB sticks are rather expensive. I have 2x4GB RAM in my T430 also, and looked into upgrading to 16GB a little while ...

Should un-install, if that's what you wish to happen.

Here is a better explanation than i could ever come up with on my own: https://forums.techguy.org/threads/reso ... 98.200625/

You don't really have to have the maintenance diskette to replace a system board. Most replacement boards you can find now are not new anyway, and will probably have a serial number and system type numbers already in place. It won't match your system, but will work non-the-less. Brand new boards wou...

No not much difference. If the price is close to the same, I would probably choose the i7, but if it's much more I doubt most folks would notice any difference at all under normal circumstances. If it was 2 vs 4 cores at similar clock speeds... now that would be another matter.

To address this, I want to remove the CMOS battery - can you please just give me a hint if this is a waste of time? Unlike some other computer brands, removing the CMOS battery will not clear an unknown ThinkPad BIOS password. It will likely only make matters worse. The rules of this forum (rightfu...

You should already be subscribed to your own posts, nothing more to do. If the board shows you to be subscribed, then I suspect you are. What more are you expecting to happen?

On occasion I've used running water to clean a ThinkPad keyboard, and as long as I've given it enough time to dry out completely, it has not caused any problems. Maybe a little more time and your keyboard will work again. But, if not, have you tried to find a Danish replacement? It's not very easy t...

What is the batteries condition?

So I can use this?

Sure. Or have one shipped from China for about half the price.

Have you tried entering your serial number at this site? - https://pcsupport.lenovo.com/us/en/prod ... /contactus

OK, so this topic is more "How to Install Guest Additions in VirtualBox", than "Getting Files into an OS/2 VirtualBox VM". Once VirtualBox is install and you have installed a guest OS on VirtualBox, go to the menu bar at the top of VirtualBox, select "Devices" and the last item on the menu list will...

File transfer between VirtualBox guest and host is a network connection. File sharing must be enabled on both systems, then files can be shared between the two just like between any other physical computers on the network.

Hmm, according to the published specs, 1GB is the maximum.

I've also seen bad batteries prevent a ThinkPad from booting. Have you tried leaving battery out and boot on AC only?

Even though you don't have a W98SE installation CD, the CAB files you need may be somewhere on the hard drive. At least that is the way I ways installed W95 and W98SE on my machines, plus I think W98 automatically copies all setup-files from the CD-ROM to the harddisk during install. Check your syst...

I don't have a T430 to check this on (none of my 20 or so ThinkPads even have an "Airplane Mode"), but the only thing I can think of that you have not already tried is a BIOS switch (if such even exits). Have you poked around in the BIOS looking for wifi settings?

Oh! Never owned or used an IBM desktop, so not at all familiar with those model numbers.

Hi John, welcome to the ThinkPad forum. What is an S51? I've never heard of that model ThinkPad.

Due to an addressing limitation in the Intel 945PM and 945GM chipsets, even if you install 4GB, only 3GB will be available for use. Even if you install a 64-bit CPU, and use a 64-bit OS, the chipset limitation is still present.

Maybe... But first let's determine if something else is the cause. Remove the battery and drain the static charge like you've done in the past, only this time do not replace the main battery. Now try to boot (I suspect this could be caused by a bad battery). Another possible cause is a faulty keyboa...

Congrats RBS, you have been a wealth of information for this forums over the years. Certainly helped me numerous times. Keep up the good work!

Could this friend have a T61 instead of T60? If so, that would explain the difference. But, I suspect the friend just doesn't know the details. Probably has 4Gig installed, and the BIOS shows 4Gig, so they think they are using 4Gig, when in reality only 3Gig (or maybe 3.2GB) is actually usable.

Check to make sure the keyboard connector is seated properly.

Not sure, but doesn't the 600E BIOS have the option to "Initialize HDD"?

There should be no issue using a 40GB HDD to it's full capacity. The 4GB FAT32 limit is file size, not HDD capacity. Yes, I've many times done sys C: and copied the CAB files from a CD on one computer, then swapped that HDD into a ThinkPad to complete the Win98 installation. Works a charm. I've also...

It's probably over twenty years old, but the method worked for me several times in the past.
