undocking x41 without key?

[czukuczuku]

hi yea lads

i have problem, i just get a x41 but its seems its locked with a key (wich i dont have) to a ultrabase, so is there a way to unlock it with out it? or maybe i can barrow a key from someone who got it, will this work out? i dont want to have such a big x41;(

Unless you find a burglar with a set of lock-picks, or someone with exactly the same key, your best bet is to drill the lock out.

ohh thats too bad, i thought maybe all keys are same, as its not anty theft lock but an anty accidental disconnect protection, anyway, thanks a lot. i'll need to find someone to help me with this drilling. but after this dock will be usufull, right? just no lock..

If you drill out the lock, then the dock will still be useful, it just won't lock.
But if you decide to go the HULK SMASH path and bust open the dock, then it'll be ruined.

thank you guys:)

Maybe you can try disassembling the dock?

it found out that i didnt pull strong enought the realese latch... so now after separation it looks really stuning and i have big headache, to take it or n150 summy netbook on my upcoming asia trip;)

ohh and it is so fast even with 4200rpm hdd comparing to my t23, outstanding!


btw. x41 ac adapter got 16v 3.5a stats, will 16v 3.36a ac from t23 work fine as well?

[RealBlackStuff]

The T23 should have had a 16V/4.5A/72W charger.
All 16V IBM adapters will work, incl. the 4.5A versions.

[czukuczuku]

yea, i thought as well mine is 4.5a, but when i checked, it finds out its 3.36a (fru 02K6550). computer works with it for more than year, without problems, so is it unsafe using 3.36a?


other thing i found intresting is that n150 is brighter on the lowest level, that x41 on highest, i guess this is the diffrent between lcd and led..

[RealBlackStuff]

3.36a is OK for the X41 on its own.
For using the X41 with the dock you should use the 4.5A
The 3.36 will get warm on the T23, but will still work. The 4.5 would be better though.

Myabe you have to destory you ultrabase @_@

[czukuczuku]

my ultrabase is doing fine

few more question;
i just get another tp from the series, this time x40, this time with complete different ac, not ibm, whats bother me its 19v 3.95a, wont this hurt my sweetie?

does all x41/x40 preinstalled hdds suport aps? if so, do i need any additional drivers or its not nessesery?

and last one for now; (dont laugh;) are there any risk of electric shock if i touch those battery pins on the back of notebook, during working on ac without battery? (im asking couse im very anxious about electricity, from time i get once shocked, luckily that wasnt very serious)

cheers!

Throw that 19V charger away or sell it!
It can only damage your TPs.
All X40/X41 need 16V chargers, 3.36A for the bare machine, 4.5A with dock.
There's no harm touching the battery terminals.

APS is part of the IBM/Lenovo software. Not every hard disk supports it.
