Haven't tried it (yet!) but this is what i think: -make sure you have a 'whitelist disabled' BIOS. Otherwise it will definitely not work, because the device ID isn't in the approved list. -make sure you have the appropriate drivers installed, and make sure your software uses it. Otherwise it's kind ...

Hi,

Could you give me a price for the keyboard + battery, shipped (to Belgium)?

I would try Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, because it has excellent support for the Thinkpad T60 out-of-the-box, and it is what I'm running at the moment. I have no first-hand experience with 11.04 but it's probably just as good. If everything seems normal, try to stress it a bit, doing some graphics-intense stu...

I've contacted the seller, no shipping to Belgium
There are some others available on eBay, but most of them don't want to do the shipping.
Those who do, usually have a higher asking price!

I've had this happen on a MacBook.
Ended up replacing the whole LCD assembly because it cost the same as the panel itself.
At first I also thought it was just the LVDS cable, but did some googling and it seems to be a problem with the LCD panel itself.

Have you tried another OS?
I recommend a nice Linux Live CD to test, like Ubuntu. It should have all the drivers you need out of the box.
Did this problem just appear overnight, or did it get progressively worse?
May be check your power saving settings?

Those specs are correct, it is an 4:3 model, 15"

I just learned that I have bad video memory, so I will need a new motherboard in my T60. I'd prefer a T60 or T61p board, because of the higher memory limit. T60p is second on the list. (I will occasionally need the graphics chip so I'm not looking for an Intel GMA board, although if that's all I can...

So I guess I'll start looking for another 'planar' then.
Such a pity that I have to replace the whole motherboard while this system runs fine without graphics drivers...

Thanks for all the help and info!

Thanks for the speedy and helpful reply! I ran the diagnostics and it failed almost all of the video adapter tests. Only the "ATI RadeonMobility PCIE Test" passed, all the other, video memory, 2d test, 3d test, etc, failed. I guess I'll need a new systemboard now? What are my options regarding syste...

Hi guys, I got an awesome deal on a used T60, but it turns out it might not be all good... My "new old" ThinkPad is a 15" model with the ATI X1400 graphics adapter (FlexView! Woohoo!) My issue is the following: I have installed a fresh dualboot system (Ubuntu 10.04 and XP) and everything works just ...
