Re: T440s First Impressions

I've received my T440s yesterday. It came as replacement for a failed T420s that according to Lenovo Europe, was beyond repair. Since they sent an extra 4GB RAM to match the configuration of the replaced unit, and I had to fit my SSD, the unit had to be opened. As all others have pointed out, that i...

If I press at the base of the display, the stripe changes color an most of the time goes away. Does anybody know what is the faulty component, Since I had success asking for free rep...

Re: T410s are they still cracking?

An update on this. After placing the part service request on the IBM website, I forgot about it. I also spoke to a very kind customer service manager that explained that I would have to either ship or leave the unit for a possibly free replacement. Next thing, a replacement palmrest shows up at my U...

Re: T410s are they still cracking?

I have a T400s and sure enough the left palmrest corner came cracked as I bought (supposedly new).
I have just placed a service request via ESC+ and "hope" to have it replaced under warranty. Otherwise I see the part price is $56 online.

Self-healing display

Hello and happy 2009! I cannot understand why but I found that my T43's SXVGA+ display apparently has self-heals properties! Two days ago I transported the TP in a backpack as I did often. Back home I found an irregular area about 1" x 2" to be brighter, contiguous to the bottom border. I supposed i...

A subtle hint from Lenovo ?

I've just ordered an NMB KB thanks to the great info given here.

Now, perhaps it is just me with too much imagination in thinking there is an hint in this, but guess what is the order in which the makers are listed in the spare parts manual?

NMB, ALPS, Chicony. And the price, $ .50 higher for NMB.

I see the one that I have currently is Chicony, and it is very good. But I need a localized keyboard, and will order NMB.

New KB: NMB or ALPS ?

Hi,

I'm about to order a new internal keyboard for my T43, and I can choose between NMB and ALPS maker.
I like the 'semi-firm' touch that I've found in most (but not all) TPs.
What is the best choice in your opinion ?

Thanks for any advice!

Tab,

get the number from the HMM manual or the part publication, online.

Call parts and ask to verify availability and price. If in stock, place order. The T43's KB cost is about $45.

Bluntly punt, I think that:

- Non-orderability to the general public of systems with a non-windows operating system, or open bay.

- and, the addition of a Win key :)
