Re: WTB: Lenovo T60/1/p Ultrabay Serial/Parallel Port Adapter

I've got two pieces now in my hands, got source for likely ten or fifteen more pieces, including original pouch.

Seller wants ~10€ for a piece, which is not really low price - but let me know if you are still interested.

Re: Recovery Media for IBM ThinkPad S30?

Thanks, got them - but these does not seems to be full recovery images, they do not contain original operating system or drivers - just some "junk" software (I say junk because I even cannot translate what is it for, no offense :wink: )

Re: WTB: Thinkpad s30/s31

Thank guys for replies/tips. Just few minutes ago, I found two of them in Japan - and bought. They are on the way :-) I will probably keep just one, and pass the other one to another EU thinkpad fans.
Locking thread as solved.

Re: Feature Suggestion Thread for the Fan Control Utility

I'm not sure if there is any more development, but I would appreciate time-based (and possibly geolocation based) profile switching. At home, there is absolutely no space for any fan noise, I want calm there. On the other side, at work, i'm usualy drown over by stack of cisco switches, server or any...

Re: Upgrading X220/X230 to FHD 1080p

Now, after resoldering F1 fuse, problem continues - but only with Nitrocaster board, LVDS works correctly. Seems more has been fried, display and/or cable. Or, at worse, ataptor board :evil:

Re: Upgrading X220/X230 to FHD 1080p

Yep, I have found board layout schemes and circuit schematics, it looks to be F2 or F6 fuse. unfortunately on the backside :-( good news is I have spare X220 board, which uses the same fusing, so I will resolder it and let know. EDIT: both F2 and F6 fuses are OK, also getting 3.3V voltage on them. B...

Re: Upgrading X220/X230 to FHD 1080p

I finally found it!

There was small piece of copper debris fallen inside docking connector. During inspection, it was not visible - hidden by connector dust cover. Cleaned connector by compressed air and my X230 is just better than new, no blinks so far :-)
