Describtion of ports (connections)

#1 Post by svenruppelt » Sun Apr 03, 2005 12:42 pm

:oops: Hi! :oops:
I've got a thinkpad 600x without a manual. That's why I have to ask two questions:
1. On the right side behind the button to open the monitor I found a smal round plug with 3 contacts.
2. At the right of this plug I found one behind a acces cover - a smal flat one with copper contacts.
Can somebody tell me what they are for?
Bye
Sven :oops:

600 right side ports

The round one is a TV (actually video) OUT, from the DVD player it only works if you want to watch DVD's on an external monitor (If in the us it's NTSC)... That takes 2 pins, not sure what the 3rd is for

The flat one is the external disk drive adapter. The floppy drive can be put in the ultra slim bay or in a special external adapter that plugs into this port.
(Thus leaving the Ultra Bay free for a second battery, CD, DVD or ZIP drive)
Nothing adds excitment like something that is none of your business

Also, see items #1 and #8 in the FAQ.
