3. Lenovo expects certain minimum commitment from the customers before they would want to give a go-ahead to this project. I've seen you mention this before, and I have to say that this seems out of the ordinary. I'm not sure I would commit to a deposit of any kind. It's not like this is a kickstar...

From what Mr. Hill has presented so far regarding the results of the previous surveys, my hopes for getting what I was looking for have sunk very low. Hopefully other people will be happy with whatever this machine ends up being. I'm surprised by the number of folks who seem so disappointed with th...

I've been following these X62 posts with interest, and I would consider going in on a group purchase/shipping deal if these boards turn out to be real. I've been using an X61T (tablet) as my main mobile machine, but I'd consider switching to a regular X61. (I gather that there is no hope/plan for mo...

There is something wrong when creating/editing a post. It displays big fonts. I've noticed the same thing. Whoa, real big. I thought it was just me. Giant text is still an issue here too on the reply pages. Looking forward to a fix! We think we've fixed the oversized font issue on reply pages and c...

Congrats on figuring out this wonky refresh rate issue for the SXGA+ screens in the X61's. And thanks for sharing the details on your fix.

I don't remember my 760E having an MPEG decoder, though maybe the 760ED has one?

Mmmm...I see that according to the German thinkwiki.de, the 760CD, 760ED and 760XD all did indeed have an MPEG decoder. I'm not sure how to get that working.

Phil.

The PCI Multimedia Device is probably either the MPEG decoder or the video input/output feature.... I don't remember my 760E having an MPEG decoder, though maybe the 760ED has one? You will definitely want to install the video driver and see if that fixes the PCI multimedia device. And some of thes...

That's weird about the missing 770Z link on the Lenovo End of Life support site. Until they fix it, though, you should be able to use the 770X page: https://download.lenovo.com/lenovo/content/ddfm/770x.html I don't think that there are any differences in drivers between the 770X and 770Z. Having sai...

X61T - 1.8ghz L7700 w/Middleton BIOS [....] - BCM970015 Broadcom Media playback card That's my machine, except I'm running Windows with 8GB. IIRC, the Broadcom card does not help with youtube playback, only with local files played back with something like VLC Player. I'm not 100% sure if that is ri...

Without doing much research to refresh my memory, I recall that the Thinkpad 600 series CPU upgrades are limited by the max available CPU that was produced in the "MMC-1" form factor. I think that's a PII 400MHz, though those are pretty rare. I have one in an old 770E, which was similar in architect...

[....] I always just pull the laptop off the dock and that's it. Well, Your Mileage May Vary! With some of the docking systems, doesn't the physical eject button actually lock up and physically prevent you from undocking, if there are still ongoing processes? I think my X61T and T60p both do that. ...

In general, under Win 7 with that generation of Thinkpads, you should be able to use the Undock command from the Start Menu. And if that works then I think you will find you can also use the physical buttons on the dock. But Windows can be quite finnicky about what it thinks is an ongoing connection...

[Later: Err...I didn't realize I was replying to a several week old post. If you still need this disk, Thinkpad Maniac, then send me a PM.] Hey, Thinkpad Maniac, I've got the full set of X60 Tablet XP 2005 disks, including Disk 1 of 1 Rescue and Recovery or Emergency Disk and Disks 1-6 XP disks. I'v...

If you are aiming for an SXGA+ screen on an X61T, then you should be aware that many people ran into issues with the original SXGA+ screens on the X61T series: there were reports of the "glue" running a bit and causing bubbles to appear. Apparently, the glue (or method) they used to bond the digitiz...

Regarding the 137GB capacity limit, I don't think that should really be an issue. I've seen people report having 160GB drives in the 600X (maybe only with latest BIOS). You probably do need to keep the partition size below 137GB with an older OS though. I have a 160GB drive in one of my 600X machin...

Hi Paul, one way this can happen I think is if you move the mouse after you close the lid or while you are in the midst of closing it, and the mouse is configured to "allow this device to wake up the computer." With Win 7, you can configure this in the Device Manager: find the mouse in question -> P...

I am running into problems that I am assuming is due to corruption in the original Wink2k Pro installation. I have a off-the-shelf installation disc and no IBM restore software. I do not want to lose the IBM software such as the ThinkPad Configuration program when I reload the OS. The ThinkPad fold...

Well, then you can NOT sell them here offered with W7.

You've got PM!

Awesome find, thanks!

You think the IT people at Lenovo are scratching their heads wondering why the traffic to their server(s) has suddenly jumped :?: :) ? Pfft, less than a TB of traffic? :roll: Not even a blip on the radar. :mrgreen: At one point, I thought about hiding the fact that I was trying to scrape data from ...

Could you provide some examples of MTMs that are not in the selector? There could be some kind of pattern behind them. Mmmmm....it looks like I was wrong about this. I scraped three machine types during testing (2007, 2008, 2009 - all are T60 or T60p models), and I compared my results against those...

Unless Lenovo changes its (lack of) mind, you only have 7 more days to do the job... Sorry, can't help you here. My understanding is that the Express site: http://download.lenovo.com/express/ is scheduled to disappear in 7 days, but the data I'm talking about is being scraped from the support1.leno...

Interesting. So your scraper simply brute forces through [0-9]{4}[0-9a-z]{3}? That's going to take a while indeed. !! Yes, I know! Just now I tried to find a way to at least crawl through the selector. They use some AJAX dark magic to retrieve the category lists like this [...] I started looking in...

What other assets do people want to preserve? I think it would be nice to preserve the possibility of doing a quick look-up for specifications of legacy machines using only the Machine-Type Model. I've already got a python script almost ready that will help do this, and I started gathering voluntee...

Hey Tuus, just catching up with this now. That's great news that the t61 wikispace will be continued - I've certainly found it educational a few times in the past year!

Phil.

Maybe this has nothing to do with the board, but rather the 64MB memory module. [....] Have you tested with a smaller RAM module, or no module at all? Good catch! I don't believe 64MB modules should be used in a 701C (definitely not officially supported). Even a 32MB module is a bit of a stretch. T...

BTW, I've found 3 SDRAM slots in 770X - is 768mb RAM possible on it? 512MB is the limit on that machine, even if you swapped the "inside" stick, the machine is limited to 512MB and one of the RAM sticks will be hidden or disabled when powered on, so it'll be a waste. Saucey is right on that. Folks ...

Good luck with the sale! You've done great work on that machine, and if I had any money these days, I'd be bidding on it.

Summary I'm looking for some volunteers familiar with (or at least, not afraid of!) Python to help me compile data from the legacy Lenovo support site before it disappears. Goal The goal is to preserve the Machine Type + Model number + Description details from the http://support1.lenovo.com/ websit...

But unless someone is familiar with the process or has performed it before, I think the exact specifics are lost. I don't think anyone ever wrote up the procedure in a publicly available forum or on a website anywhere back when they were being done. I'm pretty sure that I searched for that informat...
