I went through the install process the other day to upgrade from Windows 7 (32 bit) to Windows 10 (32 bit) on my T500. Everything seemed to be going well until the machine rebooted. Then after the Thinkpad splash screen, I received some sort of error message. Unfortunately I did not take a picture ...

I buy a good IDE SSD Trancend 64 GB. I try it to my T43p.

I install windows with the original Recovery CD. All done well.

But, hdd light indicator ON all the time.

Is it normal?

If not, why and how to repair this?

Thanks for your support

Richard

Hi, I have T43p and for some reason i must replace my IDE HDD to Non Thinkpad harddisk (Samsung) First boot, there is Error 2010 (compability issue about Non Thinkpad Harddisk). I continue this process and boot from Startup Recovery CD and trying to recover to original factory state. All files from ...

Is there any chan g c e that my hardware did not support the momentus XT? or is there any another setting in i the BIOS? No and no. Forget automated activation. Select " Activate by phone ...

Maybe it has to do with using the same Windows COA and its refusing to be used again. I did come across this problem once with a machine I previously did a clean install with. Worked fine for a year, but my aunt had a problem where somehow Windows wasn't genuine after a year. I don't have a clue ho...

Hai.. Two weeks ago i tried to change my HDD (WD black 320 GB) to Seagate Momentus XT 750 GB. This disk is a second hand disk and work fine in another leptop. Before use, i run a check disk with Sentinel. And the disk seems good. I test to install windows 7 64 bit with the DVD original from Microsof...

The date is important since the nVidia chips prior to August 2008 had a design bug. This means your T61p is one of the risky ones. This has no impact on the screen you want to buy itself. But you may consider that if/when the chip fails, you will be able re-use the screen in Thinkpads from the same...

There were T61p's with that screen ex-factory. So provided that your T61p is working fine there should be no problems or impact with a WUXGA screen ;) You have a model that has the (in)famous nVidia chip. Could you check below your model type the manufacturing date and post it here? Manufacturing d...

I have already buy a second hand T61p 15,4" with type 6457-CS5 and i check the LCD. I found that the LCD have been replaced to another one with low resolution (1280x800). The normal Reso based on HMM of my leptop is 1680x1050 (FRU 42X4641). I want to replace the installed lcd to be the original LCD ...

You need to have a little bit of trust between buyer and seller. Fortunately most of the buyers I've dealt with have been pretty good. Machines that I bought via the local classifieds are thoroughly checked with the seller in person. Of course it would be difficult to check FRU numbers in person at...

No such software exists. What are you being afraid of? BIOS will tell you all you really need to know...and moninfo can help you identify the screen, but that's really about it. Good luck. I have been misguided by a thinkpad seller in my country when i bought two R400 thinkpad. He said that all of ...

Is there any Software to Check the Originality of the Thinkpad Hardware including the FRU of the hardware?

I want to use that software when i bought a used Thinkpad.

Best Regards

Report : I am trying to install BCM4313 from Dell leptop. 1. before flashing BIOS, my T500 did not run, i read a BIOS warning. 2. I flash BIOS, BCM 4313 detect and windows automatically search the driver and BCM 4313 installed very good. 3. I try the BCM 4313 to detect bluetooth. But it could not de...

As long as you are familiar with the process of flashing your BIOS, there is no negative impact. If you are good at following directions, then you have nothing to worry about. If you skip steps in the process, you could ruin your motherboard. Talk to the folks at BIOS Mods on MDL. They have a reque...

Sorry, but that would be a no go. The ThinkPad T series have a BIOS whitelist where the only models of wifi cards that will work are the ones that were originally offered on the ThinkPads. To get that card to work in you T500, you would need to get the hardware id of the card and then either have y...
