Back at it. I returned the new, potential knockoff bluetooth card and bought a tested working pull off card. Still having the same issue.
Went through a Lenovo troubleshooting tutorial and checked the airplane mode settings. No luck.
Any other suggestions?

Re: T420s Bluetooth Installation Problems
Just tried it. Hitting the Power on Bluetooth button caused the laptop to shutdown/hibernate with a low battery alarm. Removing the battery and hitting the button again did nothing. Maybe I got a bad Bluetooth card.

Re: T420s Bluetooth Installation Problems
I was able to use a Windows Restore point to restore back before I updated the Lenovo software which got rid of the Fn+F5 power control. Unfortunately Bluetooth isn't listed.

Does my Thinkpad 10 have a Wacom digitizer?
Recently purchased a Thinkpad 10 second hand. I didn't realize at the time that some models didn't have Wacom digitizers. I did a fresh install of Windows 10 on it, and its not recognizing the pen. Device manager doesn't show any unknown devices and the WinTab driver says the tablet isn't supported....

Thinkpad parts service issue
I have a T410s and the rear two rubber feet are missing. That's the two little rubber pads on the bottom by the hinge. Not sure when they fell off, but heck my T410s is almost new and under warranty, I figured a quick call would have some sent over. In the past Thinkpad support has been awesome abou...

Looking for a 5in1 Media Card reader for a T410s. FRU is 45m2658. I've seen it available online for $48 shipped but I was hoping for cheaper (since I can find an ExpressCard reader for $10 and a USB for $1.50). Anyone have a pull they aren't using?

Multiple coats won't do anything. The spray contains a solvent that "melts" the old layer.

Re: The "Titanium" cover on a "Z"
The plastic didn't seem removable without damaging it. The paint has been wearing off. My suggestion would be just to clean off the old clear coat and reapply a matte clear coat. I did that to a second machine and was much happier with the final result.

I notice hinge screws need to be re-tightened periodically, but that's even on non-serviced machines.

My titanium lid did not save mine. A tip I learned: you can use a panel from a Dell Latitude D620. You will have to remove the inverter panel attached to the frame, but its not too hard and D620 panels are more widely available than Z61t panels. T61 panels are compatible as well.

Thank you!
And I like the black lid as well, I tried to get it with Plasti-dip, but if you look at the other thread, it was a failure.
