I tried 1802 patch. I can boot to windows, network card is recognized but either driver work on it (2915ABG driver from Intel or Lenovo) I'm using the default wireless B for the moment, looking for a good bargain of 31P9701 or 39T0071 I check with IBM hong kong and they sent me quotation of 39T0071 ...

Done....but still not working, centrino logo is up, 1802 still there and now the driver won't recognize the card (Intel & Lenovo)

So I guess my card is useless now.....but I learn new thing.

It works! Got rid of the 2010 error! I just installed a new Hitachi HTS721010G9AT00 100GB 7200rpm HDD (non-IBM) and it had the 2010 error. However, I was quickly able to get rid of it by following the instructions above. Make the HDD Firmware update CD (provided by Lenovo on the website) Boot it up...

My T42 & T43 runs from 0800H - 2200H everyday, 24x7x365.... so far no problem

Update, The new bluetooth driver with Enhanced Data Rate is workin fine, noticed that it's very rare disconnecting (signal problem sometimes will disconnect the GPRS but not the bluetooth) On another note, the new Access Connection 4.11 keeps on powering off the 802.11 so I downgraded back to 3.81 S...

yup...did the same with mine. I downgraded my Access Connection to 3.81 because 802.11 constantly powering off itself...

I guess new update is not always working the way you expected.

Haven't try the XP SP2 Stack, I dun know how?...What I understand if I don't install the IBM BT Software, XP will automatically recognize the BT but not in my case...not sure why. Anyway yesterday I check the IBM web and found there's new BT update for T43, BT Software with Enhanced Data Rate Ver 1....

I did a fresh install on everything when I put the card on (I'm using the IBM Bluetooth IV software)

It was just disconnect again, I thought it was a cellphone signal problem but I went below the transmitter of my cell provider and it's still disconnect....

Hi All, I got a problem with my BT, before I install onboard BT I've been using PCMCIA bluetooth to connect to my phone for GPRS net connection and I don't have problem with BT disconnecting it self. And then I bought the CDC card since my T43 had an internal BT antenna, after I install I can connec...

Driven by irritation by 2010 and curiosity.

I bought Fujitsu MHV2080AH (80g,5400) production date Oct 2005, made in Thailand, checked with thinkpad firmware utility = updated

My BIOS is 1.24

WORKING OUT OF THE BOX!!

Hope this'll help others.

I just check my other T42 2373-NTH and found out that there's only 2 cable, so I guess there's no BT antenna installed.

Hi All !! Happy New Year !! Yesterday I just noticed before I off from my duty :cry: (On New Year....), I saw this 3 cable clearly from outside, located near the left hinges. Last week I opened my TP just to find out whether there's a BT antenna cable pre-installed inside. it was the white cable tug...

Download link not working, check the site the utility is no longer there.

I would like to try if 1.24 is working or not, currently 1.02 and I have no problem so far. just want to try.

Driven by curiosity I open my T43 2668-6EH and found out that BT antenna is pre-installed, I just need to buy BMDC3,clear plate and screw kit (Thanks Kenn for the pic) Now I will check my T42 2373-NTH whether it has BT antenna or not, will let you guys know afterwards. it's not difficult to check, o...

I just bought my 2nd TP on Christmas and upgraded the HD to Samsung 80Gb 5400, it showed the same display and the shop owner gave me the updated T43 BIOS 1.02, after I updated, didn't see the problem anymore.

Hi it's my first post,

Not sure whether I understand your message...

hope this will help...

go for 1Gb and above (Kingston or Corsair just fine)

or you can find info about RAm in the forum about Performance gain between 1GB and 2GB memory in T42 on 30th April 05
