Re: BREAKING NEWS: T61 nVidia thinkpads now being repaired N/C

UPDATE: just back from depot, repaired free of charge. Running cool and quiet so far, knock on wood.

Lesson: follow the script, be polite and patient until you get a sympathetic CS rep. Thanks, Lenovo!

Re: BREAKING NEWS: T61 nVidia thinkpads now being repaired N/C

Hi all, I'm yet another case: the T61 6481-CTO (build July 2008), which has been constantly overheating to the point of shutdown (despite always running on a fan-driven cooler) finally died last night with exactly the "one long and two short beep and black screen" everybody else described. The CS re...

Graphics laggy in T60p with FireGL 5250 running Win7Pro

I have a T60p with the FireGL 5250, upgraded to Win7Pro32 from VistaBus. Everything's great except for the graphics driver situation: my previous base score was 4.2, and then it plunged to this: Processor Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU T7200 @ 2.00GHz 5.1 2.5 Determined by lowest subscore Memory (RAM) 3.00 ...

Re: T60p 8744-J2U driving 1920x1080 LCD

I also have a T60p (8744-J2U), and use it with the Lenovo ThinkVision L220x Wide LCD Display native resolution 1920 x 1200. Works great as is, no dock.

Urgent help: cloned HD upgrade w/ Acronis TI11 fail

I followed this procedure exactly (except for using Manual mode to adjust size of the hidden partition) using TI11, going from the stock 100GB to a 320 on my T60p: I'm new to the forums and I've been using everyone's tips here to upgrade my stock Hitachi Travelstar 100GB to the 7K320 on my T60.

Re: T60P Harddrive Upgrade

I too need to upgrade the 100GB in my T60p to a 320GB, and I appreciate the various recommendations. HOWEVER, I'm really confused as to the best way to transfer the image, as I already have Acronis TI11 but not an external enclosure. While many posters seem to be following this route: ...
