• 1.25 GB of RAM - Acceptable for a T42?

  Hello and seasons greetings to all.

  I recently bought a used T42p (2373) on XP that came with 512 MB of RAM. He ran like an eagle, however, I decided to update my RAM with a 1 GB extra, which totals to 1.25 (a 1 GB more 256 MB). The 1 GB memory in question is a DDR-333 PC2700 333 MHz and 200 pins. I can't be sure what the 256 is, although I suspect that it was originally shipped with the laptop if that helps.

  Windows recognizes the additional memory, but acted as I made the change. First, he takes his time on the Welcome screen when booting (about one minute to two minutes) and host process errors are frequent when I open certain programs and folders.

  My question is that my situation memory is acceptable, should it work with the T42 or I would be better to remove the piece of 256 and it works on 1 GB? I searched around and haven't found the answers.

  Hope you can help. Thanks in advance.

  Just to let you know, I realized what was fast on my laptop. It wasn't a faulty memory but AVG Antivurus! Well. Furthermore, I believe that the host process errors are caused by my sound card, who chooses to work in his own time.

  Get a Thinkpad sure taught me a lot! I must say after 4/5 weeks I love him to bits.

  Kind regards

• Feet for the T42?

  A friend gave my boyfriend a L42, and until now it works very well. One problem, however, is that we have not been able to locate the 'feet' on the bottom through which you can lift the rear part of the laptop. I read the references to the "leveling legs", but we cannot find them. Someone at - it advice?

  Thank you!

  Welcome to the forum!

  The rubber feet on the T4x series are fixed and cannot be raised/lowered.

  I hope this helps.

  Yes, we can get you the manual and plastic case parts are available but rooms not only "detach". Either someone secretly takes a screwdriver for her while not looking or there is a failure somewhare in the hinge system that can run loose screws. Can we have a little more description or maybe a photo?

• 1.5 GB of RAM in a T42?

  Is it acceptable to run different capacities of the sticks of RAM in both locations for a T42 to reach a total of 1.5 GB of RAM?

  Machine has 2 x 512 sticks currently installed, but would benefit from a little more punch. It shot up to 1.5 would be more than enough, she would have to buy a single stick and would avoid the need to Tinker to remove, and then reinstall the keyboard. What adds to what, at first glance, the sensible solution. However, I have always learned in the past, during the consideration of upgrading the RAM in older machines I had, that the two memory sticks must be "balanced" i.e. be of equal capacity. This advice still applies for a somewhat newer machine like the T42? Was it ever legitimate advice in any case for this issue, or just a ruse the part of vendors to sell more RAM?

  Thank you.

  T42 use dual channel memory as T43 machines later, so 1.5 GB is perfectly fine and will improve overall performance. Of course, maxing out at 2 GB would be even better...

  I hope this helps.

• T42 wifi with linux...

  Hello

  am installing debian linux 5.0 on t42s.  usually I get them on ebay with the cards already installed wifi and it is no harm at all to lift the machine with debian. However I got recently a t42 without wifi card so I got a (by intel) from ebay and installed myself. I'm sure that it is physically installed OK because when I start to professional xp splash screen the little wifi icon lights. I didn't by installing xp well. that the wifi icon does not light before putting the new wifi adapter.

  I'm trying to set up this machine as an xp dual boot and debian. I usually install debian via net install. with my other t42s this process via the wifi was nice and it worked just to the right.

  However, when I try to do an installation of debian using the adapter wifi on this computer, the installer says that it cannot configure the dhcp using wifi (but it can if I plug it into the cable net ether).

  is there something else I should do to logicaly install wifi for the debian installer can recognise him? as the access ibm button for example use?

  or is there simply no linux for this wifi card driver intel? I think that there is a linux driver for any product to intel but I could be wrong. WFI with linux it's a little tricky.

  Maybe if I use ether net for installation I get the wifi linux driver later.

  If not, what is the oem for the t42 wireless adapter?

  Please notify.

