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.

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.

  • Question about the Lenovo ThinkPad Tablet 2

    Hello!

    I am interested in the Lenovo ThinkPad Tablet 2. I'll order one with all the extras when it is available. I hope at the end of the year it will be able to order this nice tablet.

    My question is about the PowerVR SGX545 Intel Atom COS graph: is - this device capable to manage my Dell U3011 with native resolution of 2560x1600px mini-HDMI or via the Dock 2 Tablet ThinkPad (HDMI) connector?
    I did find this information anywhere on the sites, e. g. http://www.lenovo.com/psref/

    I intend to use the Tablet for my university studies, but I also want to work with her at home with my Dell U3011 connected as a second monitor.

    Thank you very much and best regards from the Germany!

    On the TPT2 HDMI port can handle that resolutions DVI single link. So he cannot manipulate the U3011 to its native resolution.

  • Problem with Windows Update after the new installation of Windows 7 Pro the Lenovo ThinkPad X 200

    I'm trying to do a fresh install of Windows 7 Pro on a Lenovo ThinkPad X 200. The product key is easy to find on the sticker of the ThinkPad. However, the version of Windows is hidden (for example, I can't check that my ThinkPad had originally installed Windows 7 Pro). I was able to install by using a Pro Win 7 SP1 CD ROM I bought for another installation. I used the ThinkPad I was trying to make the new facility on the product key. I was able to activate the Windows 7 Pro using the phone call and my cell phone. I checked the activation! However, I have problems with Windows update. The product key may be a different version of Windows 7. If so, why did it install and activate OK? Y at - it a fix for this problem or I have to buy a new version of Windows 7 Pro? Please note that I have not yet installed all drivers Lenovo ThinkPad as I can't seem to install correctly. Thank you!

    Since the issue is updated to Windows, it is not a product number key.

    You can reset the Windows Update components by running the Fixit on this page. But if there is malware present, she will continue to reset the connection to the update servers:

    How to reset the Windows Update components

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/971058

    Suggest you download and save the Fixit. Then configure the system before the clean boot by running:

    How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista/Windows 7

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

    Once the Fixit has been downloaded and the system is started in the pure State, check that the native Windows Firewall is now on if a 3rd party firewall has been used previously. Now run the Fixit and choose the default mode. Restart once it's done and see if the system can be connected to the update servers. If he can't, then rerun the Fixit and choose aggressive mode. Turn it back on when he finished the race and updates.

  • Blocking of the Lenovo Thinkpad T520 disc problem

    Hello friends of Lenovo!

    I've got ThinkPad T520 and I really like it, but there is no question that makes me worried about the security of the data. There is a moment when the hard drive becomes hang for about a minute. This is the rate, usually happens when you try to connect to Windows 7... interface is still active, but hand disk is hang (green led is always on), it seems that everything is blocked because of the disc, but looks like it's doing nothing during that time. There are also some rare cases, when happens when I do work on it.

    I don't know what the reason for this problem. I guess it could be either:

    (a) internal (maybe physical) defects in HDD OR

    (b) there are some services in Windows 7 that allows to hang so long (my Windows directory is about 17 GB! He was already fat after the installation, I'm the second user of this computer, I bought it a month ago, still 2 years of guarantee).

    The hard drive is C300-MTFDBAK128MAG (SSD). You have a similar experience with this computer / hard disk?

    I called support in Poland call center today and they suggested to:

    (1) execute and test Windows 7 mode 'diagnostic' (msconfig) OR

    (2) the hard drive firmware update OR

    (3) send the computer to service center

    Obviously I don't want to waste time, because I use this computer for work. Do you know what could be the problem and what to do better to fix?

    Thank you very much!

    It's weird... The C300 should yield much more information?

  • A white UI drip the battery on the Lenovo Thinkpad 10 (2nd generation)?

    Hi all

    I am a user interface designer is currently working on a project for a hybrid application to use only on the Thinkpad 10 (2nd generation). I myself remember how an amoled display would drain battery when rendering a light interface and I was wondering if the same applied to the screen used on the Thinkpad.

