Re: T23 Trackpoint stopped working

Is there a way to "test" the KB without physically replacing it?

T23 Trackpoint stopped working

Dropped my T23 while it was in my computer bag. Booted up and the trackpoint was not working. External mouse works fine hmmm...is this a MB issue? keyboard? otherwise the T23 is in great shape.

Re: Netflix experience

My connection is fine...the T30 works great, ethernet or wireless. Both of my T23's are herky, jerky...I turned off my virus/firewall sw and still have the same result...only thing I can think of is adding more ram...

Netflix experience

My Netflix experience is less than satisfactory with my T23...the streaming video is very jerky. Now my t30 works fine...could it be a limitation in the video card of the T23? Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks,

t23 wireless mini pci question

I purchased a T23 from George (ajkula66) and I must say it is a pristine T23...very nice indeed! Thanks George! George included an Intel b/g card and when I went to install it I notice the wireless B card is "jumpered" to another card...is that the modem? Do I just disc the modem card and install th...

I see the IBM SDD is for floppies. Is there anyway to create a CD instead. I do not have a floppy drive.

Ok I was afraid of that only because I have to find a new ribbon cable that will "reach" both drives. They will be mounted "next" to each other instead of on top of each other...just the way the 8187 is set up....the floppy is on top of the HDD now and the new HDD will go under the DVD drive.

A31 and Tawbook

I have a question concerning the information in tawbook...I am looking at an A31 2652-Q3U. The tawbook shows the mini pci as "open". Does that mean there is not a wireless antenna in the lid?
