Sleep/Standby is no longer working on my Win7 Pro X200T. It worked fine until recently. Now if I use any means to introduce sleep (close lid, FnF4, click sleep, etc.) the HD does something, the screen goes blank, but it does not sleep. The screen remains blank and there is nothing to do but a hard s...

Harryc, Thanks so much for the links! I think that is the way to go. Do you think lenovo would cover this under warranty?

Yes, the screw is captive in the cover. If I drill it out, I won't have a screw there, which would make the cover stick out a bit I think. I think by two options are to (a) use the warranty or (b) take the whole motherboard out. How hard is it to take the whole motherboard out to change the ram? I a...

So I get 2x2GB=4GB DDR2 ram for my x61s (which now has 2x1=2GB dual channel), and went to unscrew the ram plate and install the ram. I have done this procedure on many other thinkpads, so I don't think it is going to be difficult. But when I go to unscrew the second screw (farthest to the right when...

Atreides,

I need a battery for my x61s. Where did you get your battery, and how much did it cost?

Thanks,
Aris

UPGRADE! I had the X61t for about 2 years, and the x200t for about 5 months. I use it everyday. On paper, the differences seem slight, but in reality the x200t is WAY BETTER! The inking and touch is much improved, the sound is much better, and the screen brightness is much better as well. Battery li...

I installed the Win7 Levonvo power management software and it doesn't work at all. I'm waiting for the final drivers.

Hi, I use my X200t for a lot of presentations, and need to switch among many monitors and monitor resolutions constantly. The Presentation Director used to help with this (especially in tablet mode when I do not have access to Fn-F7), but at least I could open up the computer and press Fn-F7. Now, W...

Hi, For a while now, even after uninstalling and reinstalling the Lenovo Powermanager software (in Vista), the computer does not go into standby when the 15 minute idle time is reached on battery. Instead, the X61t waits until it is at 10% to go into standby (since that is the emergency alarm settin...

Hi. Thanks for the tip. However, I cant find the On Screen Display settings in XP or Vista. I go to display properties and can'f find them anywhere. I don't have the Productivity center installsed (but the hotkey drivers are). Is that what I'm missing here?

Best,
Aris

Hi, I have the same issue with all 3 machines. I work from my laptop (an X61t, X31 and/or T42) on battery all day, and have the monitor turn off after 1 min to save juice (in meetings, etc.). This is a great way to work, since I don't need to haul around the power brick and plug in at every meeting....

Cool! I was worried I'd have to rig up something if the tab was taped onto the old hard drive (which is how it appears in the video). Thanks!

Hi, I'm installing a new hard drive into my x61t and I noticed the thinkpad video shows a "pull tab" on the old hard drive that needs to be pulled on to get the old one out. How do you transfer the pull tab to the new hard drive? http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/MIGR-62795.html Thanks, Aris

Hi, THE PROBLEM: My X61T is having trouble. After Azureus crashed the system about a dozen times requiring a hard reboot, Vista crashes upon loading now. When vista loads, it looks fine, but if I click on anything I get a pale while screen overlay sating the process must end. Now vista only loads in...

I agree! Thinkpads are for traveling business men and women, who often want to skype their family while on the road (but don't want to fuss with an external usb video camera) or want to video conference from anywhere. A cheap and useful addition to all tps would be integrated cameras.

Does the T61 15 in lcd come with an integrated camera? Thanks!

PCLinuxOS is by far the best for easy install and compatibility, of the distros I've tried. Ubuntu requires more work to get all the drivers working.

I've had an X61t since Sept 2007 and an X31 since it originally came out. THE X31 IS SUPERIOR IN ALMOST EVERY RESPECT. It is lighter, quieter, better keyboard and trackpoint, cooler, smaller, works with NHC, better battery (X61 gets same battery life with huge 8 cell, much less with 4 cell), the X31...

ryengineer,
That worked perfectly. Thanks so much!

When I press the gray mute button on the upper left of the keybaord, and then go into tablet mode, I am unable to turn the sound on using the tablet shortcut menu (which can be accessed with the black key in between the esc and flip buttons on the lcd). I always have to take it out of tablet mode an...

Hi,

I have an X61t, and the power off display feature (under power manager) and Fn-F3 do not actually do anything. I have Fn-F3 set right under the power manager, so why isn't it working? Does it turn off your display?

It seems I have two choices: 1. Pen works so-so and touch works fine (Lenovo drivers only) 2. Pen works great but touch not at all (Wacomm drivers only) Installed in both XP tablet and vista. Both installs have the same problem. If i use the lenovo drivers alone, the touch works well but not the pen...

I have the X61t with XP Tablet 2005. Which file should I use? 1. cons5.05-7_int.exe: Driver 5.05-7 RC for Windows Vista (32 and 64 bit), XP & 2000 2. pro605-7_int.exe: Driver 6.05-7 RC for Windows Vista (32 and 64 bit), XP (32 and 64 bit) & 2000 The 2 drivers seem the same except on is the "comsumer...

I have to turn off multitouch in order to get hte pend to work on both XP and vista for my X61t. With the multitouch on, the computer randomly switches from ink to text to lasso mode in journal and onenote 2007. Any ideas?

Where are those options in Vista?

Video works fine in XP, but not in vista.

My XP and Vista installations are as identical as possible (codecs installed on both), but vista does not play videos properly. I have able 100 serious problems with my X61 now. I must say, it is the worst computer I've ever owned. My X31 was flawless, but the X61 tablet sucks. It has one set of pro...

All my DVD and Divx and Quicktime videos are really blocky and pixelated, especially at fully screen (not so much when the window is small). I dual boot XP tablet with the same machine and have no problem in XP. All drivers are up to date. I use WMP, quicktime, VLP, and have the same problem with ea...

Hi Tab. It seems to happen anywhere on the screen, but I tend to write notes in the central areas so maybe there is something wrong there. It doesn't happen with a multitouch passive stylus, but I don't write text with a passive stylus very often. The text does not eventually appear, so it is not a ...

This is driving me nuts, since I try to use my tablet to lecture in front of 100 students, but can't do it effectively. The end of about 25% of the words I ink into journal or onenote get cut off. When I am writing with the pen on my multitouch XGA X61, the end or words don't appear. So when I pen i...

It's an OEM preload, with all drivers updated. It is some sort of a driver issue with Vista I imagine, but I don't know what it might be. I just reinstalled the trackpoint driver, but it didn't make any difference. So I'm now in the habit of sleeping the computer every time I switch from tablet to l...
