If the UEFI allows it, otherwise no. Assuming that the registers related to Turbo Boost are not locked by the UEFI, you will have a 400 MHz boost on all cores (3.7 GHz on 1 core, 3.4 GHz on 2 cores). Change? Not much, as your T440s would be thermal throttling or hitting its power limits. I say it wo...

Try running your DOS games with DOS/32A. That worked for me with some games that didn't want to start with DOS/4GW.

Yes.

It's a simple modification, but I believe that nobody wants to roll a dice on the optical drive's bezel compatibility. There is a chance where the bezel might not fit, due to the plastic latches' positions being slightly or completely off.

As far as the FRU/part numbers are concerned, there have been new drives released since the HMM or website has been published/updated so I would go entirely by the name of the drive. To be 100% sure that whatever drive you buy will work inside your T430, I'd look for "Serial Ultrabay Enhanced" driv...

How feasible is it to swap to a 1400x1050 15" G41 display? That would heavily depend on your budget. Or does that require the fx 5200 go? It does not. Some factory G40 configurations came with a 1400x1050 panel. All you need is a G40/G41 SXGA+ (1400x1050) cable, otherwise all 1400x1050 panels will ...

I get beeps: long-short-short-short, short-short-short-long. According to the UEFI/BIOS error and beep codes page , this could possibly mean that there's something wrong with your new RAM modules. When I replace one of the 8GB modules with one of the 4GB modules it successfully POSTs, but the 8GB m...

and the only thinkpad able to support that is the W510 Outside the 15.6-inch class, the W701 and the W701ds are capable of supporting the Core i7-920XM/940XM as well. Would it fit properly, would it need simple modifications or is it just impossible to do? Yes and no. You need to source some parts ...

but upon closer inspection it looks to me that it's a 2.5 inch form factor drive with 40 pin IDE(?) interface, plus 8 more pins for power? It doesn't look like it's meant for power. The entire drive itself looks like a 3.5-inch hard drive shrunken down to the 2.5-inch size and had its standard Mole...

I believe it is 1.5 mm thick. That is what I found on my T410, which features a chassis that is similar to the T430's chassis.

I no longer have a T410, but I do remember that I had no issues from using a 1.5 mm Fujipoly Sarcon XR-m thermal pad.

If I have the expresscard and GPU in it won't boot past the splash screen. UEFI splash screen, I assume? If I plug it in afterwards the operating systems (W10 or Arch Linux) complain that either there's not enough memory for the device or that the memory region assigned is invalid. This is a sign o...

But the main thing is, you want to verify the cpu in a program called cpu-z. That will correctly state what it is. Not necessarily, I do believe that I misidentified your Core 2 Duo E8135 (SLAQA) as a Core 2 Duo SP9400 engineering sample (QZNM). CPU-Z did the same as well, making the identification...

Uh, I don't handle the models' organization here. Bill does.

All I did was to point out their forum boards, that's about it.

Post-classic/Modern models: ThinkPad T430-T490 / T530-T590 Series This is the appropriate subforum board for the T430, T430s, T430i, T430si, T430u, T431s, T440, T440s, T440p, T450, T450s, T460, T460s, T460p, T470, T470s, T470p, T480, T480s, T490, T490s, T495, T495s, T530, T530i, T540p, T550, T560, ...

Yes, as there are no video signals going back to the P71's display panel. I believe the maximum is 64 GB. I've never seen a Kaby Lake or a Skylake-based system with four 2Rx8 32 GB RAM modules, but I did see some of them with 2Rx4 32 GB RAM modules. Those won't work in a non-server Kaby Lake/Skylake...

the RTX5000 card in laptops such as the Dell Precision and HP ZBook use the same MXM graphics card slot as the P71 has. The Precision machines don't. The Precision 7540 and 7740 utilize a proprietary daughtercard that does not fit in MXM slots of any kind (Dell Graphics Form Factor or DGFF for shor...

Also just to be clear only the xx40 series have the pointing device problems With the exception of the E445, E545, and the W541. the xx50 and later gave back the trackpoint buttons but unfortunately never the touchpad buttons. Not exactly. The P50, P51, P52, P53, P70, P71, P72, and the P73 retained...

No. Your T440s' platform controller doesn't officially support NVMe SSDs, which is one of the requirements needed for Optane Memory to function.

TPFanControl reads the temperature sensors that are used by the BIOS, but one important thing to note is that they are temperature sensors mounted on the motherboard. They are not the temperature sensors built into the processor or the graphics chip's die. The processor and the graphics chip are ver...

Was there ever a competitor to the UltraBay NumPad? I would think something might of been made during the 90's by a competitor. Doubt it. The numeric keypad was an extremely niche product from what I can see, so I don't quite see a reason for others to follow. Unless you consider the dumb Bay Proje...

Also for this thing, why do I have to modify the RAM speed for both DIMMs to get it to work stable? I don't know why. It could be the overclock that's doing something, or the RAM modules of questionable quality that you have. Remember, this is a Latitude that we're messing with. This is some hardwa...

There's a lot of stuff around that doesn't match and/or exist in HMMs and PSREFs but does so IRL. It's always been that way in my experience.

Ah, alright then. I suppose that basing my observations from the hardware maintenance manuals were pointless if that's the case.

So what you are saying is I should flash my DDR333 modules to run at the speed of DDR200 and then the overclock will bring it back to 266? According to the memory dividers available for the 82855GM, yes. Also am I supposed to do the flashing on that laptop itself or I can be safe and do it on anoth...

That would depend on your Latitude D400's memory controller. If it's an 82855GME, you'll be forced to use enthusiast-class DDR400 RAM modules to maximize stability. If it's not an 82855GME and it's just a plain 82855GM, you'll need the average/regular DDR400 RAM modules. However, if you are familiar...

Unfortunately, I've never owned an X40 in my life. That means I have to resort to guessing the phase-locked loop's position, and additionally I could be wrong as well.

You'll have to figure it out by yourself, or hopefully somebody else could help you out.

It doesn't exist. The hardware maintenance manual that you have referenced from, is an outdated edition. The latest edition that I am aware of, is the 6th edition and it does not contain an entry for the 'Ultrabay Enhanced battery'. The only two editions that I'm aware of which contained this strang...

In the Nvidia drivers I have found Was the driver downloaded from NVIDIA 's website, or Lenovo 's website? none appear to support the SUBSYS_21D017AA and the install process ends prematurely with a "Hardware not found" error. This would be expected if you were using NVIDIA's generic universal drive...

According to the ThinkWiki, it's IEEE 1394a-2000.

400 MBit/s or 50 MByte/s, but I'd expect some overhead to bring it down below its theoretical maximum speed.

I have most of these parts, with the exception of the slimline IDE DVD drive and the US keyboard. The keyboard is in... Japanese.

If you are willing to pay the exorbitant shipping cost, let me know.

Which one i have to consider trusty and which should be tuned with an offset? Both can be trusted, if you don't mind the temperature difference between the CPU's motherboard temperature sensor and it's on-die temperature sensor. Although, the on-die temperature sensor is way more accurate as it's q...

Just about the first thing I did with it was boot it into Parted Magic and check the HDD's SMART data, and it didn't look all that good Very vague, but I would assume that the HDD is close to death. A second assumption is that part of the HDD which stores the Predesktop Area's data has been corrupt...
