  IBM Thinkpad T30

  Type: 2366

  Manufactor Date: July 2003

  OS: Windows XP Pro SP3

  Processor: Intel Pentium 4 1.9 Ghz

  RAM: 512 MB

  HARD drive: Hitachi DK23FA-60

  Graphics card: ATi Mobility 7500 w/16 MB RAM Radeom

  I realize it's a very old laptop but it still works to this day and I use it every day.

  I've been a bit online and I found that there is a design with the motherboard fault. More precisely the location of the hard drive and RAM above the other causes a lot of heat build-up to this place. IBM (now Lenovo) offered a repair or replacement of the laptop for a few years I know. My question is Lenovo continues to do this or not? I got this laptop a month ago and a half, so I have not long. Unfortunately I have no money to even pay for the repair and even less to ship for repair. Is there something I can look at?

  Welcome to the forum!

  It's been years since the replacement program of the Board of Directors on T30 units had ended.

  Your best bet is to install a single 1 GB DIMM in the 'healthy' location and use the machine like this if one of the RAM slots failed.

  Good luck.

• ThinkPad T30 - t - it work wit 2 GB of RAM?

  Hi people,

  I'm Garfield - living in Belgium and I am the owner of an 'old' T30

  The laptop is great and up to now it does everything what to do + is very very robust imho: we can dance on it and it will not give a kick.

  But now I would like to install DRAGON (speech recognition) on this subject - I tested it on a laptop 1 GB and 3 GB desktop computer.

  Well, more RAM, faster recognition of the speecg.

  Now my T30 has two RAM slots - 1 512 MG and the other is empty.

  My OS is Windows XP SP2

  According to IBM, the mouth is 1 GB, but here they 2 GB say... would it be true?

  It would be great!

  Here is a picture of my RAM slot

  Can someone give me a link to a decent online (preferably in Europe), or who knows - a store in Belgium (Forcom, tones, Compu Square) where I can find the corresponding modules.

  I'm not a computer expert, so please give me the direct link to the modules.

  I see on my module "PC2100', 'superior' would also work? (3200, 5400)

  And does change 'something' in Windows or the BIOS, or would be automatically recognized RAM?

  Many, many, many thanks to the help of model...

  Thank you!!! solution to 100%!

  BTW - is it still so hot across the world?

  BTW2 - Google seems to be hacked?

• Failure to upgrade the hard drive T30 - blinking cursor - will not progress

  I have trouble to upgrade the hard drive on my Thinkpad T30.

  I'm trying to upgrade a 40 GB hard drive to a hard drive of 250 GB.  (New drive is the EVE of Western Digital WD Scorpio 2500 b)

  I used the Western Digital Lifeguard Tools to clone the drive.  Unfortunately, when I insert the new drive in the computer, booting stops and is at the level of the blinking cursor.

  I used the tools of Lenovo's PC to test everything.

  I have used Western Digital Lifeguard Tools to check the hard drive.

  I've updated my Bios and embedded controller program.

  When I start the computer and press F1 to access the Bios, the sign more shows next to the hard drive.  I understand that this means that the Bios recognizes the hard drive.

  I went into Setup to choose the hard drive as the boot device, but the computer still hangs at the level of the blinking cursor.

  When the new hard drive is connected to the computer by usb in an external case, it shows that the contents of the old drive is copied to the new drive.

  What should I do now to solve this problem and get the computer to boot from the new drive?

  A program, often recommended by the ortegeluis is Easeaus Disk Copy freeware that can help you.

• T30 power supply problem!

  Hello

  My thinkpad T30 has the following problem:

  Turn - indicator and white lcd

  no thing happen just indicator on!

  I removed the battery for 1 min then try again so it works correctly, the problem me wit get more than 10 times

  over the last year.

  and now does not work in all cases

  What should I do?

  Here's a question for you? Your problem of power comes from the battery itself or the motherboard?

  This is what you can try to do it.

  (1) remove the battery and power cord

  2) press the power button on 10 times

  (3) press and hold the button for 30 seconds

  (4) connect the power cord only

  (5) try to turn on the unit.

  Your device should still be able to turn on with just the AC power. If you see only the 2 LED (the one with the circle and the 'Z' patter, which is the power on status, the other is one that looks like the plug of power supply) and your unit is still not lit, then you need to replace your motherboard...

  If you can power your device successfully, try plug the battery later and see if it will charge at maximum capacity. So go ahead and remove the power cord. If your unit loses power immediately at the time you remove the power cord, then Yes, you have a bad battery and must be replaced.

  Let me know if that helps you at all. Care.

  See you soon,.

• When am I use my W520?

  I look forward to rant, but I need to get out some of my chest...

  I ordered my w520 July 30... It is now September 3... I'm still not able to use my w520...

  I'll put aside delivery period, delay of UPS and double clearance...