  I have three total t42 units. two with model number 23734TU and the other (the troubled unit) with model number 2373-4TU. the difference is the dash between the numbers 3 and 4.

  Based on the information you provided I agree that the 2100 b card should work with the 4TU-2373.

  the only way I know how to test for sure everything flows through the configuration script in windows xp. I wanted to avoid this but I don't see any easy choice.

  I guess that if the wifi under the display icon lights up then the card is functional. Turns on the xp splash screen.

  otherwise I could download the latest debian installer and see if it gets the card to operate under a facility. net a debian-installer an integrety check maybe I'll try that.

  My big concern is that the card should work when operating by linux.

  I remember well the card could only be installed one way. Perhaps one of the two antenna broke while I was reassembling. I don't think, but I could open it and check. but I wanted to avoid this.

  SOLUTION! the solution is to use the map of cisco wireless.

• Please help t42 display size!

  I took the hard drive to a t42 with a 14 inch screen and put it in a t42 with a 15 "screen.  Now I have a dektop 14 inches on my 15 inch display!  lol how I resize the desktop to actually fit my 15 inch display?  I can't find a way to do it.  If it was a separate monitor it would be easy, but since it is a laptop, it is not quite as simple.  Thanks for any help you can provide!

  Hi and welcome to the forum!

  I think that you need to install the correct video driver for your T42 15 ". Also, try to change the resolution:- http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/setup/personalize/resolution.mspx

  Let us know 7 nature of the two systems product numbers, it looks like 2668-KHU and can be found on the back label.

• Tungsten e2 does not illuminate

  My PDA grand worked until this morning.  Now it will not turn on.  Will not be hard or soft reset. If someone could help.  PLEASE

  Thanks for the information.  I removed the back, with the help of a screwdriver for glasses and disconnected the battery.  Plug in the power sector, the splashscreen BAM shone bright.  I had to do this twice, for some reason, but once I plugged the battery in the circuit board, everything was fine.  Thanks again for the information.

• MBP 2009 HD dead-ish - what to do next?

  So, apparently, the hard drive in my MacBook Pro mid-2009 is close to death.

  I had trouble with him the other night and after reboot, I got a kernel panic, basically "cannot find driver for ACPI platform." You can see the full screen tohttp://i.imgur.com/DHFg9PUh.jpg

  I tried to go in recovery mode and using the disc to check/repair utility to see what would happen. I forget exactly what happened when I ran first, but now I got a message that it is not repairable. Screen example here:http://i.imgur.com/O57e6NBh.jpg

  At one point when I booted into single user mode (or was it the verbose mode?) I got ' WARNING SATA: enable auto service has failed. Generally run fsck didn't have good results. This is the screen the last time I did it in single user mode: http://i.imgur.com/C6S2gCph.jpg

  When I try to start it in safe mode finally gets about 1/5 of the way through the progress bar and then stops.

  This disc is about 6 years old and has been widely used (and doesn't have a lot of space on this issue rest, I know..) so I'm not surprised, he's in trouble.

  I'm confused but I have my next steps should be.

  -Something like Disk Warrior conceivable would be able to repair any corruption or other issues?

  -I am able to use the feature to reinstall OS X utility recovery section to install a new copy of the Mavericks? Which would be just a waste of time even if I can do it?

  -I don't have access to other Mac and don't have the original 10.6 install DVD. I have to install 10.6, 10.6.8 and then re - update download Mavericks (or more)?

  -I realize that the current content on the disc may be roasted. I have a time machine backup of a few months ago.

  -I currently have no bootable external drive/device.

  -J' was going to ask if there are files that I can change so that I get an error in single user mode that can help, but when I try to mount the drive:http://i.imgur.com/U2QIhPul.jpg

  -Ideally, I'll replace this dead-ish with a ssd drive, even if I even rolled my head around exactly what kind I need. (i.e. do most ship with the spacer? How I format once installed and put on the operating system as I think I can't use internet recovery? Would be something like the MX200 crucial work of 500GB 2.5 ssd "in this machine? "I have the screwdriver for the rear screws and also a T6 for the reader).

