<F1 to enter setup>



Any ideas?

I have pulled the keyboard off and cant find anything that looks like a "IBM RFID" from pics from Ebay, I also D/L the manual and it says to enter the supervisory password, but if I got to BIOS it shows that its the password is disabled, I enable it and it didnt do anything, so I disabled it.

ANY one? Is there even a RF antenna on the T21?

Relax a little, it takes time for the right person to come through and see your issue...(not that I am that person)

Take a look at the Hardware Maintenance Manual, on page 105 and see if the Asset ID RF adapter has anything to do with it.

Sorry, I am just agrivated with this thing (T21), I bought it, then the RAM went out, then the Hard Drive, so I though I would upgrade the processor to 1000ghz and a T22 fan, then I had some cooling issues (incorrect programing) and Then it would still just randomly lock-up and go to blue screen.... I couldnt figure it out (done this for about 2 months) and then it just started this ERROR thing (I am kinda hopeing that whatever kept doing the lock-up is the ERROR) the WiFi is a PCMCIA card. And I cant dont have any idea what this antenna thing even goes to... but I will rip the keyboad bezel off and look and that part you mentioned.....

Ok.. I have torn it down to that part..... Which I do Not have and I am not sure if I have ever had it. It looks like it could come out while the HD is out. I can see some contacts (circled in red) .
