When I first started reading this post I have to admit I checked my version straightaway and sure enough I have the version mentioned. But I am having no problems at all with finding wireless networks. I am using the Atheros card and even though I normally have had great results with the newer Intel...

2nd Correction:

oartition should read partition. \\

Correction!

That should read fdisk /mbr

Just keep calling and eventually they may send it for free. I really think this is a bad policy for Lenovo. I had an issue where I was getting this error: Rescue and Recovery can not obtain the enviroment drive letter and would not install! I called and got it escalated to a 1st level tech who had m...

When I first received the laptop the media bay battery would not fit, the drive was almost impossible to remove, and they shipped me a new battery and an Ultrabay. Problem solved. The keyboard was an issue that I caused. I spilled a small amount of lime juice, (less than a drop) on my backspace key....

It does sound like you have a bad reader if it works in your Treo. I too have a Treo and have used it im my laptop. I have also used my daughter's SD card from her camera and it works fine too. Do you have a warranty on your laptop? I made sure I purchased a 3 year accidental coverage and it has pay...

I have an X60s with a FUJITSU MHV2100BH 100gb drive. I can't hear any kind of noise, vibration, whatsoever. I feel pretty lucky as I have not had any serious problems with this laptop other than minor hardware issues. Once, I had to have the keyboard replaced because something sticky got under the b...

Would you take $65 same terms?

I can't get that battery utility to show both batteries at the same time? It will show my media bay battery if I have the Ultrabase hooked up but not the primary battery. If I run the laptop w/o the base attached it shows my primary battery. Any one else experience this?

I am running BIOS 1.11 and I have used Excel and then closed it and I am at 9.33 watts right now. I think that everyone needs to state exactly what brightness they are running and what wireless devices they have running. I am just using the Verizon WWAN wireledd right now with Bluetooth and Atheros ...

Ok, I'll bite. I think it is pretty cool too. I assumed the shock detection worked but now I have a visual to look at and see it in action.

I am using BIOS version 1.10 and my battery shows 6.93 watts and 9 hours plus until discharge? I haven't really noticed any problems with any of the BIOS versions I have used. Is anyone else using 1.10 and getting good battery life? This is with all wireless turned on and not really doing anything. ...

I work in an IT department and we currently have about 75 laptops, 99% of them are Dells and most of them are have Intel wireless cards. I always thought that Intel or 3Com cards were good and I knew some Cisco cards were good although quite expensive. This is the 1st ThinkPad I have ever owned and ...

Have you tried more than one SD card?

Kim

Gunston,

I am saying that if you disable the "Power Control Beep" it will

completely turn off the "beep" when closing or opening lid.


The Volume Beep will disable the beeping as you lower or raise your volume with the buttons on the keyboard.

I am curious? I have a 170469U and my drive is FRU PN 39T2679. The date is May 2006, In device manager is reports as: HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-40839.

I am not sure if this is a good one or the lesser one?

Kim

At bootup press the blue ThinkVantage button and choose F1 to enter BIOS Setup. Go to "Config", then "Alarm" and in there will be 4 choices: Power Control Beep, Low Battery Beep, Volume Beep, and Password Beep. You can either enable or disable each one. I am sort of glad that I went in there because...

That is a good price. I basically have the same laptop. 170469U 100gig HD, 2 gig of ram, EVDO, Ultrabay, DVD, 2 power adapters, 2 batteries, leather case and 3 year ThinkPad Plus protection for $2623. It looks like they have dropped the price roughly $700. That is a pretty good price. I purchased mi...

Congratulations. In my opinion you have purchased one of the best laptops possible. I bought mine in the last part of June of this year. I bought the X60s, 2 gig of ram, 100 gig HD, WWAN, 8 cell extended battery, UltraBay with battery, DVD, extra AC adapter, IBM leather case, etc; I can't say enough...

I ordered my X60s in June of this year, and in the excitement of getting the order exactly the way I wanted it, the sales person and myself forgot to change the shipping address to my work instead of my home address. I called and was told that after ordering the shipping address could not be changed...

Are you sure you don't have the Symantec Client Firewall enabled?
