Re: SL400: Two Free mPCIe Slots

All of my T400's and T500's have at least one of those type cards in them. Typically with dual 32 gig cards. Movies or Music fills most of them.

FS A2107F tablet

This was one of Lenovo's early forays into the Tablet Field. I picked up a NOS unit still sealed in the original box. I rooted it and played with the installed OS as I had never had a tablet. After significant tweaking and dumping of the Lenovo slugwear, I found it totally usable if a little dated. ...

Re: T30 Recovery CD Set Needed

All, I still get a few requests a year for these and they are still available. Easy transaction, make a donation and I send you a link. Roughly a week later I kill the link.

Its for a good cause!

I have outrun the limits of my knowledge: I picked up the above, NOS for a song. Brand new, I made the mistake of allowing it to do its first (and only available) OTA update.

Re: How to reinstall Windows and configure for X131e (3368)

When I picked mine up, I used the SLIC 2.1 method, and with the attending 178 updates, it took a little over 18 hours.

Under an hour to load 7
Under an hour to find the updates
At least 16 hours to download and update the system.

I found both of those also, one is a hack, the other is for the W02. It worked fine, the problem was the charging LED would never go off, until it killed the battery!

It came originally with 2.1 installed but no matter what I have tried, I cant get it to go back. I used a different method to re-load, what was already factory ... without a SLIC bein...

Re: T500 Resolution issue

1680 X 1050
Intel pop up tells me its not optimal every time I start the machine.

When I try to change it the screen goes all wobbly, Im thinking its a driver as I have run into this before.

Its a LP154W02-TL06

Re: Swapping Hard Drives in almost identical T510's

George, if I understand the question: I have moved a HDD from a ATI T500 to a Intel T500, it really did not like the move at first but after it rebooted it ran fine and the W7 stayed activated on both machines.

I cobbled together a spare T500. The screen was from a T61, so I field stripped it and installed it in the T500 chassis. Used the inverter board from the T61, and the cable from the T500. Can not get it to run in 1600 X 1080 mode to save my life. 1440 X 900 runs fine. Powerstrip says the monitor is ...
