I flashed it this am.

Comes up as BIOS 2.00b and embedded controller 1.06

I am not seeing anything different or unique but it worked fine.

Well I have had my T60 since March/April of 2006. Never ever had any issues with wifi at all. I use an Apple Airport extreme for my AP and have had really good luck - until last Monday. All of a sudden, I will start to loose connectivity. The AP is fine as my other wifi devices stay attached. I trie...

For fun today, I tried this and actually it works rather nicely on the T60...most of all of the drivers from IBM (XP) worked just fine. However, I noticed 1 thing... Eventhough I installed the ACPI power driver and the Thinkpad power manager....I cannot seem to control or throttle the CPU speeds. Th...

I only have this to say on this.... If you use the INTEL drivers *dont* use the IBM Access Connections. It is not setup (yet) for the new Intel drivers. I would have presumed that if your running the INTEL OEM drivers, you wouldnt be trying to use Access Connections :? The Intel driver does it all (...

I supposed the 'safest' bet is to stick with the Lenovo provided drivers...but I have had no issues with the Intel driver and have been running it almost 24/7 Sorry if my thread here caused you greif. I bought an ultrabay and spare SATA drive for playing. I always backup things (Using Acronis Migrat...

I have a T60 and was wondering if anyone has a recommendation for a DECENT web cam....the few I tried here make me look blotchy or sunburned... :shock: I want to do AIM video with my parents, but cant get that to work right..and I think its my firewall (Cisco) - but I wont change it. So? - I am look...

I ordered this drive and the stupid company sent me an ATA instead of a SATA drive :evil: So I found yet another source that was not too pricey and ordered it. I was wondering if anyone that has one of these can comment on the following: 1. Do you feel it running with your right palm on the palm res...

Personally I dont see any difference at all. The release notes don't indicate what changed

I see a few cosmetic things....but no difference in performance that I am aware of. Perhaps someone might offer something else

-JD

I prefer to use the drivers from Intel...so if anyone else does, here is the link for the latest drivers (10.1.1.3) released 5/1

XP can see the drive just fine. For now, I was able to download the demo of Acronis 9 and used that. It did work....but I was looking for something that didnt involve windows :-( Also, acronis has programs that run and ironically it slows the machine down. So after I mirrored the drives, I deleted A...

my T60 came with the 60GB Hitachi drive. It was noisy until I ran the acoustic control and now its mostly quiet on seeks. I do hear the 'shhhhhhhhh' sound of whirring air when its running though. I was wondering therefore, how this would compare to the Seagate momentus 7200 drive? Does that have whi...

1. I purchased the ultrabay for the T60 2. I purchased the Hibachi 60gb hard drive (identical to whats inside the T60) Now...what I am after is the following: 1. I want to simply CLONE the drive thats inside the T60 to the Hibachi in the Ultrabay. In the past on my R40, I used a USB floppy with Ghos...

My prior laptop was an R40 centrino. I never ever heard the fan. Not even once. No wait....yes I did hear it..but only when I was updating the embedded controller...then it roared!

Very disappointing this T60 is with the fan. Other than this noise - its not that bad.....



-JD

My T60 fan is really annoying. When I am on battery I have things set at LOW LOW LOW and it still runs constantly. I tried some of the settings here as suggested (Max Performance instead of Balanced) - no difference. Nothing I do (even in the BIOS) helps reduce this fan noise. The odd thing is that ...

Ok...any GURUs out there? I live in a very congested area with WIFI. When I had my last notebook, I used ZyAir products...I was able to access channels 12 or 13 on the wireless and this solved my issues as no one can easily use those on most products 8) Is there any way to setup the T60 with Intel 3...

The solution...this is a known issue with Cisco and the Intel 3945ABG card.

Cisco told me to use the next lowest IOS and try. I did that and things work perfectly.

12.3(7)JA3

12.3.8JA is problematic.

-JD

I setup the Cisco Aironet to use WPA2 (AES/CCMP) and LEAP for authenication. I have this working with one major exception! I turn on the T60 and I can authenticate just fine. But once I reboot the T60, I am no longer able to authenticate.....until I reboot the Aironet AP. It seems that the Aironet n...

Yup!
that was it!!!!!

I wonder why all of a sudden...but a quick install of the drivers
and its gone

thanks!

I have had no issues and suddenly now, while rebooting I see this: Other Devices - Unknown Device on Intel(R) 82801GBM (ICH7-M) LPC Interface Controller - 27B9 Device instance ID: ACPI\ATM1200\4&38462492&0 Hardware Ids:ACPI\ATM1200 *ATM1200 Everything works fine. The hard drive and the DVD.... Anyon...

I have installed the 2nd battery in the T60...is there anything I need to do to get the software to 'see' it? It still shows my runtime around 3.0hrs and that never changed when I added the 2nd battery....the % of total charge (green battery on tray) did drop and now its at 100%..so I am sure both a...

Well today, I ordered an identical Hitachi 60GB drive and the ultrabay slim caddy. I have ghost and will dump this entire setup to the spare drive... I am not sure what caused this to die...but if I can back it up to a restorable (EZ RESTORE) point - then I can go from there. What did I do before th...

a total reload of XPSP2 and all is well again. very odd...

-JD

PS. I knew it was no the AP

I didnt touch the AP.... This is weird. I called IBM (why I bother I will never know) and was told this: If you currently use IEEE 802.1x authentication on Windows XP Service Pack 1 and do not use WPA encryption, Lenovo recommends you uninstall Q826942 (WPA Supplicant update rollup package in Window...

umm...without access connections, how to I enable WPA2? Windows WIFI config doesnt seem to offer anything other than WEP!! I tried using the IBM access connections and when that didnt work, I tried using the Intel Proset drivers/admin - that didnt work. If I can enable WPA2 nativley, I am game..if s...

I have had this laptop for a whopping 2 days. No issues until this AM...suddenly I cannot connect to my AP. After trying several ideas here, I have narrowed it down to the fact that as long as I create a profile that uses NO-encryption or uses WEP I can connect just fine. If I try to use WPA/WPA2 (w...

I did find out that if I enable DHCP service eventhough I dont need it - that stupid icon DOES go away in about 30 secs.

I did fine the Intel utility much faster and cleaner than the IBM after playing with both. Both do work exceptionally well though.

-JD

Well I have hard coded the IP...and it does work, but that stupid icon remains....I think that started after SP2...I dont recall though.

I just got this yesterday. I reloaded XP from scratch...following the tips here and all is well...but I have a few questions... 1. there is a bag of 2 screws...1 long and 1 stubby..what are these for and where can they go? 2. Which battery are people complaining about not fitting perfect. I ended up...

I just picked this unit up...and I was wondering about the "ultrabay" battery.... I seem to get conflicting part numbers....could it be 40Y6789?? does anyone have a valid part number for this battery? I want to keep the standard battery (6cell) but add a 2nd battery in place of the CDROM I dont use....