  More precisely, it is a MBP 13.3 "2.53 Ghz, 8 GB of ram, 250 GB HD - MB991LL/A

  Thank you. sad face.

  Install a new drive.  The Crucial SSD will be compatible.

  You will need to install the original OSX and then switch to Snow Leopard (10.6.8).  Will then allow you to install a more recent OSX.

  Ciao.

  Hello

  Here's the original specifications. your T40 left the factory with:

  ThinkPad T40 (2374-BG9)

  Based on 2374-8CU: P M 1.5 GHz, 512 MB RAM, 40 GB 5400 RPM HARD drive, XGA(1024x768) 14.1 TFT LCD, 32 MB ATI Radeon 7500, x - 8 24 x DVD (slim), Modem (CDC), Ethernet (LOM), upgradeable Wireless, Secure Chip (TCPA), UltraNav, battery 6 cells, WinXP Pro

  "Scalable wireless" means that your T40 has not left the factory with a wireless card installed. However, IBM used this marketing term to indicate that the model has antennas wireless installed in the cover of the LCD Assembly and can easily get a mini-PCI Wireless card added. I opened dozens of T40 (including, I believe, some listed as 'wireless extensible') and I've never found one that doesn't have an internal wireless card installed. It seems most of these units have been upgraded with a card wireless at some point in their history. I also have a theory that many of these units 'scalable wireless' were purchased in bulk and had massive facilities by a secondary party wireless cards / technicians before being sold to the final retail market. It's just a theory of mine.

  The T40 to East came with the three following of 'B' wireless cards:

  WiFi wireless dual band ThinkPad 11 a/b PCI card adapter

  Cisco Aironet Wireless 802. 11 b

  Intel PRO/Wireless LAN 2100 3B Mini PCI adapt

  These are the official names designated in service parts system - ThinkPad T40, T40p, T41, T41p, T42, T42p. It was all 'B' wireless adapters, but T40 can easily be upgraded to some of the 'G' wireless cards you see listed for the T42.

  There is only one way to know for sure which (if any) wireless card your T40 has. You will need to remove the keyboard and take a look under the hood. Follow the steps described in the Manual of Maintenance of equipment - ThinkPad T40, T40p, T41, T41p, T42, T42p. Then we can help you locate the appropriate drivers.

  Here are a few movies with step by step instructions that can help you and others who can be read:

• T61 LCD issue

  
  

  I suggest you download the HMM (the hardware maintenance manual) for your laptop. Not sure about your T61, I know that the T530 has a separate cable. I had a failure in a similar way as the description of your problem on my mother in law T530. I bought Qty 4 T530 of last year and was the only one to fail during the warranty. Lenovo has replaced the LCD and card system twice under warranty and that did not fix the problem. It was the cable. I usually buy used and tested good parts from sources other than Lenovo. More recently, I bought a DVD player for a T42 for $7.99 free shipping off eBay.

• What type of screwdriver do need me for a MacBook Air (11 inch, late 2010)

  I want to upgrade the memory of my macbook Air (which currently has 2 GB) 4 GB and I need the right screwdriver. I'll use a single 4GB DD3 1066 MHz memory.  Is this right?

  Thanks for the tips.

  The memory in this model cannot be updated according to my information. This is why there is not user accessible memory slots. Open the computer won't change.

• T42 silver for screen cracked and separated the left side support post

  Hello team support Lenovo Forum!

  The post of support money left on my T42 display screen is cracked and separated at the base where it connects to the computer.  Can I replace this part?  I looked in the user guide, replaceable units, but did not find anything.  Would appreciate any help.  This laptop is old, but I still like to use it.

  Thank you!

  Jim

  Delete:

  battery, hard drive, Media Player.

  keyboard and palmrest, bezel keyboaard.

  Get the wireless card.

  Unscrew the cover.

  Remove the bezel of the LCD screen.

  Swap the hinge.

  Reverse.

  And Yes, the same goes for the T60 as it would be to T42.

  Good luck.
