Re: fan control for x62 on linux
did anyone managed to come up with a table that eliminates the noise at all?
I have tried different combinations but the noise does come back every time.

LF: DDR2 ram 2x4GB 667 or 800 MHZ
Hi,
need to buy 8gb ram for a t61 (2x4gb).
I see a lot of those for about $75 (with free shipping) on ebay.
So was wondering if someone could offer a better price (shipped to Switzerland).
800HMZ is prefered, but will consider also 667MHZ.

I have done few tweaks to fix these. 1. I have added few vbscrip/bat scripts ...

Re: X6X-series LED backlight conversion kit howtos
Just disassembled the lid to check It's definitely a fancyboost. Exactly as the one on your page. Oh dang, those are harder. You need a ~30V LED strip and I can't make those (well I can, but I have no PCBs to do so). Does it use LEDs that fire up or sideways? what do you think about these? https://...

Re: X62 problems, quirks, and fixes
When I put the machine under load the fan doesn't kick in when on battery, with power supply it starts at >65C and keeps the teperature on 85ish level. On battery the machine goes above 100C without any sign of fan working. Seems like a bios hardcoded issue, is there a bios version that has this pro...

Re: X6X-series LED backlight conversion kit howtos
I have an iccfl kit installed on an sxga+ couple of years ago. The brightness now is lower than on a non modified screen
Could you suggest a led strip that will work directly with the modified x61 board from iccfl.com ?
