Re: Bright spot on screen from Trackpoint contact
There is a white thin layer of plastic at the back of the screen. The pressure marks appear when that layer gets uneven. The unevenness can be fixed if it is permanently pressurized by something. Once i managed to fix it simply by moving the source of the pressure (it was cable). But if the pressure...

Re: Bright spot on screen from Trackpoint contact
there is a better solution... What you need to do is to keep the screen a little bit further from the keyboard when it's closed. You may notice also that when the screen is closed and the locks have clicked into their places there is a little play allowing the screen to come closer to the keys or fu...

Re: X61 - Proposed hacks under $500: Almost complete
VPCSA. Fits with almost no trimming, I just had to remove the metal lip. The framerate at 1280x1024 is only 7 though, so if you know of one with a higher res / rate that fits, I'd be happy to know! The only fitting camera with high resolution that I know is the T410/T510/W510. But I had issues conn...

Re: Best replacement WiFi card for X61?
and what about heat comparison?
I am currently using a 6250 and it is much cooler than the original, but still not as cool as I would like. So are there other cooler alternatives?

UPDATE: Installed webcam in place of BT. Works great! Pics to follow. Great job, congratulations. I did the webcam mod as well.

Re: webcam mod for x61 (PICS)
I suspect that the problem with driver is that the system recognizes it as a generic usb webcam and tries to use it with the default 640x480 resolution. While the camera simply doesn't support that particular resolution. That's why it works with webcam viewer once you change default resolution while...

webcam mod for x61 (PICS)
Hi, I have been working on a webcam mod for my x61 recently, so would like to share with the results so far. As you know there is no much space inside the x61 screen to place a webcam. So for me there are two options: 1. a tiny webcam module from another model to be small enough to fit into the spac...

If there's a WWAN enable setting in the BIOS, try enabling it. Yes, it was on. Did you tape Pin 20? Otherwise all USB cards in that slot without FRU get switched off like you experienced. No, actually I didn't. Do you mean that they get switched off when machine goes to sleep? because the USB was w...
