Why?

Sorry, it's probably no luck on the ThinkPad UltraBay Slim Serial/Parallel port adapter. Have a look at this thread:

I recently had my hands on a T60p, and I checked the connectors in the UltraBay Slim port. The T60p has a third connector, located between the regular data/power connector (for optical drives, etc.) and the battery connector. This connector is absent from the UltraBay Slim port of my T41. I can only...

It's very easy. Refer to the HMM. It looks harder than it really is. I have upgraded both my T41 systems to Pentium M 765 and they work perfectly, with no thermal issues. The speed boost is SIGNIFICANT. I refer to my babies as T42 systems now

I can live with the new keyboard, although the Windows keys are a useless annoyance. What really hurts, though, is the lack of a touchpad-free palm rest option. My beloved A31p never had a touchpad, and both my T42 systems have had the touchpad eliminated by swapping-in the appropriate palm rest. C'...

Here is a link to the Lenovo policy on faulty pixels and panel replacement:

Dead pixels are grounds for panel replacement in some cases.

Does anyone know whether the ThinkPad Serial / Parallel Port Bay Adapter (40Y8121) would work in a T41? It's an Ultrabay Slim device, so it's a possibility...

Try booting with the suspect monitor connected directly to the ThinkPad, without using the docking station. If that works, try again with the docking station.

Try forcing XP to load the same driver for the SlimSCSI card on the T60p that you're using on the A30p.

I can understand how getting (or setting) the BIOS supervisor password could allow an attacker to clear the security chip, thereby mounting a denial-of-service attack. Ugly, and unrecoverable. On the other hand, is the passphrase information stored in the security chip itself at risk? That is to say...

I have a T41 attached to a Dock II. I am using a Radeon 9200SE (PCI) video adapter in the Dock II. This allows me to have three independent displays: 1) the internal ThinkPad LCD 2) a 19-inch LCD panel at 1280x1024 on the Dock II DVI port 3) a 20-inch LCD panel at 1600x1200 on the DVI port of the Ra...

You can clear the security chip. No password is required to do this.
After you clear the security chip, all encrypted data on the machine will be unavailable -- all encrypted data on the machine will be lost forever.

Isn't there a BIOS setting that determines whether that partition is visible or not?

Turn them off one-by-one, and if you run into a problem boot into safe mode and turn the problematic one back on.

I strongly recommend that you remove all stickers (except the ThinkPad sticker in its recess) from the palmrest immediately upon receipt of the system. The stickers will eventually wear out, and when you finally do remove them they will reveal fresh, un-worn palmrest-plastic underneath. The result w...

If you do a CPU upgrade and subsequently have a problem that requires warranty service, just reinstall the old CPU.
A CPU upgrade on a T4x doesn't require the breaking of any seals -- there's no real way to tell that it's been done (or un-done).

"Mobile Pentium 4-M" and "Pentium M" are different processors with different microarchitectures.
They are NOT pin-compatible -- if they were, I would upgrade my A31p immediately.

The 765 is the fastest Pentium M you can get with 400MHz FSB. I upgraded my T41 from 1.6GHz Banias to Pentium M 765, and I used MobileMeter to track temperatures before and after. The 765 runs about 2 celsius degrees warmer at idle than the Banias did (57-vs-55) and about 4 celsius degrees hotter at...

Get a full dock, and install a video card in it. Then you can use the ThinkPad LCD, an external monitor connected to the DVI port of the dock, and yet another monitor connected to the video card -- all at the same time.

The 160GB Seagate works perfectly as the primary in my T41.

I second the opinion of Gustavo -- sort of. I've got an A31p, upgraded to the 2.6GHz Mobile P4, with the 15" UXGA FlexView display -- and a T41, upgraded to the Pentium M 765, with the 14.1" XGA display. The T41 is as fast as my friends' T43 systems, but I do wish I had the bigger, more dense UXGA d...

I can only guess -- and I really mean guess -- that it's something to do with the USB hub in the mini-dock.

T4x internal drive bay takes drives of max height 9.5mm -- if your old drive is 12mm, you're out of luck.

Just to be sure -- you're using the mini-dock, not the port replicator, right?

I've fallen in love with the new software installer!

I installed from a (legal) Windows XP SP2 VLM CD. My HDD is the 160GB Seagate and it has no service partition so I don't think the diskette you so kindly linked to will help me -- and it worries me that the linked page is talking about a BIOS flash! When this worked before, I had installed from the ...

If you still want help with this, I am willing to assist you.
I offer my 1000+ perfect eBay feedback as bona fides.
Send me an email and let me know.

I gave mine a good cleaning with "Formula 409" and it seemed to get rid of what I thought were fairly serious scratches on the lid.
