As statetd in subject - currently I'm looking for a palmrest matching t61 4:3 size. Need to replace this part because of faulty left button that tends to "fell off" when pushed

AUO is a shortcut of a company name AU Optronics that produces LCD panels

Having both 7648/7872 with Penryns inside - working like a charm, no issues. 42W7648 Middletons BIOS applied.

Thank you very much for your help. I've been using SSD with Win 7 on my first T61 for almost a year and it runs quite nice. Now it's time for my mum's T61. Following your opinions I'll vote for Win 7 once again. Hope I won't regret that.

Hi I'm going to upgrade my second T61 with SSD. The point is which Windows I should choose. Is Win 8 better than Win 7 today? Can Win 8 support Intel X3100 graphic chip?

BIOS update? It's strange as you've mentioned that computer has recognized HDD. Have you tried to install OS from CD having HDD installed on your T60?

Hi, One of our T61 (bought as second hand one) has an ugly "white" stain on LCD cover - almost in the middle of it -maybe from cigarrete ash? Is there any way to resolve that issue - I know that I cant restore the rubberized surface but maybe there is some sort of paint I can use to gently repair th...

Hi, I'm going to buy new genuine AC adaptor for my T61 via our local auction service called allegro. There are some offers of genuine AC adaptors but I'd like to get some info from forum members regarding visual indicators (like part numbers, label layouts, text descriptions etc) I should look for a...

As I said i used Lenovo Update Software. It listed some updates and there was Hotkeys update option. I accepted that recommendation and now I cant use Hotkey OSD feature :( Hurraaaaa. I've managed to find a solution. I found some old soft from 2010 in the Internet and installed it. Hotkey features a...

When I am in Gorzów I will check system restore history, but I'm afraid there is nothing interesting/helpful in there

To be honest I followed the recommendation of my Lenovo Update Software CRAP :evil: application and made an upgrade for Hotkey features. Previously everything had worked OK, after an update I wasn't able to sort things out. To mine mind there have some issues left in registers or some dlls and only ...

Hi, yesterday I made some updates on my T61 in terms of Win XP updates and some Lenovo Software updates. As a result it turned out that Hotkeys OSD stopped to respond - some features still work without OSD graphic indication (like Thnikpad Light), and some has stopped permanently (ie Fn + f3 or soun...

You can contact forum member called Tuus, because he has recently had one T61 4:3 SXGA+ barebone with some add-on options (RAM, HDD, etc).

Hi,

you're absolutely right in terms of LCD sizes - mine is classic 4:3 14inch. Transfering sticker is a good option, thanks.

Hi,

looking for parts mentioned in topic's subject. Preferably from Poland because shipping cost is an issue - guess parts will be cheaper than shipping. When someone from abroad (still from EU) has good offer please PM or write down in this topic.

Hi, I have a problem with my Firefox browser and touchpad/mouse window scroll. When I start browser without mouse attached to usb port and use touchpad to scroll vertically and then attach mouse the scroll speed of mouse wheel is reported by Firefox as if it was set to default value (extremely slow ...

I had the same situation regarding death of batteries. It happend in a very short time (month or so between each death -- irreparable battery damage - yellow indicator blinking and of course no charging). I started to suspect my laptop breaks batteries so I took it to a local computer/laptop worksho...

Small correction - HD3000 not HD4000(IvyBridge)

I definitely agree with billyj. I also own t61 with T9300 and SandyBridge i5 based t420s. When it comes to vbox ubuntu boot up procedure the latter one does it in ca 15sec while t61 need +-45 sec. So we have about 3 times better score - both machines have ssd drives and RAM amount is not a bottlenec...

Is my issue completely individual? Please someone give me at least some suggestion...

Hi, I'd like to ask what I can do to remove the issue with my mouse scroll. When I turn the laptop on with mouse attached then scroll works as it suppose to. But when I unplug mouse and then replug it os again scroll goes crazy - despite the proper option is set up in properties I dont feel like 5 r...

Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, let your dreams come true!

Hi Tuus, thank you for your offer. Despite the prices arent big still I can get new battery with 1 yeary warranty (not original of course) here in Poland for ca 150-160 PLN inc shipping (it is +/- $50). According to the power socket on MB I've found this post on official lenovo forum: "fried my batt...

Hi, Yesterday when my t61 was on battery suddenly turned off. I couldnt start it without AC adaptor. When it turned on the battery indicator was blinking yellow and Power Manager gave info about battery irreparlable damage (16% on power gauge and no charging). Can anyone tell what happened? Shall I ...

Thank you for all your statements. All words / opinions put above are very helpful and informative. I guess I'll turn towards Samsung 830 series available in local computer shops

With different environment I meant the current voltage of T9300 CPU. My T43, T61 and even T420s make some whining noise - it is connected with power management schemas for different mainboard element (eg USB ports, WiFi cads); it occurs especially when on battery when the power differs to the AC one...

Hi, I bought T61 4:3 Intel GPU form one of forum members. Recently upgraded RAM (current 4GB) and CPU (T9300) and now is time for SSD (with my current HDD [some WD] I get lags in Win XP). Can you recommend some models and brands, please? The capacity between 128 and 256GB is the only one factor for ...

I agree with miro_gt. Whining is connected with some ciricuits on the motherboard (especiallt coils). The new CPU tends to work in different environment than your T7300. The voltage can be different when battery is on. Of course replacing your current T9300 with the other one can make a difference a...

Hi there,
I wish I waited until now to buy my t61 from you. This one is slightly better equipped than mine .

Hi Raceboy!

Are you there? I sent you an email about my payment for that laptop yesterday and havent got any feedback yet. Please contact me via email ASAP.
