Hello everyone, I am new on this site. The reason why I joined is to find some information on the IBM Thinkpad T43. I have a chance to purchase an and I have a question to which I'm not sure. The person who sells the phone tells me that the BIOS is locked. I've never heard talk about this can someone help me because I don't want to buy a laptop which will be of no use to me and the money. Help, please!   Thank you TDBNAZ

Welcome to the forum!

Do not buy a machine with BIOS locked, since you will have to exchange the motherboard in order to to use correctly.

Good luck.

  • IBM ThinkPad T43: Rescue and Recovery question

    Hello

    I have an IBM ThinkPad T43. The Rescue and Recovery program opens whenever I turn on my laptop after a failed attempt to restore my laptop to factory settings. I cannot even connect on Windows, because the Rescue and Recovery program opens upwards immediately after I turned on the power. I tried to restore my system to factory settings using the program and the product recovery disc I bought at Lenovo, in the hope of resolving the issue, but every time I'm prompt "IBM could not restore your system.

    How can I stop Rescue and Recovery of the opening and resume with normal startup in Windows? What should I do so that I am able to restore my laptop to factory settings?

    Please help if you have any suggestions. I appreciate it greatly! Thank you!

  • ThinkPad T60 Bios problem

    At startup, my Thinkpad T60 shows fan failure message, but the fan seems to work very well.  Before replacing any hardware, I thought it might be useful to update the bios to see if that solves the problem.  Unfortunately, I'm unable to access the bios.  When I press the F1 key, the computer beeps constantly and I cannot get into the BIOS configuration utility.  When I stop to hit F1, fan failure message once again appears on the screen and the computer fails to boot the operating system.  Any suggestions to fix this are greatly appreciated.   Thank you very much!

    Thanks for the information. I have some Arctic Silver thermal paste #5 flying over the replacement of a heatsink / fan for a friend. Of course happy that I kept it!

  • ThinkPad SL500 - BIOS lost password

    Hello

    I have laptop think Pad SL500 and I lost the admin for the bios password.

    Do you have someone know how to reset?

    It is very important, I can't use it without password.

    Thank you. Petr

    Good day and welcome to the community.

    Sorry, you have problems.

    Information about passwords at the level of the system, who is authorized in the community, can be found on pages 34 to 36 of the hardware manual: https://download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/mobiles_pdf/43y6762_03.pdf

    The key is that there is no work around for a forgotten password or unknown supervisor. This situation requires a replacement of the system board.

    Kind regards.

  • ThinkPad T43 lcd brightness

    Hello to all members of the community,

    This is my first post on this forum...

    I have the T43 for a long time (> 10years) without major problems running and it's a big assess

    the T series!

    Yet the LCD screen is not as BRIGHT as other portable modern... So I'm wondering if it's time to replace the lamp LCD or LCD inverter card or whatever something to make it BRIGHTER...

    Thank you

    Keep alive!

    Thank you...

    I won't replace it the LCD still... not urgent at the moment...

    Also keep in mind that the replacement of the CCFL lamps is a task difficult and needs some attention...

  • ThinkPad T43 2686 DHU with windows 7 and no wireless

    Where can I get drivers for my laptop T43 2686 DHU for windows 7? IM also missing audio of those as well and the support of driver finder does not for windows 7. Ive searched the forums and is not much information on it, even though some have had to operate.

    Thank you

    Welcome to the community.

    your best bet is likely to be trying vista drivers when you can't find win7-specific versions. I presume you've seen the matrix of pilot t43 here: http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/research/hints-or-tips/detail.page?&DocID=HT035703 ?

    There are a few choices for wlan Vista, but unfortunately no list drivers audio.

    HTH a little.

  • Re: ThinkPad X60s BIOS lock

    I had questions affecting all BIOS options and learned to talk to my manager of the facility access (in the BIOS options). Unfortunately, I can't access and there is nowhere to give a supervisor password, so I can actually make changes. I was hoping someone can help me understand how I can make a change or do something that I can actually give the password.

    I know that there are rules about posting on security issues say do not post security solutions, but I hope it's ok and will allow me to know how I can enter the password so I can make changes in the BIOS.

    Thank you very much in advance!

    IvanZdr, welcome to the forum,

    the system must be in off State, it wont restart. When you start the system and see the BIOS boot screen you will need to press F1 when prompted to enter a password that you need to enter the supervisor password. If even the passwords are requested to enter these accordingly.

  • ThinkPad T43 1871-4AG

    Hello

    I know regarding the max resolution for this laptop is 1024 x 768. Is it possible to put it on 1280 x 1024. I tried the upgrade of drivers for graphics card and monitor. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Hi Mr Gutts the earthling...

    Unfortunately, you bought a laptop with a XGA screen rather than SXGA or UXGA resolution, they do not greater than 1024 x 768 resolution. In addition, there is no screen laptop I've seen with a screen resolution 1280 x 1024.

    Your options are limited with each purchase of a new monitor with SXGA or UXGA and replacing the current XGA screen that you have on them now.
