Re: FHD+ IGZO panel for P52?
Should be possible, as long as you have the right cable (FHD 60Hz panels use a 30 pin connector, anything above that requires 40 pin), and the LCD is the right size and uses the right mounting points. I'm not entirely sure how the LCD is mounted on the non-touch models though, and you might want to ...

Re: P52 - Trackpad middle click not working anymore
Dare I say it: why not use a mouse? Nowadays I use a small Logitech M330 Silent mouse with my T440p. Its clunkpad was upgraded with Alps touchpad+buttons, but the touchpad has been disabled. I use the trackpoint maybe once or twice a month. Dare I say it: why not use the International Business Mach...

Re: upgrading from P50...
Can also recommend a 770 machine. My 770Z runs super well, and is even highly upgradable. At some point I'll upgrade to a 500MHz Pentium III for hopefully 50% faster performance. It runs even XP pretty well, though I mostly use 2000. It has that patented IBM design (ie it's an all plastic [censored]...

Re: T43 Wireless Issues With Windows 2000
Firefox 12 will run, just it won't actually go to any webpages, except the home page. I tried running the Opera 12.02 install program, and it did nothing.

Re: T43 Wireless Issues With Windows 2000
I tried K-Meleon 74, which works, but is very buggy. Whenever I type into the address bar at the top, it usually just infinitely tries to load the page with no luck in actually doing so. I got it to go to Google twice, but it's not exactly that great. And sometime when I try to load a page, for exam...

I tried Pale Moon 26.5, which blue-screened after opening, and I couldn't find a Comodo Dragon setup that would run in the first place.

Thanks! The program now works! When I tried to join my network for the first time, it always got stuck in the same part, but I fiddled with some settings, and got it connected to my network!

Re: T43 Wireless Issues With Windows 2000
I wasn't able to use the software you linked to me since it wasn't in English, but I found a piece of software called IBM Access Connections , which I'm guessing is just the older name for it. The software version was 3.53, from 2004. When I tried to run the program after installing it, it kept sayi...

I used the executable I download, and ran it. The executable put the driver setup in C:\DRIVERS...

T43 Wireless Issues With Windows 2000
I decided to install Windows 2000 on my Thinkpad T43 since it's practically the same as Windows XP under the hood, but I prefer the classic Windows look. I installed all of the drivers just fine, except for the wireless driver. The computer has the Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG adapter, and after instal...

Re: ThinkPad 770z Can't Read HDD
Hello, I've come back to figure out why I can't get this computer working. I tried to get a power board, but after searching all over, I still couldn't find one. I was also not able to find a LCD display inverter. Anyway, I've really been wanting to get this to work because I've recently wanted a co...

Hello, I've been trying to install OS/2 on my new Thinkpad T43, which I may add, has the original HDD with original OEM install and recovery partition, but I always get an error when trying to install OS/2 on the part where I set video/network adapters, and put in username and password, and it has t...

Re: ThinkPad 770z Can't Read HDD
After looking for any (visible) issues with the power board, I've still found nothing (visibly) wrong with it. Since I can find them online relatively easily, I think I will buy one, since they are realatively cheap to find online, and I don't want to go through more hassle to get it back up and run...

Re: ThinkPad 770z Can't Read HDD

Re: ThinkPad 770z Can't Read HDD
Thanks, but again, I don't think it's an issue with the HDD itself, unless all of a sudden, every single IDE HDD that I have all of a sudden stopped working in the exact same computer but still works fine in all other computers (that use IDE) I have. It's basically impossible to be a HDD specific er...

Re: ThinkPad 770z Can't Read HDD
Yes, I've seen that topic before, he was trying to get it to boot into the HDD, which is what I'm trying to do, but that still wouldn't explain why DOS won't recognize any HDD I put in it, whether bootable or not. So I don't think that that is the issue.

Re: ThinkPad 770z Can't Read HDD
I already have the original HDD in it, it still doesn't work at all. And yes, the HDD is in the boot order, and it still doesn't work if it's the only drive in it. Also I don't think it not being in the boot order would make it so the DOS wouldn't recognize the drive at all.

Re: ThinkPad 770z Can't Read HDD
The issue Isn't the capacity of the drive, because the drive it came with was an 8gb drive, and I've put 40gb and 160gb drives in it and they all worked fine, until now, where none of the drives I put in it work.

Yesterday, I was using my ThinkPad 770z, making a DOS boot diskette for a friend who needed it, because I was the only one who owned a computer with the ability for floppies and CDs. All was going well, I had some issues booting to the disk, so I booted to my backup disk. I wanted to edit the code a...
