Check your box in which the replacement part came. There should be return shipping instructions and label if they want it back. Another way to tell would be if they asked you for a charge card number. If the warranty part is to be returned, they will ask you for a card number to charge should you f...

Wow! That's crazy. I get to keep mine just because of one bad piece of tiny plastic? I was hoping they can just ship me the button piece, too. So now I can sell the palmrest, and people can easily just swap the button with theirs -- for those who are looking for a fingerprint-reader upgrade! I shoul...

Hi all, The left trackpad button (don't hate me for using the trackpad!) has been messed up for weeks. One of the clips that hold the metal rod underneath wasn't gripped, so if you press the left side of the left button, the rod pops out of the clip. You have to press the right side of the button to...

Just rip the palmrest off, mate -- only takes 2 minutes! The T60 is a bit different to the previous ones (the palmrest covers the buttons a bit) but yeah, the buttons are part of the keyboard. The issue is with the left touchpad button. The buttons are integrated into the palmrest. So once again, I...

Anyone know if I can access the moving parts of the trackpad buttons once I remove the palmrest? Maybe I can somehow get some WD-40 in there? My squeaky left button is driving me insane! All my friends notice it. I'm at the point where I may want to get a replacement part under warranty.

This one?

It's dated 2006/05/22.

One greenish dead pixel. I'm sure it's dead... one of those permanently-lit dead pixels. I've tried flashing it to live. No cigar.

I love you!!!

please let us know if it works for you.. :) while i am a bit skeptical, it would be nice if this DID work.. Well, as expected, I ran a color-cycling program, and after 12 hours (actually, a little OVER 12 hours), the greenish stuck pixel is still there. I ran Dead Pixel Tester ( www.dps.uk.com ), w...

I hate it, too. I haven't looked into it, but I did turn off the BEEP that you get when you plug in your AC power in the BIOS config screen. Maybe it's in there, too.

You're not alone. After I removed the palm rest to install my wifi card, I got the same squeak on the right side (right of the fingerprint reader). I've done the palm rest re-install with no luck. Then, after removing it to install my 1GB RAM, things are fine again. There's still some flex (I can pu...

Hopefully this program works. LCDs aren't user servicable, are they? I'd be happy to do the work for them, so long as I don't void my warranty :D No, that'll void your warranty. But, you are soon reaching their warranty threshold, which is 16 mixed pixels (stuck + dead). I say, flick your screen an...

Yes, I'm curious to know if it works. I tried massaging it. I tried running a color program for my 32" LCD TV overnight. That didn't work. Others HAVE massaged their stuck pixels before, plus using programs to aid in the process, and it has worked. http://forum.thinkpads.com/viewtopic.php?t=22980 My...

I read somewhere that Office Depot sells them. If I were you, have your friend order it online, either through the Lenovo site or the several online retailers that carry them (search in the forum). Then, the laptop will be waiting for your friend just in time.

After installing new memory, I would strongly suggest running a memory tester (memtest86 or memtestx86) to make sure that the memory is good. Just using the machine for a while will not be a sufficient test to catch some faulty memory. ChiefValue is great! My UPS tracking said "2lbs". When I got th...

That's what I thought. I looked it up, and I actually have an LG-Phillips! I'm learning to deal with it. It's not dead in the center, and I love my T60 so much, I'll just put up with it (and buy a T61 next year... haha)

Part #: 13N7078

i reinstalled it and it actually works fine now you might want to try to reinstall as well Yup, you're right. It's weird, but I uninstalled (I kept the settings.ini), reinstalled the latest BETA version, and now it reads 2.00Ghz. EDIT: Out of no where, it switched back to 1Ghz. Just exit and re-run...

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH! Sorry to vent... Just as I was shutting down for the night after a fun-filled first week of ownership of my T60, I saw it... bright and green (visible against black)... the first (and hopefully only!) dead pixel, about 4-5 inches up from the bottom right corner and an inch from ...

Too bad there's none for the 15". I was planning on getting the Booq PowerSleeve 14 (on sale on their site for less than $60), but this very innovative one is really getting my attention: RadTech Tekmod http://www.notebookreview.com/assets/4844.jpg Only $62.99 at eBags.com , with free shipping, and ...

I had never heard of this site Goofy, thanks! They are great! Just made my purchase last night. Their automated system could've verify my shipping (work) address on my credit card, so I had to call in. They were very responsive and courteous, both on the phone and via e-mail. Excellent service!!! H...

Assuming this is correct, that puts my wait at 9 weeks 6 days. Looks like all of a sudden, people's machines are shipped. Maybe they do them in batches, or their vendors finally have parts that came in so Lenovo can build some more. Is PreZ's wait (and patience) the longest of everyone here? I thin...

I was THIS close to buying the Gigaram from NewEgg, when I stumbled on this: Patriot 1GB 200-Pin DDR2 SO-DIMM DDR2 667 (PC2 5300) Notebook Memory Model PSD21G6672S - Retail Only $76.49 from ChiefValue 3-day Shipping is only $4.99 ($0.18 more than NewEgg!). For me, living in CA, I have to pay tax for...

I just burned something tonight for the first time. I used DVD Decrypter, burning on a TDK 8x DVD+R, and had set the software to burn at "max". It reached a disappointing 2.3x speed. Why is that? Isn't the burner 4x? Should I switch to a 4x disc for optimal results? I might just have to go back to m...

Does it matter if it's PC2 4200 vs. PC2 5300? The Gigaram DDR2 533 (PC2 4200) is only $76. The DDR2 667 (PC2 5300) is $84. If I won't really notice the performance difference, I might as well save another $8 (10%!).

I'm pretty sure this is your driver. (Could be wrong) 802.11ab, 802.11bg and 802.11abg Wireless LAN Mini PCI and ThinkPad 802.11bg, ThinkPad 802.11abg Wireless LAN Mini PCI Express adapter software for Windows 2000 and XP - ThinkPad General Yup, that's the one I found and installed. Thanks again, G...

Even crazier, A-DATA 1GB for only $72! I think I'll go for Gigaram, based on so many reviews. I had Crucial on my dead Inspiron 8000. No problems. But you're right, if I'm not buying genuine IBM memory, might as well get a decent third party with good reviews. And, it's only $83.99 as of 5/8/2006 11...

I originally had said that I see two antenna cables that were white and black, coming from the top of the console. Those didn't reach the card, because I was trying to put the card in the WAN mini PCI slot. hehe..

I'm currently reading this thread to figure out the drivers.

Wow, I'm ashamed to say that I'm "good with computers". I had no idea that the slot near the top right is for LAN slot. I didn't even know there was a WAN and LAN slots! Thanks guys! So it turns out, that gray (whitish) and black antenna cables were for the wifi card. The problem now is, I can't ins...

Yeah, I read that, too. I have to call this contractor and see how long it would take. I don't know if the part will cost me anything since it is extra, but the labor should be free since it's under warranty (my first day of ownership!).

What happened was that I did not select a WiFi card when building my system. I didn't want the Intel card, I wanted the Atheros. By doing so, they didn't install the antenna into the LCD assembly! How stupid is that... So now, I have to take it to a dealer nearby to have it installed.
