Memory Question
I have a X61t and only had 1GB memory. A few months ago I added another 1GB and realized that I should have probably gotten 2. So, after these past few months, I ordered another 1GB...Oooops. Problem is, I needed to actually have ordered 2GB initially now that I know there was only 1 empty slot avai...

Fn symbol in task bar
I have just noticed a Fn symbol (blue lettering with gray background) in the shape of a key that is sitting in my taskbar. This has never before appeared. I also noticed that I cannot lock the taskbar..it continues to fade when I move the cursor off of it. Anyone know why I have this symbol suddenly...

Strange Error Message
Anyone ever heard of this or got this message when booting up: On Screen Display Message Handler has encountered a problem and needs to close... If so, do you know what causes it and how to fix it? I googled it but there was really not any great information provided. Also, while booting, I get not t...

When I did that, instantly, I am able to surf the web and check my emails from my provider...

Today, for the last 6 hours or so, while on my wireless home network, I have noticed a very large slowdown while on the internet in speeding connecting to sites. It's taking at LEAST 10x's longer to connect to sites that normally pop right up for me. I run Windows XP Pro not Vista. I have run defrag...

Screen fades to black and back again
I'm not sure if anyone else has had this issue, but recently, a few times, I'll be just typing on my x61T and all of the sudden, gradually, my screen will fade to dark, much darker than just reducing the backlighting. It's almost 100% black, except I can just make out the background. All of the sudd...

I have XP, not Vista for my 61T, so maybe this won't mean much, but I added another 1GB of memory and I went from 4-5 minutes to about 1-2 minutes, so really cut it right in half. I also removed the CSS, added Uniblue and cleaned up some things on my system, and keep a disk defrag running a lot, whi...

Screen Options Not Working
The basic function of right clicking on the screen to get display options does not seem to be working properly. When I right click the screen, the only option I am given is Display Properties. I can no longer select resolution, screen savers, etc. Does anyone know what would cause this to happen?

Everything I am doing, from pulling open any Office application, to using the Tablet, is almost twice as fast. Amazing. Thank you everyone. Now I wish I got the 2 GB instead of the one, bu...

My question of "anyone know what battery this is" was not so that you could simply tell me to call Lenovo. Don't snipe at the moderators and other users who are trying to help you. Snipe?

snipped With all due respect, you are DEAD wrong. I SAW the battery with the x61T right in front of my eyes. It was not a fake, it was not a different machine, and it did not interfere with anything. This battery worked for this machine. I even took it off and placed it on mine to make sure that it...

No the tablet models use a different style battery. I'm not sure that is entirely true. I have the x61T and a co worker of mine had that battery that fits UNDER the system, almost like the Ultra Bay, and adds 2 hours on top of the 8 Cell that he had. It's the one that you can connect to the laptop ...

a) What model do you have? x60t? Or x61t? The former one, as far as I know, might not be able to combine 1+2 GB modules asymmetrically. I.e., then you won't get dual channel. b) pc-5300 is good enough, but in some cases you won't get maximum performance combining modules with different timings. dif...

Just expect that I am telling you correct things. Then you would find it. It is there! It is greyed out in the downmost left, so a bit difficult to find, something like "settings". Then you get another screen where you have auto-rotation and acceleration sensor settings. I know it is a bit counter ...
