Re: Has anyone tried an SSD in the X41? *PICS*

I went through many of these pages and searched, but I have a fairly simple question. Is the 60gb Lenovo SSD upgrade a simple process, and pretty much un-buggy? I'll likely be installing Win7 for a Car PC project running data acquisition for SCCA SOLO and PRO-SOLO racing (USB touchscreen in the Das...

Re: X41 buzzing or grinding sound

Thanks mediasponge, the grinding is definitely just the fan. So besides the hard drive and fan noise, is an electrical humming on either battery or ac power normal? It's only discernible in a dead quiet room.

X41 buzzing or grinding sound

Is it normal for there to be a buzzing sound when I put my ear to the laptop? Also, is a grinding sound normal when I turn it upside down? Thank you.

t60 screen woes

The lower 1/3 of my screen is black while the rest of the lcd works. I can get it to work if I bend the screen frame a certain way and hold it there though. Is there an easy fix for this?

Okay, I got the new hard drive and was too impatient to wait for a recovery disk so I installed XP on it, but now the network drivers don't work even after burning them onto a disk and installing them on the T41. Do I absolutely need to recover to the original software for this computer to work?

Annoying problems, please help

So I need to buy a new hard drive for my T41 since my current one is completely dead but I have no idea what to replace it with. And also how do I recover back to original thinkpad software if I can't even access the recovery partition?

sound static

This only happens sometimes but my left speaker goes staticy whether it's on head phones, speakers or the built in speakers. What's going on? It happens in all software also.

Two annoying problems

There seems to be a whining noise coming from the left side of my laptop where the fan vents are. Also, whenever I go into sleep or hibernate and turn it back on, my network adapter doesn't work so I have to disable and re-enable it.

Whenever I go into sleep or hibernate and resume Vista my internet stops working and I have to repair or disable and re-enable my lan card. What's going on, I have all the latest drivers and what not.

Dual channel

I just bought a pair of 1gb x 2 of dual channel ram and was wondering whether it would be better performance wise to install these two and leave out the IBM 1gb stick or install all 3gb. I use the t60 for gaming and word processing primarily.
