In my T420 there is a sim card slot behind the battery. but to get a sim card to work there need to be a WWAN card in slot located beside "memory" slot in the laptop. There is a lot of 3G card for sale. But since 3G is not working anymore (denmark), then I'm looking for a 4G/LTE card that will work....

Hi I have some T420 laptop that need internet access. I have found a slot behind the battery that should be for sim cards. There is a white adapter right now. Is it just to put in a sim card there? beside simcard I think it also need a antenna of some kind. If I remove cover to the memory slot at th...

Hi My old T420 work laptop I used to connect to my imac with displayport cable. As soon I connect it my imac switched to show my laptop. Now I got new T470 laptop. It has no displayport or minidisplayport. But it has a HDMI port. I then bought a HDMI to mini displayport (minidisplayport in imac). Bu...

Hi

I have this T530.
Think it's missing the BT module.

But ebay have 4.0 versions for 9 dollar, so not the problem.

My question is... is it possible to use 2 BT headset to the T530 at the same time so that booth can hear movie sound from a movie?

Thanks for the answer

I though I have HDMI, but i Think the port that looks like is display. I'm not sure of the diff. But in "old" days I got HDMI. Now it's display. Why that? Is it because of better resolution in display? Is there a way to get HDMI in a T420 in some way? Expresscard? I know I could just buy a cable hdm...

Why waste money on Lenovo, when you can get it much cheaper elsewhere? Search for this on eBay: displayport to mini-displayport cable -hdmi -vga -dvi -thunderbolt I thought there was some quality diff. ? :-) Found this here in europe... minidisplay to display.. http://www.ebay.de/itm/LENOVO-Mini-Di...

It's Displayport, trust me. My X220 has the same port, and I actually need an adapter cable to make it work with the HDMI input of our LCD TV. ahh.. thats why my hdmi to LCD did not work. Do you know if a t420 also have a displayport or where did you get taht picture from? maybe you also know where...

thanks... just the one I have 27"

I thought this port was HDMI?

But maybe thats the same?

Anyway... assume I then need to buy a cable with large display port connector and mini displayport connector in the other end.

I have a thinkpad T520 as work pc. At home I have an late 2009 imac I would like to use imac as an monitor for my T520 and only monitor. Mouse,keyboard and sound still from laptop. When I google it seems only to be possible if my laptop has a display port or mini display port, because that is what t...

I have done this: monitor 1 on VGA port docking monitor 2 on DVI port docking monitor 3 on HDMI port docking And it's almost working. Sometime the 3 screen after reboot says cable not connected. And because mu default screen is more wide screen than the other 2, one of the other screens have problem...

Seems that thinkpad display always need to be display 1 ? Is it not possible to have 3 monitors active and closed lid on laptop? maybe 3 active monitors and also open lid as 4 display? And then move windows between all 3 or 4 ? you can just use the Displayport from the laptop itself, then you can u...

Nice

But don't think thats what I'm looking for

I don't have this dock.

maybe I could connect 3 monitors with:

1 VGA
1 AVI
1 AVI to HDMI

is the last one possible with a AVI to HDMI converter?

I found a setting in the power manager in advanced - power plan - advanced settings - idle timers

where i have set "enter system hibernation" to never.


the problem on such a Lenovo is that there is windows power options and Lenovo power manager..

who decides what applies??

is it to unclear what I mean?

I have a problem with my laptop.. I have just got a T520. before that I had T420 and before again T61 When I had the T61 bi could close the lid and laptop went to sleep (assume that the moon symbol is sleep and not hibernate). Then I next day could open the lidt and it was ready to log on in 10 sec....

Seems that thinkpad display always need to be display 1 ?

Is it not possible to have 3 monitors active and closed lid on laptop?

maybe 3 active monitors and also open lid as 4 display?

And then move windows between all 3 or 4 ?

Hi

How do I attach 3 monitors to my T520 4240-5BG?

I have seen some have 3 monitors attached to the docking station and then the laptop screen as nr. 4.

But how to do that...

I have only 1 vga and 1 dvi in my docking.

Here is a link about the kind of cable needed: http://www.cultofmac.com/20176/using-imac-as-monitor-requires-very-specific-cable/20176/ Apparently your T420 has a display port connection... so maybe the cable is all you will need. http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/DisplayPort the first link appears to ...

I don't have an iMac, so never had the opportunity to try such a thing. But, I figured Google would know how, and so here is the first response: http://techtips.salon.com/use-imac-pc-monitor-1648.html I did google something like this... just not sure what a mini display port is and what kind of con...

anyone knows how to do that.

Only useful port on imac is a mini display port.
Must be some MAC port ???

can I use this and how?

It's V RAM, which stands for VideoRAM. Of course you could try another LCD cable, although these rarely fail. And you could try another LCD. But with almost 99% certainty you will find that the GPU is at fault. Your money, your call. Lucky me... my company have all the spareparts (free), so I just ...

If an external monitor works, but not the internal LCD, then you have corrupt VRAM. GPUs have two outputs, digital for internal LCD, and analog for external monitor. One can work while the other does not. Only remedy: replace the motherboard. What is WRAM...? What about connections from motherboard...

external monitor attached... picture is back... Hmm.. grafic card
or maybe driver?

no no ... it's a standard T60 without any kind og modifications of any kind.
