Question of T61p

Similar Questions

• VGA/DVI

  Hi guys,.

  I have a winxp running T61p.

  I want to connect my laptop (undocked) to an LCD monitor. Since I want to see more bright colors, that I would use option dvi monitor that I bought.

  Here's my question:

  T61p isn't a dvi each output. Yet, I know we can change some settings in the bios to support dvi - d.

  (1) dvi only works when the laptop is connected? I ask this because only the docking station output a dvi.

  (2) if the answer to the first question is "no, you can always use DVI even if your laptop is in stand-alone mode.

  How?

  Can I get a digital signal from my laptop vga port? Can I make a connection between the port vga (portable) and dvi (from monitor) port? Can I get a digital output even if I do a link between the vga (mobile) and (from monitor) vga port?

  Thanks for any help...

  DVI works only when it is docked, your VGA output is only the analog signal.

• HELP the T61p Swap hard drive Question - URGENT

  My T61p 6459-CTO went black screen. 1 long beep - 2 short beeps, I guess that the MOBO issue problems with Nvidia Chipset on that I read.

  So I wonder if I just take my hard drive out and put in it an operable T61p to close specifications would be that boot up and work like my old machine? Or I am a joke?

  How close the specs should be? Questions you plan?
  I need to get as forward as soon as possible.

  Any help is appreciated.

  Thank you

  Welcome to the forum!

  You may need to day of a couple of drivers, but any T61/p or R61 will work fine as the drive.

  Good luck.

• T61p: Question of another DVI output

  Hi all

  Recently my T61P and docking station advanced stopped DVI output. It seems to pass in and out at random: it will work for an hour and then the monitor will lose the signal for another hour.

  Restart does not help.

  Upgrading the BIOS did not help.

  Play with all the settings of the monitor to boot in the BIOS, as well as the reset to default values has not helped.

  There is no software change that precipitated it.

  The operating system detects an external monitor and can read its EDID information and extend the desktop to this monitor, but the screen does not receive a signal.

  I tried cleaning all the contacts of docking with a soft brush.

  Every now and again signal will come back and then later disappears shortly thereafter.

  PC Doctor detects any problems in his essays.

  I tried with the other monitor, different, new docking cable DVI, but it is reproducible with all these changes.

  My guess is that the ThinkPad should go to a service center, but so I hope someone will have an idea of what else I could try that might help.

  Thanks in advance,

  Luke.

• T61p - questions card 4965AGN

  Greetings;

  I was wondering if it is possible to activate the function of "N" of the card. I'm under the it on a 5KU 6458. The installation program is on a new wireless router WD750N with Verizon published Westell modem. The router has the capacity of 2.4 & 5.0 gHz. I have the driver Lenovo as the last 14.xxx version. installed. Are there only 2 wires to the card inside the unit with the 3rd not used? Can you improve the system of the FRU 42T 0865 to activate features "N"? No knowledge have greatly appreciated.

  Thank you

  Donald

  If your current card is 4965 AG, there is no way to allow the spectre of "N", just to replace the card.

  Yes, you can upgrade to 4965AGN card, just leave the connector in an open environment.

  He will do very well on a router dual-band 300mbps.

• T61p: Enough memory Ram and good?

  Equals any brand? I bought 2 GB of ram for my t61p 6460-D8G and score windows experience base doesn't change almost...

  How will I know if I get a good RAM? Is there a difference between them? Just, I went into a store and get, without any question.

  Moderator Note: Type added to the line object for clarity.

  Not sure I can answer all your questions. As for software for Vista 64 bit, it depends on what app, you need for your work. As far as my experience goes I have not experienced problems with compatibility. Especially all 32-bit applications running under Vista 64-bit. Exception is really legacy software that use the 16-bit code. It there was only one such application in my case, but I soon saw an app to substitute for it. Regarding the benefits, I can't say that I have no way of how to compare. One thing is certain - there is nothing of spectaculary diferent performace wise. Vista 64 bit runs qute sumilar to 32-bit. It can happen that it makes things faster (for example to copy large files), but I'm not sure. Of course, the good point is that you can use more than 3 GB of RAM on your machine with Vista 64 bit. That's the good thing, but even once, don't expect miracles after being able to use 1 GB RAM more. The improvement will be slight. Is it reasonable to upgrade your Vista 32 bit to 64 bit? Its all about you. It can happen that it is not this great whirlpool that you can try to contact Lenovo and ask them for the 64-bit support (I saw some people in this forum by saying that it worked for them). If this does not work, then you try to find something useful for you here

  http://Forum.NotebookReview.com/showthread.php?t=144783

  In any case, I can say that nothing is worng with your RAM. The score seems completely OK. My system has 4 GB of RAM, and as I said the ir score 5. So, no reson to worry about you.

