Re: New methods to reduce the fan noise in a T60 or in a T60
Did you read this by the way? yes indeed, an interesting point. since I have built-in the T61p fan I also wonder sometimes where the fan is as you can`t hear the fan sometimes. before the change I was thinking about why not deinstalling this annoying T60p fan as I know that the cpu and gpu should r...

Re: CPU upgrade on a T400?
I too just upgraded (2 days ago) my T400 to a T9900. I haven't gotten a chance to really look at how well it's cooling, but I can say that so far I haven't seen a problem. sounds cool & would be very interesting if you could post some temperature results or even a report of a stress test under heav...

Re: CPU upgrade on a T400?
I have a spare E8235 (processor from a MAC) that has the same performance specs as a T9600. I used it for 6 months in a T400 with no problems. (swapped by the original owner). The "E" processors run a little hotter than the "T" or "P" ones, but I am not a game player, so it was fine for me. The rea...

Re: WUXGA upgrade on a T500?
many thanks guys, sounds cool! I will give it a try. I swapped the LCD on my T500 from the 1280x800 panel to a 1920x1200. I had to replace the inverter, though only because the 1280x800 was LED backlit and not CCFL like the 1920x1200. Aside from accidentally ordering a glossy screen instead of matte...

Re: T60 vs T61 with 15.4 widescreen (compatibility)
Can I assume that no cutting needs to be done to make the swap them? I remember that I found ones a post which dealt with a mobo replacement. but unfortunatly I cant rember where I found it ... more than a year before ... however, if I remember well, it was reported that except the one or other min...

WUXGA upgrade on a T500?
did anyone tried to change and/or upgrade the original LCD`s (max. resolution 1680x1050)
with a high resolution WUXGA LCD (1920x1200) such as the ones for the W500 or T61p series?
question then would be if the inverter has to be changed as well?
many thanks for sharing your experience in advance!

Re: T60P 15.4" widescreen
there are two WSXGA+ brands used for T60 and T60p.
you should look out for the LG Philips (FRU 13N7020) panel
which is brighter than the Samsung (FRU 42T0329).
