Thinkpads Forum

My W510 had to be returned due to electronic chirping and their inability to fix it, or replace it with a comparable model, due to the lack of FHD displays.

I bought an HP 8740W, but then they canceled it due to delays for their DreamColor 2 screens. It's made me mad enough that I don't think I'll be buying the 8540W (no reason to go 17" if no DreamColor 2).

So, I'm living on my X201 until next generation, and could really use a few upgrades.

What I'm looking for are:
1) AC Adapter
2) 9 cell battery
3) (long shot): Ultrabase.


Here's what I have:

1x New System Pull Atheros mini-PCIE half-height 802.11N 2.4ghz band card (won't work on Thinkpads, but may be a viable upgrade to another manufacturer's netbook)
1x Lenovo Windows 7 Professional x64 upgrade. I have a TechNet account, and had my laptops upgraded long before Lenovo sent these out, so it's just sitting around.
1x New System Pull ATI Radeon 3450 256MB PCI-E, low profile, dual VGA, S-vid out
1x ATI Radeon X1300 128MB PCI-E, DVI w/ VGA dongle, S-vid
1x ATI Radeon X300 64MB PCI-E, DVI w/ VGA dongle, S-vid
1x New Seagate 160GB 3.5" 7200RPM SATA HDD
1x New System Pull Western Digital 160GB 3.5" 7200RPM SATA HDD
1x New Western Digital 250GB 3.5" 7200RPM SATA
1x 2 day old Ultrabay HDD adapter (SATA/SATA genuine Lenovo)

Hi, I'm actually very interested in the x201 but have also read about chirping/CPU sounds from it. Do you notice any? Would like to buy but need to know if that is an issue.

No chirping from the X201, just the W510.