  Best wishes...

• T61p - new HDD - size?

  I think that the plant only 160 GB HDD out crapped on me. If I can get it back or not, I ran out of space and want to upgrade.

  I bought a SATA 320 GB Seagate hard drive. Before I opened the package, I want to assure you that this size hard disk is compatible with my T61p.

  During the construction of my laptop, I remember there are several options for the size of the HD and I chose the 160 GB, but knowing the largest was available.

  Thus, the 320 will work with my T61p? Or I have to step down for a 250 GB?

  Thank you.

  Information on the IBM Web site are severely outdated, as usual.

  You can throw in 500GB in a T61/p and he will love it, no questions asked.

  My last T61p came with a 200 GB / 7200 RPM of Lenovo's...

  I hope this helps.

• How to install WD Scorpio on T61p HDD SATA2?

  I got a new WD blue 500 GB HDD (SATAII) scorpiio.

  Does anyone know how he installed on T61p?

  I've mirrored all with Acronis and but the computer does not start from him, when the old disk is replaced.

  Is it a question of SATA1/SATA2? How can I change the HDD to SATA1? There seems not to be a rider switch (as in some Seagate disks). Is tehre otherwise?

  Any help will be appreciated

  Hi aabbar123,

  I don't think it's a matter of SATA1/2. More likely, it's a problem of cloning. When cloning your old hard drive to new, install a new one in your ThinkPad and put the old man on the SATA-> USB adapter (or whatever it is you use to connect). Make sure to tell True Image to include the MBR/track 0 and install on a primary partition, active on your new drive.

  What version of True Image do you use?

• T61p display does not

  Hi all

  My wifes laptop, Lenovo T61P when open/turned on this morning sees nothing on the screen. The laptop turns on, you can see the screen turns on, however you may not see anything from the bios to connect the screen... no cursor, or whatever it is never displayed! However, you can see that the lighting of the screen lights up when the laptop turns on. I tried to plug a monitor external, shown however still nothing, I didn't know if I need to see the screen to change the screens.

  Please note that although I don't see anything, I can connect to the machine. Once the computer is started, I can hit CTRL-alt-del and enter his password and then I see the hard drive works again. It seems that everything works except the screen. I tried to remove the battery, and now the power button for 30 seconds, which did not help either.

  Any help as to what can be the problem and how to solve?

  Thank you

• T61p: External speakers won't talk...

  I have a strong suspicion that this may well be a silly question but guess I have to swallow... I need help for my external speakers for laptop reactivation of Logitech V10.

  Let me give a bit of history:

  These speakers do not use a laptop computer's audio output jack. Just, they attach to a USB port, which also powers up. I just plugged the material and they began working immediately, but I was not satisfied by the fact that the volume on the laptop controls this is locked.

  I wanted to can sometimes simply unplug the external speakers and leave just the internal speakers of the laptop. However, the volume can ONLY be controlled with the volume of the speaker buttons, and when I unplugged the through the USB port, I couldn't have the internal speakers of the Thinkpad to get back to work.

  I googled around and tried to follow some leads, but everything I realized who was now, I have the opposite situation: the internal speakers work, even if the volume seems to be stuck at level 22, which is a little less to halfway across, and nothing seems to move up or down. In the meantime, the Logitech speakers are on, but refuse to produce any sound whatsoever.

  What can I do to have the option of switching, somehow or another, between the outside and the internal speakers? The instructions of the speaker are silent on this issue...

  Thanks in advance for any help.

  Edited to add: I have Windows Vista Home Premium running on a T61p.

  Moderator Note: T61p added to the title.

  have you installed the driver for the external speakers?

• T61p how can I back up my hard drive

  <->Hello

  My laptop out of no where would not turn on and exposes the 1 long beep and 2 short beeps with a white screen. He is 5 years old and started to act a little, so I had to replace anyway, but my question is how can I save my drive hard if I can't turn on your computer?

  I read somewhere there is some type of adapter under $ 10 that plugs directly into the hard drive and then I can plug in my desktop computer... anyone know if this is true and this which is called the cord I need? Or how I could do to get my files on my hard drive?

  Thank you.

