From www.intel.com T1400 (Core Solo), 2MB L2, 1.83 GHz, 667 MHz FSB, 27W T2300 (Core Duo), 2MB L2, 1.83 GHz, 667 MHz FWB, 31W So the Core Duo with the same specs will consume about 3% more power, but it has a lot more than 3% of additional processing power so that makes it more efficient. More proce...

Access Connections can do that; there is a setting to set your homepage to something (that is the default) for each network profile you create. :) Yeah I saw a regkey from access connections but didn't know where it was in there, but I think I found it. - Double click access connections tray icon. ...

Howdy folks, new T60 owner. Actually, I had a T42 but I got it lemon lawed and the replacement was a T60 (2007-4AU). Anyways, whenever I reboot my default start page in Firefox gets jacked back to http://www.msn.com and this kind of crap freakin drives me up the wall. "No, you are not allowed to set...

FINAL UPDATE My replacement system is finally here as of last Wednesday, a brand new T60 (2007-4AU). The T42 is now officially property of IBM/Lenovo , so it'll be sent back this week sometime. 8) 2007-4AU specs: - Core Duo T2400 (1.83 GHz) - 512 MB RAM - 14.1" SXGA+ - 64 MB graphics memory - 60 GB...

Yeah I already thought of that. The on-board 256M gets swapped out with each motherboard (replaced 3x times) and I tried removing my 256M expander and the system would still crash and behave the same way with or without the expansion memory. Anyways, just got a call from IBM and they're going to rep...

I checked that suspected high current drain thing and it didn't pan out. It dropped into the 0.7xA range after a few mins even with the wireless on so looks like that theory is a bust

Btw, I'm replying via my blackberry right now. These things are great

Hi there, I received exactly this same error yesterday on a T60. Now, this particular T60 had had Linux installed on it for a while, and for various reasons I needed the machine back to running Windows (lets not get into the religious war. I describe these things in terms of preferences like Myers ...

I wouldn't reject the entire brand because of a problem like this. I really don't think there is anything better out there, especially in the customer service department. If you don't trust the mail in service after this, (and I wouldn't blame you for that), you could always pay a little extra for ...

Happy 4th everybody! Well, over a month later and this piece of crap STILL is not fixed. It's taken awhile because I've been in the middle of moving, they sent an empty return box to my former address which got delayed so I wasn't there to pick it up (out of state move) and I just didn't feel like d...

Got the T42 back again today, and again it doesn't work. Now it boots into Windows (progress! :lol: ) but all it does is either crash or BSOD with completely random errors. So, yet again I call up service and they want me to send it in yet again for the 3rd time, but after getting my PC back twice a...

Ridiculous... product recovery process failed again after the CDs this time with a different error. "Product Recovery Process unable to initiate convertion process" According to IBM tech, they actually replaced the motherboard and apparently just sent it right back out the door, did not even check t...

Well I got the 2nd set of recovery CDs and guess what, that wasn't the issue of course because it had the same error at the same spot all over again, so I sent the thing back in. Got it back today, plugged it in, and guess what? It's still not booting into Windows even after I checked off the thing ...

I don't have a bootable XP CD, but I do have bootable Win2k CDs so I tried that after disabling that predesktop security area setting. All I saw was about a 4 GB FAT32 partition, which I deleted through 2k setup. After that, 38154 MB left of unpartitioned space on a "40 GB" drive. Not sure if that's...

Okay I just got through the whole sequence yet again, and did everything exactly when I should have and I still get the same stupid error. WTF. BIOS version: 1RETDIWW (3.14) BIOS date: 01/20/2005 I bet anything it's a bug in this stupid BIOS version. I'm probably gonna have to send the thing back. B...

I did this recently on my T42, and it went without a hitch. I would suggest checking the following: 1) In the BIOS set up menu, make sure the security for the Predesktop Area is set to Normal. 2) IIRC, after you insert the last CD of the Product Recovery Disc set and it has copied the data from it,...

is it possible that HDD defective? The new HDD that they just sent me is what's in there now, and it's still giving the same error message. I suppose it could be bad also, but I think it has to be something else. I mean, it runs, the BIOS sees it, and it manages to do the CD backup to HD ghost part...

Has anybody gotten this error while trying to run the product recovery, restore factory defaults? http://mywebpages.comcast.net/stevtecv6/temp/DSC02844.JPG This is on a T42 (2378-FVU). Awhile ago the drive was doing the click of death which I guess was pretty common on this machine. Windows was cras...

I'm not sure it signifies failure, but according to Bill, there's 1) a firmware patch that eliminates the clicking, and/or 2) a software patch that reduces it. I haven't looked for or found either. Maybe if Bill can speak up here :) Thanks! I'll definitely check into that. :) I haven't done any upd...

I have a 2378 FVU also with the same 40 GB drive and mine is doing the same thing also. ANNOYING AS HELL!!! Yeah I'm afraid the drive is going to crash on me so I'm backing up frequently. Tonight it won't SHUT UP and I'm trying to concentrate and get some work done! grrr :roll: Lemme try the reboot ...

Howdy folks, I have a T42 2378 FVU and noticed a couple of quirks and was wondering if anybody else may have noticed them or if it's just me. This has the Pentium-M 1.7g 2mb L2 cache, 40gb 5400rpm drive, 1400x1050 14" screen, and the Radeon 9600 chip. Came with 256M and I put another 256M in it for ...
