Production years of T42?
Does anyone know until when the T42 was built? According to information I found on the net, it was launched sometime in mid-2004, but couldn't find out when IBM stopped the production.

Re: X31- no signs of life. Need help debugging
I have exactly the same problem with my X31.
I would too be interested to know which capacitor you swapped out. A picture would be fantastic.

Hey Stuart, I don't have a specific brand to recommend, any brand will do the job these days. Get a DVD burner with DVD-RAM writing feature. This is especially nice, since you can format a DVD-RAM media and drag-and-drop files from the harddrive to the disc as if you would copy files between two har...

Incredible Euro / Dollar rate
Today Euro hit the $1.60 mark, probably an all-time high. Some of you may already know, but Thinkpad prices are simply ridiculous in Germany. To give you an idea, just take the US prices, replace the $ sign with EUR and there you have the retail prices of a Thinkpad here. Yes, we are talking about a...

Thanks for taking the time to test it and post here.richk wrote:Up to 3GB was fine. Finally, after I figured out the problem, I gave up and went back to 32-bit.
I was playing with the idea to go with 64-bit just for the 4GB RAM, but what you have posted above doesn't sound good at all.
Again, thanks.

I am a happy owner of a 5 yrs old X31 and I still love it. After purchasing it, I replaced the HDD with a 7200rpm one and installed 2GB memory. Compared to the 4200rpm HDD that came on the machine, the new HDD made a huge difference. The only down side is the limited amount of VGA memory (16mb), I w...