  I'll put aside my camera comes without charger... and shipped to me without it too (received August 16, notice of loader missing was sent the same day)

  I'll put that the magazine that is sent to me is 65 watt... (received on 26 August and reported in wrong party same day)

  But I'm not putting aside, is that my W520 is defective. I report all the questions the day I got it... So far, I'm not have issued a replacement. Also, up until now I have not use except on battery because until now I have not received my 170 Watt power adapter.

  The seller told me that a refund of $50 is to be made to my CC as a compensation for the shippment missing charger, although it never happened - a minor detail, but since I'm ventilation why not to mention.

  If lenovo when I'm supposed to work with this W520? This isn't my first thinkpad - T30, T43, T61 and T410 and enjoyed your products very much... but this really pique.

  Ah... Now I can hold my breath for a little longer...

  Thank you.

  -incase you want to know what faults my unit,: the white of the screen are reddish little matter what I do to the hue/saturation, my palmrest has a hole for sensor/standard color that does not order, webcame disconnects every time the lid is affected because I try to tilt the screen and cpu is stuck at 800 mhz - read the forum messages and applies all changes I have same firmware 1.30 , but nothing don't change this behavior - try to scroll on a page like techcrunch site and see how agitated it will.

  
  

• The "Wireless networks" tab is missing

  I'm trying to troublshoot a wireless connection:

  Windows Wireless Auto Configuration is enabled and running, but the "Wireless networks" tab is missing from the wireless network connection properties window.

  Any ideas on how to restore this tab?

  The radio works and shows a TX/RX connection but the router will not assign an IP address.

  Windows XP SP3 laptop ThinkPad T30.

  I had the same problem - reinstalled windows, updated with service pack 3 and wireless tab was not visible. I couldn't view wireless networks. WZC has been launched and running. I tried several suggestions on different threads, but none seemed to help.

  Finally, this helped:

  Click on "View available networks" and then 'change advanced settings '.

  Under "Wireless network connection properties", click the "Advanced" tab

  At the bottom of the Advanced window, I had a link to the installation network connections (I am not able to find it now - so don't know the exact name) and click on it. He took me through a series of steps where I clicked next/ok. Finally, after finishing, the wireless networks tab is appeared! I don't know why!

• Wireless 'g' for a T30?

  Recently, I replaced the router in my system to get an upgrade security from WEP to WPA. My question is there a functional nic 802.11 g to replace a 'b' in a T30?

  I tried to use different cards and cannot get past the bios in a startup sequence, as the message tells me this invalid device and remove it. I took out my card Wireless 'g' of my T43p (FRU 27K 9933) installed in the T30 and got the same message.

  The unit that I work with is a T30 2367 AU5 with a motherboard 91 p 7689. The T30 was originally a 81U 2366, with an unknown Mo because he had a 2.0 gig. Processor. Map of cassis 'b' wireless is a FRU Cisco 26 8522.

  Anyone have any ideas?

• Cannot move the Favicons in toolbar - it just won't let me, even if it works on my identical thinkpad. On this laptop, it turns into a new tab.

  Although it works on my other thinkpad (which is identical to this one), yet when I try to drag website Favicons to the General on this thinkpad toolbar to use as a shortcut, a circle with a diagonal line displays, and when I try to drop the toolbar, a new tab opens to the top, instead of display the mozilla.org Favicon.

  So why it works on my other identical thinkpad, but not on this one? I bought two of them used. Obviously, certain factors on this thinkpad is not allowing it. Note that this laptop has AVG like antivirus, instead of MSE and perhaps also other differences of software.

  I think that it only works if you drop the site in the bookmarks toolbar. Despite its name, the bookmarks toolbar can be on its own line or can drag them to another bar. Maybe it's that it has been customized differently on the two installations of Firefox.

• My Lenovo ThinkPad(red scroll) scroll function does not work in the new Firefox 4. It worked very well at point 3.6. Can you please fix this because it is a very important feature.

  (Middle button) scroll feature does not work on the new firefox 4. For this reason, so I need to move the scroll bar to move the page. It's very irritating problem, if you are a guy who uses the middle button to scroll. Can you if you please fix this...

  Thank you!!!

  I've updated to Firefox 4.01 today and the Center knob on my Lenovo T400 does more. I downloaded the updated Ultranav utility and the Ultranav driver for my T400 by http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/MIGR-72858.html , then uninstalled the 'Thinkpad Ultranav Driver' to add/remove programs, rebooted and then installed the update utility and driver (another reboot) and now it works perfectly.

  So happy to get it working again.

• ThinkPad Tablet 10 1nd Pen Pro

  Hello

  can I use the Thinkpad Pen Pro with a Gen Thinkpad Tablet 10 1nd?

  Thank you

  No, sorry, you can't. The Pro of the pen of Lenovo is an active pen (it has an AAAA battery inside) and uses the AES of Wacom technology.

  ThinkPad 10 uses technology of Wacom EMR and the pen of Lenovo (part No. 00HW280) is a passive EMR pen. Pens of third parties who use Wacom EMR technology should also work.
