No it's not going into standby, if that were the case i'd be prompted for a password or fingerprint. The monitor is just turing off and saying no signal. If I open the lid of the laptop the screen comes right back on.

I want to be able to close the lid of my laptop and keep the external display active, becoming the primary monitor... not just an extention of the lcd. Every time i close the laptop the external monitor shuts off, and I have no idea how to fix it. I have it set to Do nothing in power options when th...

mine clicked funny when the arrow keys were pressed. they sounded very loose, so i called and a new one was at my house the next day! plus, i didn't have to send my old one back

i have the 1.25 bios and there were no problems w/ my hd password

What difference does it make if your machine is running the way you want? If no CPU is saved (in my case), then there is only memory to save, and since I have spare memory, there isn't much to worry about. I once listed all my processes just to see, and there wasn't anything to remove of any conseq...

Only 40 processes running, consisting of.. Clean install of Windows XP Whatever thinkpad software the IBM software installer defaulted into running AVG Antivirus software GAIM Bittorrent ZoneAlarms NHC (notebook hardware control) PGP (Pretty Good Privacy) Firefox I think 60 is a bit much. Even my d...

right now, with just the thinkpad pre-installed applications running i have ~60 processes on at all times... This is with firefox and taskmanager included. I also have the CSS software installed. How many do you guys have running?

that same thing happens to me, but it is just the scroll software messing up. I have to double click the middle button while the cursor is pointing at that one pixel to get it to go away

I am in the same boat... I never got the chance to update the EC, but I have the 1.25 bios. Everything seems to be working so far...

What does that mean for us that have the update installed?

I just updated my wireless driver. After installation, Access Connections 4.11a was telling me that my wireless card was powered off. The only way I found to fix that problem was to uninstall/reinstall Access Connections. Now that I have done that, everything is working great!

So if everything is running fine, should i even update the bios?

Has anyone been able to make this work? All i can get is one field to be saved. Anyone know how to fix this?

wow that's terrible... I just called last night for a replacement keyboard, and it was at my dor this morning no more than 12 hours later. Sorry to hear you had such bad luck.

Talk about fast service... I got my new keyboard this morning, less than 12 hours after calling IBM.

I actually called a little while ago, and a new keyboard is on its way .

I love IBM tech support.

EDIT: By the way, how would you reseat a key on a laptop keyboard?

My new thinkpad seems to have a problem with the left arrow key on the keyboard. It seems to be extremely loose, and makes a very odd clicking sound when pressed. The button itself still works, but I am afraid that it will fall off soon... not to mention the sound it makes is quite annoying. I have ...

just fyi i guess... Recently my 5 key wasn't working right so I push down on it thinking it was just snapped out of place, well it broke off... Called ibm got routed to atlanta georgia, asked for nmb version, and they sent me a new keyboard. The guy also said the new t's are only shipping with the ...

All good to hear. I was a little concerned that it may harm the battery, but I guess not.

Thanks

Is it detrimental to the battery in my t43 if I leave it plugged while not in use? I always plug in my laptop as soon as I am done with it. Is this a bad thing to do?

I just recieved my t43 from lenovo last week. Today, I realized that i have no idea how long the base warranty is that comes with the system. I did not puchase any extended option. How long is the base warranty for and what does it cover?

Thanks

Startraveller, I like your idea for the custom dynamic switching. I'm using your settings now.

You are running the LCD out of its native resolution. Things start to get weird when you do that.

If the stuck pixels are white and only one pixel is stuck at any given time, the problem may actually be a software bug with UltraNav. Next time you see a stuck white pixel, try positioning the cursor directly over the pixel. If a double headed arrow appears, the problem is with the UltraNav softwa...
