Thanks for the replies, guys. Yes, I know that TN displays will never be able to equal the quality reached by IPS screens. What I was most curious about though was whether my particular TN screen was worse than most TN screens. After having a chance to look over several coworkers 14.1" T43 and T60 m...

If the color quality on your LCD is really bothering you so much I would say return it within the 21 day period and order another one with IPS screen if that is available..Once you are over that period, you do not have any option other than to live with it. I'm reluctant to do a return and reorder ...

Following six weeks of waiting, my T61 finally arrived Monday. After setting it up and using it for the last few days, I'm not at all impressed with the LCD screen on the unit I received. I ordered a T61 (Type: 6377, Model: CTO) with a 14.1" WXGA LCD w/camera. According to the information I have fro...

On older ThinkPads, up through the T4x series, I've been able to install a custom BIOS splash screen per the directions on ThinkWiki (http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/How_to_change_the_BIOS_bootsplash_screen_%28under_Windows%29) Two questions: Has anyone tried this on a T61? Has anyone tried this on an...

That's the classic sign the CMOS battery is shot. Replace it and you should be back in business.

The kit you received is incomplete. I've got a screw kit that was ordered earlier this year for my T43. FRU 13R2916. DOM 2006-09-25. Inside there's a sheet of 20 round screw covers (along with just about every other screw and cover under the sun for 3 or 4 machines). Call IBM Parts and request a rep...

Looks like I'll be waiting a while.

Does this one take a PATA or SATA drive? If the later, I'll buy it.

I had the same thing happen on the T43 in my sig and a Dock II (Type 2877) when the motherboard on the T43 died without warning. There is an emergency release mechanism built into the Dock II. On the right side of the dock, about one inch to the left of the lock, there is a small oval-shaped hole. W...

T43

Type/Model: 2668-BJU
Manufactured: 12/26/2005

I'd be shocked if anyone else on the forum has the same machine type and model as me (as this was a CTO unit). Specs are in my sig.

Okay, played a 20-minute game of Defcon with TP FCU running and got some interesting results. About five minutes into the game, I started hearing beeps from within the system. Something like BEEP <four second pause> BEEP <four second pause> BEEP ... . It did that at several times during the game. Wh...

Thanks for the quick reply Chris. As far as I can tell, there are no major airflow restrictions in my machine. I took a can of compressed air to the system a few days ago and got out a bit of dust here and there, but nothing extraordinary. As for the RPMs, post away. Though where are you getting the...

Hello, Recently the T43 in my sig has begun to go haywire. When I put the CPU and/or GPU under load, the system temp now rises like mad. Up until a couple of weeks ago, the CPU temp would reach 70C max under sustained load. Now, my CPU hits ~86C under load and rose to 92C the other day during a 20-m...

Did IdeaStyle pull the listing for the 15" version of this sleeve? I can find the 12" version on its eBay store but not the 15" version I need.

If anyone's got a direct link I'd appreciate it.

PM sent.

They sound about the same (so long as AAM is properly enabled on the 7K100).

To JHEM: Thanks! Now I need to order one (and of course, IBM Parts lookup says it's not available online). To davidspalding: This is what I understand 13N5108 to be: http://ok2.de/images/product_images/info_images/377_0.jpg Has anybody called IBM parts about 62P4557 or 13N5108? I just got my Dock II...

At my university, Symantec Antivirus Corporate Edition is given to each student. At last check they were giving out version 10.0.x. That said, I don't use it and neither do any of the techs I work with here. AVG is popular and so is Avast! (the later of which I use and can attest to). Symantec Corpo...

I hate to rain on the parade, but it looks like the Ultrabay 2000 to Ultrabay Slim converter has been discontinued. From the document here , "Effective withdrawal date: 28 Apr 2006". IBM Parts lookup doesn't show Part Number 62P4557 available any longer. A Pricegrabber search says a few merchants ha...

Interesting. I have the 80 GB 7K100 (it's the factory drive with my T43). Once in a blue moon I hear a noise like the OP described (about once a month). Otherwise performance is fine. One thing to check is AAM. On my machine, it was disabled by the factory, and on first bootup I was pretty certain I...

Got one for me (for a different ThinkPad than the one in my sig).

Now if only someone would sell me one for the 15" size for the machine in my sig....

So this sleeve is for the 14.1" or the 15" T series machines (or both?)?

I for one want one if they fit the 15" size.

My T43 did come with a built in microphone. If you look carefully at stock photos of the T4x series, you will see two small holes just above the ESC key on the keyboard--the microphone is there. It works just fine for my Skype calls, etc.

I would like to report on a positive experience with AlphaKilo470. I sold him an Epson ActionNote 4SLC-50 laptop. Alex was quick in replying to PMs and was prompt on payment. I have nothing but praise for AlphaKilo470 and have no hesitation in recommending him to others.

Okay I have had some glitchy "twilight zone" occurrances with this site lately too. Case in point: I received a PM notification email timestamped 4:01 am Sunday (the 16th). I tried to log into the site at ~8:30 am Sunday morning and everything was screwed up. I was able to get to my mailbox and see ...

Hello, I was out cleaning through the garage when I stumbled upon my old laptop from the mid-90s, an EPSON ActionNote 4SLC2-50. I'd forgotton I still had the darn thing! Before sending it off to the scrap heap, I thought I'd see if anyone around here wants the parts from it for their older thinkpad ...

Well, at least I know I'm not alone.

So the ruling school of thought is that this is an Exceed issue, or an IBM driver bug, or something else entirely?

I can live without the touchpad (grrr), but the lock-ups are driving me crazy.

bump

Surely someone else has had this problem?
