I have physically disconnected the microphones in all of my Thinkpads and un-installed the software. The cell phones are kept in another room from where I normally spend time.

All conversations in my house are conducted in the Cone of Silence as seen on the American television show "Get Smart".

Thanks!

Both *MAY* work if you use a different Bluetooth stack for each card.

As for upgrading your Bluetooth daughter card, yes. I currently have a Bluetooth 4.0 daughter card in my T60, it should definitely work in the T500.

What's the part number of the Bluetooth 4.0 card in your T60?

My network is rated for 60Mb/s download. Using a T23 with P III 1.2GHz, 1GB RAM, Atheros wireless N (42T0825), Firefox 48.0.2, and Windows XP SP3 I recorded a best download rate of 64Mb/s. The speed varied depending on which server I accessed for the test. I don't have a wireless USB dongle to compa...

Here is a further update on getting Windows Update to work with Windows XP. On my T23 if I double click on the Windows Update icon it opens Internet Explorer 8 at address http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com. The result is "Internet Explorer cannot open the website".

To get my T23 running XP with updates it was necessary to install a new Windows Update Agent.

Thanks much -

To replace thermal paste you need to remove the fan assembly. The hardware maintenance manual available at https://thinkpads.com/support/hmm/thinkpad-hmm.html tells how.

I updated my T43 from Power Manager 6.45 to 6.68.12 (n1au412w) and it works fine.

Many versions of Power Manager for Vista and Windows 7 can be downloaded from http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/downloads/ds014924. For what it's worth, my T43 (1872-4AU) runs well with Power Manager 6.45 on Windows 7.

You've got a PM.

No, it's time for country-wide protests. :evil: Surely if the Trump opposition could protest for weeks over imaginary things like "electing a racist hate-mongering Hitler", they can do just as well about real things, like this glaring breach of privacy. No? :) No, most Americans are unable to figur...

This will authorize WiFi cards for your T30.

Windows Update found a working audio driver for my T43 Windows 7 installation. Uninstall your present audio driver and let Windows Update install the driver which is listed below.

The A31 will accept 2 GB RAM (two 1 GB modules), type PC2100 or PC2700.

The largest PATA hard drive is 320 GB and that should work in the A31.

Thanks for your detailed response. Microsoft describes the rollup 1 problem with CPU excessive temperature in KB919521. A single entry to the registry solves the problem so the total avoidance of rollup 1 seems unnecessary. The Unofficial Update Rollup creates a large number of fundamental changes s...

Here's how you run modern software on Windows 2000: 1) Install it and update it. Does this mean install Windows 2000 and then install service pack 4? What is included in the updates? 2) Download, extract and install this: https://www.mediafire.com/?a4orwv4p5z1m2c4 (November 30th, 2014 release [Most...

Nice video - thanks for uploading it. There is reference to various links in the video but I do not see those on the page, at least not in IE11.

I sent you a PM.

It is one of the last models to have a serial port, USB port, and stereo line input. Also runs well on Windows XP which is needed for some of the software I use. I suppose an A31 would work as well.

Send me a PM if you have a Thinkpad T30 for sale.
