if i get into the mood, i might do a bluetooth usb mod. i don't feel like paying lenovo/ibm 53 bucks to ship me an internal usb bluetooth adapter. =D

Welcome to the Thinkpad Forums

I really like that video. Pretty entertaining as goes by the standards of the Thinkpad video tutorials that IBM used to do. Certainly better to some extent with the addition of the Courage Drink and the Power Food. Quite instructional.

thank you christopher for the warm welcome. i am so glad this forum added the lenovo section! i was about to start a forum of my own, but i don't have the time and dedication. katch told me about the addition of the lenovo forum. i plan to help fellow lenovo users to the best i can just like katch has been doing.

as for the video, i actually followed the FRU replacement directions. i didn't need to remove the wi-fi card, but when i was filming, this was the first time i took apart this laptop =D my next step/wonder is the usb bluetooth integration. it's 53 bucks from lenovo/ibm....just found out it's a bluetooth 2.0+EDR. so 53 dollars sounds tempting since it's a drop in replacement, but the bluetooth led will be blocked by the strip. so we'll see what i storm up with next =D

and thanks again for the warm welcome. =)

Hope everything goes well for the Bluetooth integration.
It is great to see people like you and Katch doing good work to help out with the Lenovo-branded laptops as, unfortuanately, they are not really that common and widespread in comparision to Thinkpads and, hence, there hasn't been too many users reporting in here about them.

the footage was almost an hour and a half long! lol. good thing i had the liquid courage. =D. i felt like crying when the computer didn't turn on. luckily i had footage that showed the computer turning on

. it was tough handling the crew and the upgrade. lol! i can't wait for a working pentium m cpu upgrade and a matching 1 gig memory module. the 915 chipset in my lenovo supports dual channel, but supposedly undocumented.

it will only work on sonoma (915) chipset laptops. it pumps up your fsb from 400fsb to 533fsb. so a 1.5ghz should pinmod to 2.0ghz. however, there are problems with voltage (sometimes), so you can pinmod vid0 to vid4 pins to up the voltage. try googling pentium m pinmod for more info

Ok, so for example if I buy a T43, I could put my T41p Dothan P M745 and pin modd it to run @ 533MHz ?
