x250 wwan whitelist

Hey there, I was wondering if Lenovo branded ME906S is whitelisted in x250 machine ? I know that one sierra module is at least whitelisted (EM7345 i think), but it seems to be quite a bit more expensive than the ME906S which is whitelisted at least in x260. Another thing, is it possible to remove ww...

Re: Buying a used x201T

Passwords: you just want to make sure there are no BIOS passwords on. I would always wipe the supplied OS and either reinstall using the Windows COA and install Lenovo utilities from Lenovo support website, or install your own OS. Sellers may put the latest version of Windows on without providing a...

Need a picture from a part of a X31 motherboard

Hey all, I got my hands on a very good condition X31. However apparently as a result of a failed PLL mod one of the legs on the CY28346ZI-2 is cut off (S1 if my memory serves well). Therefore the system forced on running at 66MHz FSB resulting in a max cpu speed of 1000MHz. I managed to mend the bro...

We had a similar problem at work with T60-series computers. We found out that updating the bios to the newest one helped in the situation. However im not sure if its the same thing with T4x-series.

If Lenovo hasnt provided me with virus then its virusfree. Just got 20 of brand new X61s and 10 of them are still in the box, so it should be virusfree :-)

Thats the basic stuff not to sell virusaffected products.

Yep.. im just wondering if i'd buy Transcend 32GB for about 180USD or the 64GB from you.

Okay its twice the capacity, but the price is high compared the 32GB model and the capacity in Transcend is enough for me.

I'll have to think about the SSD. Price is still a bit high for my taste (i know that your price is inexpensive in a matter of SSD, but still. 550USD is much for just hdd :)
