Thanks. O.k., you got me: what is a bad inverter? It is NOT a temperature problem. I went into CCC and set the GPU specs lower, 800x600, lowered to 16 bit, lowered the performance slider to "balanced" to slow down the Mhz. Even after all that, after about a day, it blacked out on me again. At the ti...

Hopefully, someone will read this and say "oh, I know that problem." ;) Last week, my T60p (2623DDU with UXGA and WinXP) froze, or so I thought. I restarted and kept using it. Well, it's kept freezing intermittently, always while under heavy load (hot), and always worked after restart. Now it froze ...

O.k., I don't have the programs mentioned. (I assume (for future use) I can download them from the Lenovo website, right?) I searched the forum and yup, a number of other people have had the exact same problem. So I opened regedit. Every single value, including enable, had been set to 0. Changed the...

Well, I don't know how I did it, but some how I messed up the "green bars" onscreen display. It's a t60p 2623 DDU, and yesterday the little green bars on the bottom of the screen stopped appearing. I mean the ones that come on to show how bright the screen is, or how loud the volume is. I have tried...

This isn't that rare a problem. When I bought a t60p from IBM Certified used, it arrived without Thinkvantage installed, even though their website clearly states it includes Thinkvantage. When I contacted (Flextronics) Customer Service, they didn't even tell me I could get the stuff off the Lenovo w...

Thanks everyone, the T60p with UXGA came back into stock at IBM certified used, so I bought that. I did not buy the 1yr extended warranty. Is that 1 additional year, beyond the 3 month warranty I already get, or one year total? It seems like a logical question, but I couldn't find the answer anywher...

Thanks guys, I've seen some threads here that seem to cover roughly what I'm asking. I see two opposite groups. Some say the T4x/R5x range is just about at the end of the road. Others say they expect to keep using their T4x for many more years. So I thought I'd ask before buying. George said the T60...

Hi Guys, I was just about to buy a T43p, after looking at the T42p, T43p and T60. All are IPS screens, but the T60 is not UXGA. Before I buy the T43p, I thought I'd post a note here. If anyone thinks one of the other 2 is a better machine, let me know. I just thought the T43p, with UXGA, seemed like...

Guys, I've lurked here a lot, but never posted. However, if Lenovo Outlet has come up again, my last PITA dealing with them brings me out of the shadows. I too wanted a 4:3 15" screen, so I ordered an R60 off the Lenovo Outlet. I know there is a risk of ordering a computer that already sold, but I a...
