I went to Micro Center today to check out T410 and T410s as I was thinking about ordering one to replace my T60.. However, the lcd screen look really terrible compare to IPS (all my desktop monitors are IPS) or even PVA (T60 is PVA) Is it true that all T-Series uses TN LED backlit panel?? If so, are...

What would you guys recommend when it comes to re-install XP on the old T42?? System restore obviously works, however, my recovery discs are dated from 2005 w/ XP SP2.. So all the drivers and IBM softwares are outdated and IBM update doesn't seem to work anymore.. Will it be better if I just install...

I just upgraded my T60 from T2500 to T7200 and immediately, I noticed that the fan noise is louder. I don't believe the increase fan idle speed has anything to do with the temperature rather it's determined by the CPU TYPE. The system automatically determinted that you have Core 2 Duo rather than Co...

What did you use to get the temperature reading?
Also, where did you get the T7200? I am thinking about doing the exact same upgrade as you

I also have a T2500 in my T60 and Rev.3 system board...

anyone?

I am looking for the one that's for T60/Z60 series

bump..still looking..

still available..I have returned from the winter hypernation and is back active again..

Well, just like pianowizard said, I really can't tell you the performance gain I saw is the result of additional memory or dual channel. I think the additional amount of memory helps more than dual channel as far as performance is concern. However, if you are going to upgrade from 1GB single stick, ...

It's a genuine Lenovo stick w/ samsung chips.

anyone interested?

Not true, my T60 is a 2007-67U and I can do custom re-install just fine.
My build date is Dec. 2006

Can you post your original model number and price so a more fair comparsion can be done?

I think the problem must be with 2GB SODIMM SINGLE STICK..

If you already have 3 external USB drives, why are you obsessed with getting ultrabay adapter for the original 120gb 5400rpm hdd?

I would much rather spend the money else where either on memory or even a docking station...

Why don't you sell your 120GB 5400RPM HDD then go for Hitachi 7K100 100GB? It shouldn't cost you all that much to upgrade this way.
Then perhaps you can even afford to spend extra $80 to $100 on memory...

You can uninstall Client Security Software and still uses the Finger Print Reader feature. There is a seperate Finger Print Enrollent Software in your ThinkVantage folder. I personally did a CUSTOM factory restore and select not to install Acrobat Reader, Symatec bloatwares, and google bloatwares. T...

Somehow my T60's power manager seems to display inaccurate battery charging information.

Like even if batter has been charged to around 85%, it still shows around 2:00 to finish charge?

No, the design of the T43 isn't fundamentally flawed; I really wish people would do some real thinking before spouting stuff out. There are quite a few T43s that do just fine, are silent, and have absolutely no heat problems. If the T43 is a fundamentally flawed design, then so are most of the T4X ...

Exactly, that's why I think T43 is a flawed product. Even with 5400RPM drive, T43 has a problem with heat coming from chipset/cpu/gpu, if you add 7200rpm drives, then the fan would be even worse. That's why TP Fan Control was created to partially solve the problem. However, even with TP Fan Control,...

Well..Lenovo still kept the name ThinkPad and IBM on the notebook.
Consider how good a job they did with T60..I don't mind the little Lenovo letters next to model number.
