also remember the thinkpad 600 seriouse only have a 16 bit cardbus, and the majority of today's 32 bit card's will not work.

If im correct I don't beleive v.92 came out til after the 600 series was manufactured.

what part's exacly did you replace? as it's possible you do have a faulty motherboard, the only think i can suggest until your next reply is purchasing a can of air $6-$7 just about anywhere, and spray down in there and try and clean it out the best you can. Also: check for broken pin's on your hard...

okay cool..

I asked the seller, and he went a revised the listing.

Hopefully I can get the money for this, else i'd snatch it right up.

thanks for your help beejay... loL! narly name dude XD

I came across this listing, and thougt i would share it with everyone, you can get this for parts, or just format the hardrive and install windows, and you got a thinkpad....

It sure has been a while, I forgot all about Good ol thinkpads.com

Good to be back again.

Yes you should, but go get a 2005 or 2006 Thinkpad, get some thing nice so you dont have to keep buying used thinkpads that die.

This may be a stupid question, but are you sure the Ram stick it's self is not bad?

If you have replaced the LCD sub-board a few times, then it is unlikely all subboards have a broken microswitch, but is possible, goto ebay and pick up a decent looking subboard and replace it again, if that dose not work, then some thing else was oviously damaged when the power cord was snapped out...

Hey.

thanks.

Hey thanks for the reply. I did end up figureing out that it is in fact a HDD failure. I replaced the HDD installed XP pro, as a matter of fact, I am tryping on it right now.

I am not sure if the origianl HDD can be fixed.

I guess we"ll see.

I recently was given a thinkpad R40. 1.8GHZ 256mb of ram.

When I boot up it gives me error "0200 failure fixed disk" press F1 for setup.

Can any one help?

Thanks in advance.

AUX. I ran into an instance like this (HDD greyed) and was a result when I mistakenly shipped a Bad motherboard back to the seller with my 6.4GB hdd still in it. I received the HDD back in the mail, and that's when I ran into problems, i simply smached it down wards on my hand several times, and my ...

Google everything the message says about your driver, I am sure you will find it. try Re-installing the driver if you already have it.

Yeah sounds like it's going. you can purchase a thinkpad 600X motherboard for about $100.00 on ebay although it must include the bottom chassie part.

First off, I think you mean a "600E" right?

Second, Yes any "brand" will work if that's what your asking .

I also know that some CPU's have 2 or 3 speed options, that can be changed from the BIOS, or a Program.

The machine also could have been modified befor you got it.

I am not clear on the specs for the 770s, but if it is as advanced CPU speed at at least 366MHz (original factory CPU) then if you went to ebay, and picked up some PC66 128 SODIMMS then you should be fine.

Wizard.

Hey dude.

as long as the 600 screen is a 13.3" screen it should work.

There is no link that I know of that shwos how to replace the LCD but I can email you the PDF file 600X manuel.

You can't relacement the backlight.

Wizard.

Ebay my friend, Any where else is too espsensive .


Wizard.

Try taking a can of air, and spraying down into the slot.

Take the Hard drive, and smack it downwards onto your hand a few times, make sure your holding it right side up, and wack it down a few times. Sounds to me like you misplaced an arm in the Hard drive, you can also try spinning the hardrive on a hard flat surface. If that dosen't work, then freeze th...

Don't swet it I have a bunch of those sub cards, I'll send you one.

Contact me by email.

Got some bad news and some good news

The bad news is your motherboard is fried, the cmos capaciter has burnt out, can get it replaced for about $200

The good news is there is a wide selection of Motherboards on ebay from

$45-$65

Wizard.

Hmmmm.

The Center button switches between the trackpoint and the mouse, ifa mose is plugged in.

Can't help you on the HDD password.

There should be a tiny reset button on the left side, with a square symbol below it, get a small pin or needle and push the button to reset everything. That may help but no promises. It is also possible that the F1 key is not working. For windows 98 you must have a boot floppy. Hope that helps. Wiza...

This happened to my very first thinkpad.

Bad motherboard.

Replace on ebay, $45.00 to $70.00

To Fix the trackpoint you must replace the keyboard.

I have suceeded in replacing a track point from a nad keyboard (bad trackpoint) to my good keyboard (bad track point) but only for advanced Techs.

Ebay has them for about $40.00
