I need to dig a bit deeper in my memory...

G51 definitely did not need a different ribbon cable for UXGA.
G41 - AFAIR - did not need a different ribbon cable for SXGA+, but I think I couldn't make UXGA to work.
G40... can't remember at all. It's sporting XGA in my garage

After that? We'll see. I can recommend Noctua NT-H1 - am using it on quite a couple of my systems and it does great job. Easy to apply, and lasts for (at least) 3 years - I have used both TG, AC5, AAB different inventions, but always got back to NT-H1. Did some ccomparison tests that were especiall...

This list will be updated over time; hopefully within a week or so :) For now up to sale: SYSTEMS: 1. T430s modded with FHD screen; i5-3320m, no RAM, no SSD, battery in "green" (genuine), no PSU, rare nVidia GPU - asking $230 + shipping as-is; may reconfig it at request. The display is nice and brig...

Heading for home George?

I really hope the next owner of this stuff puts it into good use. If i'm still building 15" units I'd love to get that, but my job is finished. Aaaaand I'm on the wrong side of the pond

Hello fellow thinkpadders, I am tinkering around an old M93p I've bought years ago for a good word. Turns out after all these years messing with electronics I have some RAM, I have a proper CPU, all the peripherials are here somewhere as well. The thing is, I also have SOME graphics card that I beli...

I have a couple of those. PM me for details.

Hello, Yet another T61p from my stable. T9300, 4 gigs of DDR-2, no HDD/Charger, but may supply them for extra cost. Working genuine battery. WUXGA screen, display is crisp and nice as far as I could tell. DVD-RW. Plastics in good cosmethic shape, however with lid being heavily scratched. I have no m...

I still have some number of those I could sell. 4 or 5 I believe.

No, unfortunately not. Modding the BIOS is too complicated for me.

I think I have seen a successfull attempt on the german forum. Try to take a glimpse over there. I will also try to dig it out a bit.

Well, what you're saying is correct, there is a higher configuration. But in this case, higher does not mean better, at least for me. :D Sorry, but no. Writing "max configuration" you are confusing these ones that are unaware that this can be installed in this particular one. "At least for me" is a...

It features FHD IPS display (B140HAN01.3), Core i5-3320m CPU, 8GB of RAM (Kingston HyperX 2133MHz), Samsung 860 EVO 250GB SSD, Intel Centrino Ultimate-N 6300 WLAN card (3x3), 3G module, 2 batteries (regular + Ultrabay), 90W power adapter... This is basically as good as it gets. And the laptop is in...

Hello!

Up for sale two GENUINE T9500 CPU's - almost the fastest Penryn you can put into your T601!

Both pulled from T61p, genuine (this is not that obvious since the market is full of knockoffs).

$50 a piece + shipping; $90 + shipping for both.

I should have done that long, long ago, but the pics are here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1RIk3p8sgLrogUjo8hl6NxZg_7T4eDzpk?usp=sharing There are some pressure marks on the panel (visible on the panel when turned off) and it is a bit darker in the middle. Very low to no yellowing though,...

The audio sockets on the R500 planar face the front. If you were to insert that as-is in a R60 you'd have to cut the structure frame, then the plastic as they'd be recessed should you want access. There's quite a bit more to it. If you bought your first from el sahef or mimic his then he just remov...

Audio registering through the camera? Meaning - the laptop sees the USB camera as a USB audio device? Nope! Hardware-wise the microphone shares PCB with the camera. Same ribbon cable for both. Camera is not visible in the device manager at all - tested two cameras. Audio recording IS working, howev...

Hello, I've recently bought a used T450s for my wife. However, the camera is not working / not visible in the system. Hence I have replaced the cam. No effect. Replaced the ribbon cable. No effect. Mobo issue? oO or is there any extra "incompatibility present" from Lenovo on this system? Windows 10 ...

I did the same. Cutting the plastic introduces weakness and detracts from the cosmetics. It can be done properly though, sealing the reader access surrounding, but it is such a lot of work. Different thing with the audio jacks for the R500 planar in a R60 -- a R62, by the way :) I've built such sys...

Hello!

Well I'm a happy owner of a working-but-terrible-condition A21m. Long story short, I'd happily get this one the question is: what would be the shipping cost to Poland?

Hello there, I have a one piece of this system for sale. It's just another "T61p" I have been able to find :) This is a Penryn-native rare unit with WUXGA screen (without any defects as far as I can see); graphics chip dated 0813 rev. A2; build date April '08. Working great under full load. Plastics...

Hello there, I have bought a nicey T61p this week, and while doing some maintenance I have found an AH-VD920H installed in it. While I was almost certain the device has not been disassembled ever (you can't imagine how much dust can there be inside a 13-years-old system), the card is definitely not ...

You can leave a card in the reader, just can't access it once assembled. I don't know what good candidate cards are though.

Well you can. Just cutting some part of plastic and you're there.
I left mine sealed though ^^'

My newest rig consists of a Thinkpad P53 and a NEC P212, 21" 4:3 IPS monitor. Yet, somehow, I'm still attached to the Frankenpads for comfort and good ergonomics. I'm running a P50 + eGPU + 2x thinkvision 2453p (24" WUXGA IPS). This does not change the fact, that the same LCDs are being connected t...

Can you add some photo editing to the frame and the whole device? The T61p has a memory card reader, did you remove it here? Puff... I was taking pics while building that one, but can't find them now... I will be making further maintenance end of this month so will open it and upload some fresh pho...

I remember wujstefan building a FrankenPad with a R500 board in a 4:3 R61 shell. Not for the faint at heart Yup, working on it every day, love it. Absolutely best thinkpad I have ever had. And the list is quite long. Actually the first one I had was bought not built; later on worked over two such d...

Just checking you know about TuuS and his boards ? Not the cheapest ($130 + $40) but surely the world's finest :) Last I heard he was on his final couple of boxes.. (This would obviously imply somebody else will need to do the job and you'll also need a CPU and possibly RAM, and oh, thermal paste a...

Hi, what is condition screen, can you please write the device specifications and price here and someone picture? Thanks. I hope I find some time this weekend to do that. The screen condition is great given its age, no reddish tint and even the yellow-halo is not bad. No pixel errors. As for the pri...

I've got one I may consider selling. Too many thinkpads not enough time This is a complete frankie with QXGA panel.

Up for sale is my X201 that has been lying around for a few years. It is in great shape - I'd strictly grade it at 9/10 cosmethic. Hinges are tight, keyboard with minimal wear, lid with minimal scratches. You can see the pictures here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1TYxanC1aig6LYgn89iX7rWD7...

Well you can't have a better 16:10 display. I have owned this one before (two or tree times), this device is great. Note that thinkpad trackpoint can be used in this keyboard :D Please provide us with some more details. Bluetooth. DVD type. Battery health. RAM amount (and number of RAM slots - they ...

Yeah I am aware of that. But wouldn't liquid metal help in shortening the temperature difference? Also on a T61 with NVS140M what's the typical operating GPU temperature if fitted with a better T500 heatsink anyway? This is to-be-discussed. I have found heatsink from T61p (3-heatpipe) dissipate hea...
