Yep, second that. I agree with johnmcdonnell. I too have one working in a T61:

2nd HDD Adapter Ultrabay Slim SATA 26R9247 26R9246

For reference it DOES have the little black tab.

This is something I've been considering for a while for my 15" Frankenpad. While over at NBR I noticed miro_gt had posted this: if you'd like to further improve the cooling abilities of the T61, if you have space (just like I have on my 14" standard screen but not on my 14" wide screen T61) then you...

I know, I couldn't believe it when I first landed here. I found the depth and breadth of knowledge astounding. Combined with the fact that members are keen to help, positive, and share knowledge so readily makes it a great place to hang out. I found it reassuring that when I first started modding my...

3 weeks ago I installed the 45N4592 (discrete) heatsink in my T61 FrankenPad. It is allmost a straight swap in, you only need to remove 3 small fins on the top. However, after boot up I noticed some keys of my keyboard not working. It were some keys in the middle, the T, Y, G, etc. I figured I didn...

IIRC when first installed the sensors are only labelled numerically. If you'd like to know which sensor applies to your CPU, GPU, etc... then ThinkWiki should give you a few clues.... http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Thermal_Sensors#ThinkPad_T60 ....and once you know which is which tpfanco should allow...

tpfanco works well in Ubuntu. It's based on the original tp-fan work by Sebastian Urban but is updated and has packages ready built for ubuntu. You'll find it on the google code pages and it's a breeze to install. The gui is excellent. I'm not sure how accurate the temp monitoring is but I've used i...

Great post! Thank you.

I'm a bit late to the party as I've had a few days holiday but it was good to come back and read about your success.

@dozer, the fan and heatsink does all fit perfectly in my Frankenpad (NB: have a look at my original post regarding proximity to the board and some from of insulation). It doesn't push against the keyboard at all. I have a T60p chassis, with an intel 965 intergrated 47w7872 planar which I pulled out...

Received mine safely in the mail yesterday. Really well packaged so no damage and was pretty quick from the US to UK.

What can I say, the condition of the ultrabay adapter is amazing! Very clean and tidy. What a result to get the genuine article at a such a fair price. Thank you.

Maybe it's not clear from my post but yes I think in your case it will be quieter. My situation was similar to yours. Before I built my Frankenpad I was using the intel planar the same as yours in a complete T61 14" screen unit. It had the integrated fan on it like yours which I replaced with the T5...

If you'd like to use the ericsson f3507g it's not really a problem if you're willing to reflash your BIOS with a non lenovo one from middleton. You'll find the new BIOS downloadable here... http://forum.notebookreview.com/lenovo-ibm/459591-t61-x61-sata-ii-1-5-gb-s-cap-willing-pay-solution-8.html#pos...

PM sent.

Well, I can't be sure as I haven't actually done what you're thinking of. I wouldn't want to discourage you especially as it seems like you have the tools, ability and vision :D I suppose I'm cautious for a few reasons. Even on my intel board the space/height available does look a bit tight. Looking...

Exactly the one! Thanks RBS.

Doh! Just noticed the ebay photo shows the p/n stamped on it. Guess I should have looked at that on mine, lol...

think_madness, I think I've worked out why I didn't have the part no for the bracket to hand earlier. I think it's available from IBM only as a bag of "System miscellaneous parts (15.0-in. LCD models)" and the part no for the complete bag is 41W6302. It looks like it comes with the DC cable, CPU sup...

@julukaForever, yeah!!! That blew me away!! I've read and re-read your epic post and I still don't think I'm brave enough to try it! @Johan, thanks, it's just good to be able to give something back, however small. I've learned so much from everyone here. @bmwman91, from reading the German thinkpads ...

I tried this recently with the T500 fan with great results. Seeing as I couldn't find much English info on this one I thought I'd post my experiences here in the hope that it'll help someone. BTW the German Thinkpads forum is a mine of technical knowledge if you're willing to take the time and effor...

Yeah, I genuinely thought my dock was faulty when I first started to use it. The fan noise is distracting to put it mildly. How anyone could work with one of these going off!...... I think you've got 3 fans to contend with (not counting the one in your notebook). The 5200 PCI card has one on the GPU...

Maybe the thread doesn't belong here in the T6x forum but hopefully it'll catch the attention of plenty of T series users, some of whom may well be in the same situation. When I was working through this high memory problem I couldn't find a single sucessful post anywhere on the web. Lots of stories ...

Hey RealBlackStuff you might want to read the thread a litlle more carefully before you call someone's post a BS story. Specifically the EDIT in my post where the OP had already pulled up my mistake via PM. moltar, I'm not at home at the moment but will be later. I'll post up my BIOS settings and se...

Just a thought....how much RAM do you have? I know the question doesn't seem relevant but I've found that when using my T60 and T61, with 8gb RAM, if I set the primary to be PCI it wont boot and I get the beeps at POST. If I pull the RAM and try with just 2gb it boots fine. Just to be clear, that's ...

I've done this recently. Check your PM for some help.

Wow, this is wider than my QXGA 15" T60p!

I had a UXGA before I did the QXGA mod and you'd be right in thinking that the QXGA isn't (quite) as good when it comes to colour, viewing angle and ghosting. Bear in mind the UXGA is exceptional and the QXGA is still pretty darn close. You also lose a little brightness with the QXGA what with the b...

Great job! Thanks for documenting your build and capturing some decent photos too. I have a T60p QXGA and am in the process of gathering the parts together for this mod (as budget allows) over the next few months. This really helps. I'm sure it'll prove useful to other users too. Thanks. Have fun wi...

Great machine! I never thought I'd see you let this one go.

It was the motivating inspiration behind me bothering to build my flexview x200s and qxga T60p Frankenpad - but then I dare say it was also inspiring to many other people too.

I'm sure it'll go to a good home.

I would guess this isn't normal.

The hinges on my T60p are really tight. No wobble at all.

Thanks gordan it has been useful. I completed this a few weeks ago on my t60p and use linux so was very grateful for your updated work on the EDID. I used a copy of windows 7 while doing the mod and, as you found, while booting I had the vertical stripes but once windows was up and running it worked...

Just wanted to say thanks to khtse for posting your .icm profile. I did this mod back in September on my x200s with the glossy version of the HV121WX4 panel and it made a huge difference then. However the profile you posted is like the next step up and I'm really pleased. I don't own a Spyder and mo...

er....unless I've missed something...I don't think it'll fit.

The Boe Hydis website lists that panel as 1024x800.
