Now it doesn't boot at all, the status and Ethernet lights will turn on for a second, nothing else, not even the fan.

Any loose piece of metal in the case causing a short? I'd also check the logs in debian to see if there was any specific error before the shutdowns. I removed the little shield thing, and now it will last an hour or even more, and now, when it shuts down I don't need to remove the battery or AC ada...

Have you checked that your fan is actually running? Could the air-inlet (on the bottom) be dusted up? The fan is running without any problem, it will go through all the 7 speeds with Tpfancontrol, it's a little noisy, like it needs some lubrication. I cleaned the case before putting it back together.

How likely is for the keyboard to create a short circuit, or for the fan to be the problem?
BTW, temp2 (lmsensor thinkpad-isa-0000 temp2) on Psensor shows -1 C

So here is the thing, my x200 was working flawlessly until last friday, when it shut down immediately after trying to wake it up from sleep mode (under Debian), as if it overheated (althoug it was not hot at all). After this, it will only keept itself on for a couple minutes on either Windows 10 or ...

So here it's, It arrived today (I'm charging it while writing this, it came with 5% of charge), and they didn't ask me for the old one https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/gwPceJbrktRm7NlQNXhErsB9jtl4A_b-6QCh3M8vcuA=w640-h480-no https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-JvpESfOvu-g/VUyNrXNxUHI/AAAAAAAAG64/7Os...

What about a X61? It would cost me almost the same (with the docking station and a decent battery) as a T60

You might help your cause if you said what you're looking to spend. I would think the X220 would be a good replacement for the Atom and you can hook up a screen to make it a desktop. Not that much, I still have my T62p (T500 mobo frankenpad) project, and a VW Bug 91 restoration too, so... I'm likel...

So I want to give my dad a Thinkpad for replace his old Pentium 4 Desktop and Atom Netbook, first I was thinking about fixing my T61 14.1w, but then I was thinking, does it worth? I meant, it needs a new display, screen bezel, palmrest, battery and another stuff, and is not like it was the best Thin...

I don't think it's possible to use the Ultrabay on a T60 after converting it with a widescreen mainboard. If el-sahef and nobody at nb51 has been able to do it, it's probably not possible. Well, It's time for this forum to be the first in something no? Never underestimate the power of Mexican ingen...

el-sahef is probably the most talented modder I've ever come across. He has helped me on many occasions, such as my X301 AFFS mod. (still WIP) Me too :bow: , his work is awesome, I Was hoping to be able to use the ultrabay on the Slimmer T60 body, maybe I will ending up using my "Mexican ingenuity"...

Well, goofyGAguy is selling me one (really interesting, since it comes from a Assembled in Mexico, IBM Branded (it only mentions Lenovo in the copyright) machine) for an X amount , but I'm still looking for the IPS LCD and screen assembly, give me a starting price Um, there is a reason things of th...

On a different note, Is a R400 Mobo compatible with a T400 body? I found a cheap death Mobo T400 in Mexico, and I was thinking about fixing and giving it to my dad, instead of fixing my ex-T61 for him, but for some reason, T400 Motherboards costs at least the double in comparison with the R400 ones

and also I want to have the ATI GPU, so a R500 Board is not an option There are R500 boards with ATi graphics, they're just not easy to find. http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Category:R500 Does the ultrabay gives some kind of rigidly to the Thinkpad? Yes it does. On a different note, how much are you ...

It seems el-sahef on the German Thinkpad forum converted a R500 mobo successfully.

I was one of the fortunates (or unfortunates? :? ) who happens to own a eligible battery (from a X200 I recently bought), I already sent my request for the new battery (using the manual method since I'm a Linux user). I will post some photos when it finally arrives :P https://lh4.googleusercontent.c...

Wow, i was not even remotely aware! HOPE again!
Good luck with that endeavour, mate.

Gracias , if I do the project, I will upload the progress

There are no T500/W500 mainboards in 4:3 form factor. Due to connector compatibility reasons it is either a 4:3/T61 mainboard with DDR2 RAM or better forget about your project. Even if you had a variant of this here in mind (viewtopic.php?f=29&t=110323) , swapping a T500/W500 16:10/15.4" mainboard ...

Hi :D , I'm thinking about building myself a 4:3 Frankenpad, after looking my options, I think I will go for a 15" one. What I need is the complete (good shape, and preferably with IBM Logos) body without motherboard (or with a dead one), HDD (but the caddy and cover), RAM and keyboard. I also need ...

Mine is really simple,I chose it because of the Vocaloid "Kagamine Len"

I Actually looking for a AMD CPU because of the GPU

Hi!,I'm currently living in Taiwan, and a Very close of me cousin ask me to get him a new Notebook, since he will use it just for normal tasking, and some casual gaming, i was thinking on a laptop with an AMD processor, sadly, all Business solutions i had found have Intel processors. Does anyone kno...

I have all the parts you need to fix this, some of them are very inexpensive. If you'd like to send me a list of the parts you need I can give you an estimate and shipping cost. I'll need the 7 digit model number of your T61. Thanks TuuS, but sadly, my T61 will need to wait (Maybe 1 year :cry: ) , ...

I almost forget it, i will go to Taiwan in a couple months, it will be cheaper to get the parts in Taiwan, or they will cost the same as in Mexico?

Hi, I got this T61 Widescreen a couple years ago, and since then, It become my main Laptop, sadly, it was the cheapest T61 that i found back then, and it was already damaged, the screen was loose, their bezel was cracked, and it didn't have their HDD Cover. There is some images of it: http://s28.pos...

Great, Upload some photos when you have it

I Will post my Desktop Later

Even if Both Are Wide Screen?