    Random question, I know

    Thanks in advance.

    Stu

    ThinkPad 10 has low resolution LCD display (no AM / OLED), so that the backlight is turned on all the time regardless of the composition of the photo.

    BTW, this is an interesting aspect of the OLED displays from the point of view developer application

  • Lenovo-ThinkPad-W541-20EFCTO1WW: is it possible to change/upgrade Quadro K2100M of GTX 980 M?

    is it possible to change/upgrade GPU - Quadro K2100M of GTX 980 M in ws laptop Lenovo "ThinkPad W541' (20EFCTO1WW)?

    I like the laptop, but the GPU portion is not for pc games, so iwould like to know weather is it physically possible to change this QuadroK2100M in the Lenovo ThinkPad W541 games GPU i.e. GTX 980 M?

    Thanks in advance!

    The GPU is soldered to the motherboard, so he can't be replaced.

    The K2100M should still work good for the games.

    The 980M is also a map of 100 watts, while the K2100M is a map of 55 watts. There is no way the W541 can handle it, even if you can replace the GPU.

  • 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.

  • My ThinkPad T61 VERY VERY VERY and I mean VERY slow at the start why?

    Hello

    I just bought ThinkPad T61 brand new, for $500

    Speed: 2.0

    Memory: 2048

    I mean this should be pretty quickly.

    in any case, it takes about 5 to 6 min just to start upward and its windows XP Server 2003 with Service Pack 3

    and I only have one installed program, its air and nothing else, the computer is still slow like that, even my 2 friends bought the same computer and as slow as mine, his

    and if you guys wonder why its cheap, because in my University they sell it at this price for everyone (even the poor guy) to buy a good laptop for a good price.

    So what do you of the problem, my friend told me that his perhaps because of windows server 2003 with SP3, but I do not know, and when my University gives me the laptop, they don't give you a CD format, so it's saying I can't get it back to the original Setup, but I think to buy a new CD the problem I can't find XP more, every store I see have Vista only.

    so do you think I'll buy Vista so I could have a fast computer instead of a SLWOOOO, and if I go to Vista, is touch pad, the track point and the finger print thing will continue to operate, (I want to say is a drivers for windows Vista)

    I know I write a lot, but please help me guys to get the best out of my computer.

    Thanks in advance

    Hello

    Congratulations on your new Thinkpad! And Yes, it will be fast enough.

    I would suggestt to uninstall Antivirus like Norton or to get an update for Norton 2009.

    AntiVir and AVG are doing a good job too. Uninstall firewall thirdparty, if it is installed.

    If you install Vista then, we will work all programs. Install Vista and download the program

    Homepage of Lenovo system update.

    It will install all the necessary drivers for you, even for XP, if basic a copy.

    For more information, read own Vista installation NB guide

    Or XP clean installation guide

  • How to check if the lid switch is broken on Lenovo Thinkpad X230i?

    I have problems with my new Lenovo Thinkpad X230i lid switch and I would ask you how to test if the lid switch is physically broken. Since I bought the laptop a few weeks ago the laptop suspended when I closed the laptop, but still I had to press gently with my finger on the lid so that the laptop has recognized that the cover is actually closed. Now, this trick no longer works.

    Now, I would like to find a way to better test if the lid switch is physically not works. I found this article in the forum: http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/X-Series-ThinkPad-Laptops/X220-does-not-detect-lid-open-close/td-p/49626... and I followed the steps. I entered the BIOS and closed the cover, but on my laptop, the screen goes out, even if the cover is completely closed and even after pressing gently with your finger.

    I cannot conclude now that the switch of cover material is actually broken and I need the service of Lenovo?

    switch cover on the X 220 and X 230 is triggered by a magnet. The laptop enter the BIOS menu, then use a magnet and see if that turns off the display. IF this is your lid switch is working properly and the problem you are experiencing is most likely software. If it isn't then it is broken, and you need to replace.