  Note of the moderator; subject published

  Will need you a 2.5 "USB to SATA external enclosure. You can buy some fees at most computer stores, for example the selection to computers Canada. 2 USB works perfectly although you can spend a little more for the newer and more fast USB 3 which will be on your new computer.

  Once you have moved the disc again case simply plug into a USB port as if it were a USB flash drive. The operating system will recognize it, install the necessary drivers and allow you to access the help of Windows Explorer or similar.

  (Note that this assumes that you does not have a hard drive on the old disk T61p password.)

• T61p Insta-Shutdown! :(

  Hi all

  QuickSpecs:
  I have a Lenovo T61p here type 6457.
  It is the one with the Quadro FX 570 M videocard.
  I installed it with Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit and Windows XP Pro SP3 32 Bit

  All latest drivers have been completely installed, DirectX 9 June .0c and the latest graphics drivers from Nvidia.

  Problem:
  He sometimes everything stops without warning, just 'off' without any form of warning or sound.
  I do not turn it off 'click' from the hard drive but it does whenever you turn it off normally too.
  Then when I turn it on again it usually starts to windows and I can do just about everything.
  Go on the internet, go through my music, using office and other... No problem at all!

  When it happens:
  There are times during the boot that puts the laptop in a loop, but it ALWAYS happens when I try something that takes into account the video card.

  When I run 3Dmark 06 ' it stops immediately as soon the test begins.
  Also, when I try to play a DVD movie it crashes every time that the movie starts.

  This looks like a videocard related question for me.

  What I tried:
  All latest drivers have been installed as indicated above.
  The problem that happens under XP and 7 so I'm clear enough, this is a unwanted material.
  I swapped batteries and adapter, tried another (R60) disk hard 80 GB.
  To make sure that is not a related problem of heat I cleaned the fan under the keyboard that has been completely cleaned and shows no sign of too hot gettings.
  Tried to update to the latest version of the bios too, factory missed the bios of course.

  Publishes:
  1. tried another memory, also does not resolve this although it crashed just 30 seconds later instead of instantly.
  2 TPfancontrol said less than 50 degrees Celsius for the CPU and the GPU.

  So, what can I do?
  I don't have the money to get it fixed now.
  Help, please!

• Helps to identify the port on a T61p

  Hello

  I know this is going to be a really noob question, but I'm a little confused here.

  I had a USB3 card Express (this one) for my T61P to add some more USB ports but I don't think it is the right card.

  The map is loose in the slot and the Thinkpad does not even recognize.

  I can confirm the kind of housing that it is? I took a picture of him at least help identify it.

  I always thought it would be an Express 54 card.

  

  There are no screws, and confusing. T61 models have been made with a choice of 2 different sets. Support a smart card and a PC card, while the other supported a PC card and Express card. The part you are looking for is 42 X 3827, but it by exchanging requires a complete teardown. It plugs into the motherboard, which needs to be removed from the base and the setting of magnesium must be removed.

• T61p + Windows 7 64 bits + Intel AMT/drivers.

  Hi all

  I recently installed Windows 7 x 64 on my T61p (6459-CTO). I installed the drivers and all devices and market very well except two:

  1. PCI serial port
  2. PCI Simple Communications controller

  After a failure to find drivers for these, I googled the question and found that it is most likely associated with Intel AMT. So I tried Windows 7 for Intel AMT drivers for my laptop but I do not see everything.

  I have installed and run Lenovo System Update v4 and it doesn't have picked it up while the Lenovo ThinkVantage Toolbox Diagnotics warn that the drivers are missing for 2 devices. However, it is not too show where to find.

  There seems to be a lot of posts for the same problem for the models T400/T500 but nothing for the T61p.

  Any help would be appreciated!

  I have experienced the same problem and here is my resolution for my t61p running windows 7 x 64:

  Download the 2 AMT/drivers on driver lenovo site:

  Local administration service and Serial Over LAN (Intel AMT 2.6)
  Windows Vista, XP

  http://www-307.IBM.com/PC/support/site.WSS/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-67881

  Management engine interface (Intel AMT 2.6)
  Windows Vista, XP

  http://www-307.IBM.com/PC/support/site.WSS/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-67880

  Let the files extract to their files (using the downloaded exe files) (C:\drivers\win\amt and \amtsol)

  for the PCI Serial Port, indicate the Assistant to update driver to watch in c:\drivers\win\amtsol

  for the controller PCI of communication Simple say that it resembles the c:\drivers\win\amt

  He must find the missing drivers for you.
