OK thanks dr_st.

I said at the beginning i was confused. Not confused now though. .

"What makes you think Win7 loads a WWAN driver?" "What's the name of the device in the Device Manager?" These are loaded. They are Microsoft drivers WAN MiniPort (IKev2) WAN MiniPort (IP) WAN MiniPort (IPv6) WAN MiniPort (L2TP) WAN MiniPort (Network Monitor) WAN MiniPort (PPPOE) WAN MiniPort (PPTP) ...

HI, I have a 760XD. I haven't used it in years. I have 2 HDDs for it. On one I have Windows 98SE. On the other I have Windows 2000 Pro. I put a Cisco 340 wireless pcmcia card in it the other day, and was amazed at how quick Internet explorer (IE5 I think) is. Has trouble displaying some pages, but s...

Hi all, OK, thanks for those answers. I get it now. :). As regards there not being a W/Wan card in my T60, I'm still a bit confused why W7 loads a W/Wan driver if I don't have a W/Wan card. But hey ho. Going back then to what system board I have. The HMM says : FRU 41W1360 -- 1952-CTO, 24x, 43x, 44x...

Hi there all, T60-1952A97 Intel Graphics. Windows 7 Pro. Question 1. This is probably a silly question, but I confess I'm confused. What is the difference between a W/Wan card and a W/Lan card. How/why would I use a W/Wan card in my T60? Question 2. Hopefully not so silly, but I'm still confused. My...

Thanks 4uk4a. Much obliged. Downloaded the file very quickly indeed. Sorry RealBlackStuff, I didn't notice those. :(. But I know they're there now. Thanks. :) Odd thing is, that I tested the Lenovo support site again just now, and the file downloaded pretty well instantly from there too today. But y...

Hi all, As per title, I'm having trouble downloading a bios update from the Lenovo website. I'm trying to download bios update Version 2.27. File 79uj34uc.iso from here --- http://pcsupport.lenovo.com/gb/en/products/Laptops-and-netbooks/ThinkPad-T-Series-laptops/ThinkPad-T60p/downloads?linkTrack=Cap...

Hi all,


Yup, USSS, I have the latest version "lscsetup_x86_34002.exe". Installed and uninstalled about 6/7 times now, and it simply won't work.

But if all it does anyway is give me information I can get elsewhere, I guess I'll give up.

Thanks all anyway. .

Hi, Just 'upgraded' to windows 7 ;) Anyway, it all works fine, but because PCdoctor 5 doesn't work in W7, I decided to try Lenovo Solution Centre. But although it appears to install without any problems, it won't work When I try, all it does is show on the task bar. When I try to open it, nothing ha...

Three years ago, I was having trouble getting the onscreen display working in Windows 7 on my Thinkpad T60. But then I went back to XP and forgot about it. Now though, I've gone back to Windows 7 and fixed the onscreen display. And I've got the old thinkpad green bar version working too, by installi...

Hi rkawakami, I agree, it could be dodgy, but as I said in my first post, it passed all the memory tests fine when installed alongside the original 2GB. But just to be more certain, I took the Samsung 2GB module out, and ran all the memory tests just on the Adata chip alone, and let it run for an ho...

Hi thanks. I've been using it now for about 5 hours, so I reckon it's working ok. I think I'll just leave it alone. I'm pretty sure the Adata memory module chip is ok, but even if it does turn out to be duff, it only cost me £2.24. So I won't lose much. But as I say, it's definitely working fine. It...

Hi, Thanks for that. Unfortunately I don't have another module to try out. And anyway, doesn't the fact that my Samsung 2GB memory chip works in the upper slot, show that the slot is good?. That's why I asked if the memory was slot dependant. I know that in the past, you had to populate certain memo...

Hope nobody minds if I re-open this. T60, 1952A97, initially 2GB on one Samsung chip. This was initally installed in the 'lower' slot nearest the front of the laptop. I've just bought and installed another 1GB memory module. A used, Adata AD2667001GOS 1GB, DDR2-667 200 pin Sodimm. When I first insta...

That's odd, thought I replied to this. Never mind I'll try again. Thanks USSS. I'll check those things out. I've restored my XP pro image again for the moment, until I sort out all my unknowns. Then I'll re-load W7 and have another go. I assume that PM is power manager. That was definitely loaded in...

Sorry if this has been answered before. I have searched but can't find it. I installed Windows 7 SP1 on my T60 I installed Powermanager 1.48, and it works perfectly. However. I can't get the onscreen display feature to work. I installed the latest version of Hotkey features to get the onscreen displ...

Hi all, Thanks for the replies. Here's an update. I didn't buy the Dell drive in the end. It turned out that there was no warranty. Dell told me on the telephone, they only warranty if bought direct from them, and if it's installed in a Dell product. Even though the dive is brand new, there didn't s...

Hi both,

OK, thanks for the info. I'll go ahead and get the drive.

Hi all, I've been offered a brand new DELL hard drive cheap, with makers warranty. This may be a daft question. I'll ask anyway. Would a DELL branded/supplied hard drive work properly in a Thinkpad T60. The reason I ask is that DELL say, -- "We specify and control the manufacture of our hard drives’...

I do ask, prompted by the Delhi or Bombay accent. They seem quite happy to tell me it's one of the Inidan security offices of Microsoft. My usual reply begins and ends with with F. LOL.

OK. Thanks for that. That means I don't have to drop everything soon and install W7. I'll wait to see what happens to me. lol. I already get daft calls from India telling me my computer has been hacked. I just ignore them, and so far the house hasn't burned down, I haven't had any money stolen from ...

Really? I hope so. I've been reading all kinds of dire warnings about hacking and security etc, and no more support for IE8. -- I guess I can use FF or chrome.

If nothing bad will happen, what's all the hype about? Are we(me) being conned?

Hi. Ok thanks for that. I'll check out ebay for an extra 1GB ram. I've also downloaded Power manager 1.48, from the link in a previous post in this thread. So when I feel inclined to have another go installing W7. I'll try it out. Meanwhile. My XP pro installation is so stable and reliable, that I r...

Hi all, Hope nobody minds me opening this old thread again. :). T60 1952A97, currently running XPpro sp3. 2GB ram 220gb HDD. Because XP is now officially coming to an end, -- sadly-- , I thought I'd invesitgate Windows 7. So I recently tried an install of W7 Pro, service Pack 1. The first problem I ...

Hi Easy Wind,

Thanks for the reply. I've only just seen it.

have you confirmed the FRU and could you send me a pic of the board, both sides?

Thanks

Thanks Brad.

I'll take a look in the manual you mention.

Anybody?

Hi all, I would like to get a spare mother board for my T60, as a spare before (in case) it fails. It's a 1952A97. Can anyone tell me if all T60 mother boards are the same, and if not, how do I find the correct part number to buy a spare for mine? Also, according to PC Doctor, I have Total Physical ...

Regarding your bright spots on your screen after replacing your backlight, this is common, it's hard to get a perfect fit, especially since your bulb probably wasn't designed by the manufacturer specifically for that screen. Thanks Tuus. That could explain it then. But anyway, as it's only on the t...

Yup it says "We may ship a 100% compatible part." Not, we will . I've spoken with them on the blower, and they sent me a pic of the exact screen I would get if I ordered. On the back are exactly the same numbers as on mine. FRU 13N7051 and LTN141XA-L01. I reckon 64 quid for a new genuine lenovo/ibm ...
