Let me know how to pay, very much appreciated!

Hi everyone, I have a type 2631 docking station which I pulled out of a dusty cupboard. I have nothing to test it with, so I can only assume it works. It's the hefty one with everything including the kitchen sink on it: http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/detail.page?LegacyDocID=MIGR-4PER6S If you want ...

I remember in an XP/Vista dual installation, you had to install Vista last and couldn't reinstall XP because XP would mess up some setup which handles the dual installation. Is this also true for a Vista/Win7 dual installation? My Vista installation needs to be reinstalled, but I don't want to mess ...

This is exactly the experience I wish to avoid. Instead I just bought another T60 to back up my current T60. :D Frankly, I can't even consider upgrading to newer model Thinkpad until Lenovo stop putting huge bezels around the screen. I mean, small bezels on T60 --> large bezels on T420... at least t...

Thanks Richk. I'll make a bee-line for this when I disassemble it on the weekend and have a good poke around the inverter.

Much appreciated!

Thanks for the reply RealBlackStuff. Time is stopping me at the moment RealBlackStuff. It is my main work computer and I work 10 to 12 hours a day so I have an old monitor I had laying around attached to it for the moment so I can get things done. On the weekend, I'll have the time to take it apart ...

Thanks for replying guys. Richk, I agree it does act much like the "closed" sensor magnet. It is the backlight that is turning off - the picture is still being sent successfully to the screen, I assume this is what happens when you close the screen on a laptop? Monck, unfortunately the VGA output on...

Thanks Monck. More information: I've just had a more careful look - when the screen is "black", it's not actually black - the backlight has turned off. When I look carefully, I can still see the display and it moves and works, just no backlight. Is it possible the "screen closed" sensor is messed up...

Hi, started up my T60 2007-BN5 laptop this morning and the screen remained entirely black. When I close the screen, the display turns on perfectly fine when the angle is about 45 degrees to the keyboard or less. Opening the screen more than this makes the display blank again. Seems like a broken wir...

Thanks for the advice guys. Money is very limited unfortunately so the solid state drive is out of reach and as I already have a Core Duo, I'm not sure it's worth the expense of upgrading the processor. If only money wasn't a factor! Model is 2007-BN5 and I've replaced the drive in the past with a 7...

My trusty T60, used 12 hours a day for three or four years now, is getting a bit of a day-spa treatment in a week's time. The fan has gone rattly, so that's being replaced. New larger HDD. Upgrade from XP to Win7. Upgrade from Office 2007 to Office 2010. Since I'm doing all this, any advice for thin...

I don't consider upgrading from T60 firstly due to thick bezels.

Fantastic richk, thanks very much!

Any tips for replacing the fan/heatsink on a T60?

Thanks vinunero, I think you have already helped! In looking for the graphics and processor info, I did a search and it says... Product: ThinkPad T60 2007-BN5 Original description: Based on 2007-49H: T2400(1.83GHz), 512MB RAM, 60GB 5400rpm HD, 14.1in 1400x1050 LCD, 64MB ATI Radeon X1300, CDRW/DVD, I...

Hi all, my T60 2007-BN5 fan has started making a grinding noise and researching here says I need to replace it before it breaks down. Out of warranty. The problem is, I've looked everywhere on TPforum and IBM site - can't find the part number... it's absent from everything. 2007-BN5 is not listed he...

Hi all, I have a T60 (2007-BN5) with 3 gig ram, 7200rpm HDD (about 250gig or something) and it's run a treat for three years now, brilliant machine. It crashed a little earlier, no alt-ctrl-del response so I held down power to restart it. Now, it does this: Windows takes 4 or 5 minutes to start and ...

Given away, cheers.

Hi, pulled this card out of a T30. I have no idea what it is really... if you want it, you can have it for postage costs.

It's in Australia, Sydney.

Cheers!

Thanks Mike, I'd come to a similar conclusion from Googling but wasn't feeling very at ease about it. To see someone else come to the same conclusion is reassuring! Only doubt in my mind is that I'd imagine there'd be lots of mentions of this false-positive on the board here, but I find practically ...

I'd have thought this would be impossible, but... I bought a T40 for a relative off eBay. Avast virus checker said that XPclient.exe had a trojan horse virus. No matter I figured, going to restore to factory settings anyway, and did so. Sure enough, after restoring to factory settings, it was gone. ...

My auntie's hard-working T23 is starting to feel it's age - red tinged screen and now a bunch of blue-screens after a fresh XP install. Rather than diagnose what's causing the problem to only have the screen finally die 6 months later, we've decided to upgrade to a sexy T40. I've always had her on a...

If you're keen on a HDD that's larger than 6GB, let me know because I'll still happily offload one of the spare drives if it works and has no bad sectors. Thanks for the offer but 6 gig will be plenty for what essentially will be an internet and word processing machine. More than 6 gig will just le...

Hi all, thanks for the consideration and thoughts, but I managed to pick up a $43 screamer on eBay: http://tinyurl.com/5zbym9

Hopefully it does the job!

Cheers!

G'day, I've got a mate of mine who is a university student, very much struggling financially. I'm not exactly rolling in money myself (small business owner...) otherwise I'd buy him a beautiful T43. Alas I am still hand washing my clothes in the sink to keep my expenses down, so buying lovely T43 fo...

Unfortunately I've learnt never to recommend Thinkpads (or any other brand) to anyone except my closest quality-minded computer-literate friends for precisely this kind of reason. It's a crying shame really. If my brand new car had a chip in the paintwork and the car dealer said they won't fix it un...

Yes, just checked a few hours ago. Whoo hoo! The fresh installation is looking sweet and with the 7200rpm drive it's snappy as!

Thank you.

Of all the rotten timing, I put today aside specially so I could patiently and carefully reinstall... my first experience using ThinkVantage...

Cheers.

Can anybody confirm for me that ThinkVantage is down? When I run ThinkVantage System Update, I get the message: "The Package Index Server is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later." and the Lenovo website in Support and Drivers doesn't work either (including the 'contact' link to let Lenovo...

I find the T60 14" weight to be okay on a normal day, but when your down/frustrated/exhausted it can be a real lead weight...!! :) My next computer will be an X for that reason alone. The 14" T60 is about as wide as you could reasonably handle on a plane seat table, so I wouldn't go widescreen or 15...

Thanks ryengineer, I appreciate the advice.

In the end I decided to buy a R61i 14" for this person as this Thinkpad will rarely if ever leave the house.

Cheers,

Nick
