boot thinkpad t61 without keyboard

I have the following problem with my Thinkpad T61.

Every few minutes the computer begins to behave as if you press a few keys on the keyboard. The keys are not physically stuck, the system behaves just as if they were. Sometimes happens for no apparent reason, but I can still get there by pressing any kye on the bottom right of the keyboard.

I concluded that the keyboard is faulty and ordered a new.

In the meantime, I am using my laptop with an external (USB) keyboard. This does not solve the problem completely, b/c the laptop still allows the internal key, so always it messes up too frequently. I tried to disable the keyboard, but does not have Device Manager to enable me to do. I thought to remove the keyboard, but then I don't have a power button!

Does anyone have an idea for me to know how to use my laptop until the replacement keyboard arrives?

Is it possible to start the computer without keyboard connected?

If you have the wake on lan feature enabled from the bios, then you may be able to get the machine so that it starts by sending a magic packet from another computer on the network.

Other than that you need a dock, which have an external switch.

  • ThinkPad T61 supervisor password

    Hello community,

    It's a ThinkPad T61 6457-BK3.

    I bought it a month ago and there is a supervisor password in the BIOS. I don't know the password and the company where I bought it from - does not know the password. How can I reset the password? I read many things in the internet about the opening of the motherboard, looking for a smart... and so on — but I don't want to lose the warranty. Is it possible to send it to Lenovo? And how it would be to reset the supervisor password?

    Thank you very much.

    Kind regards

    You can't reset the password without knowing the password first. Sorry we can't tell you the procedure even though we know it (which we don't have), as it is against the rule of the forum.

    If you want that Lenovo to reset the password, they just replace the motherboard, which will cost more than your laptop is useful.

  • Satellite L100 113 - BIOS without keyboard change

    My keyboard does not work. The easy answer for the moment would be to use a USB keyboard, except that the option is disabled in the BIOS.

    Is it possible to change or reset the BIOS without keyboard?

    Hello

    Try to start the Windows operating system and start assistance of Toshiba.
    You will find the HWSetup Toshiba. This tool contains options that could be changed in the BIOS also.

    So I think that there could be an option that allows the USB keyboard support.
    I think that this should be possible using the USB mouse.

  • Modernization of the Lenovo Thinkpad T61 i3 CPU.

    I have a Thinkpad T61 and I wonder what kind of processor i3 current is compatible with my laptop?

    I need a processor that can handle older games like Morrowind with ease, I currently have a pathetic Centrino processor.

    Goodegg says:
    I want a current i3.

    Well, it's just not going to happen.

    The fastest CPU, only one of these cards will have X 9000, which is a 2.8 GHz Core 2 Extreme. It is also $ 200-250 depending on his luck.

    If you need a current CPU, you will need to get a more recent/current machine.

  • ThinkPad t61 brightness resets

    I just bought a refurbished thinkpad t61 and he took advantage of that day. Only problem is every time I have the brightness, that it will always return to the definition above whenever it restarts. I tried adjusting brightness in the power plan settings and save but it will always return to the default each time I have to start again. Is anyway to fix this?

    Hey there pszet0,

    I found another thread with a question similar to yours. Its solution has been updated to four specific drivers, and the machine started to save the power plan settings. Here's a link to the page of the pilot and a list of driver does it reference. As always, make sure you back up before you start on this path. It can be the path that will lead you to find resolution.

    Start here because I think it will be more likely involved:

    Power management driver

    Your display driver there

    And then these:

  • ThinkPad T61 T61p radiator upgrade.

    Hello

    My Thinkpad gets uncomfortably hot in programs such as Photoshop, Dream Weaver and some games. Update the old heatsink to a T61p radiator would help to reduce the time. I clean the portable regularly (every 2 months or more) and run TPFanControl but he gets up to 80 c time.

    Data sheet: Core 2 duo T8300 2.4 Ghz / RAM 4Gbs and the legendary Nvidia nvs 140 m chip.

    Thank you.

  • Where can I buy a replacement of the Thinkpad T61 fan?

    Where can I buy a replacement of the Thinkpad T61 fan?  I looked everywhere in the Lenovo site, and I can only find the referenced part number, not a place to buy it.

    When I opened my Thinkpad, the fan, he said:

    Lenovo-P/N 42W2461

    FRU P/N 42W2460

    Everyone here has already tried other merchants successfully (eBay, etc.)?

    (I am out of warranty and the fan is noisy when it is hot, unlike when it was new, and I sometimes "Fan Error" at startup in the BIOS).

    Parts of IBM in the United States sells these fan parts, many fans on ebay are refurbished or from broken machinery (the fan should work fine).

    I think that IBM sells the fan for about 50 to 80 USD, including delivery by mail.

  • No Protection Active Windows 7 x 86 or Vista x 86 Thinkpad T61 model 8897-02U software?

    There is no software Protection active for Vista/Windows7 on the Thinkpad T61 model 8897-02U on the support Web site?  Not support Active Protection?

    The version of the APS for T61 is the same as X 250, T450, etc..  I don't know why APS is not marked as a model of support for T61.; We will check into it.  For now you can get APS from the driver download page for 250 X or another model.

    What is Jerrycq said in another thread that APS has been removed from the system update for Win8/Win8.1.  It is a completely different matter, having to do with system update internal and not APS.

    Can someone confirm if these would work? Issue in this page , I found the following information:

    Looking at the specs you should be good to go, but have not personally tested, I can't be 100% sure.
