Have you tried pushing down on the lower keyboard and/or touchpad area while booting? I've seen similar symptoms on T4x and R5x machines that have a loose GPU. If this lets the machine boot, you'll have identified the problem.

I've been away from these forums for a bit (life and work been keeping me busy), but I had to share this Ebay auction. This Thinkpad/Printer seems quite rare might be interesting for you all. Too bad it's sold as non-working!

Update: All items taken.

Thanks for asking. Here's the info from Lenovo Support:

PM sent. I picked up the 560x and assorted parts from the OP. I'm keeping the 560x. If anyone wants the other parts, let me know. Just pay for the cost of shipping.

Price reduced. Manual bump...

Thanks for catching that. Yes, these are 256MB.

Okay... so not so recent. This goes back several months.

I've never seen the message "Starting PC DOS" on any of my machines. Is this a cloned drive of some sort? A Google search references quite a few links to Norton Ghost.

Back in the day when I ran a 560 as my main machine, I used a PCMCIA based CD-Rom. It has a driver disc (3.5" floppy). If I recall correctly, this is the procedure I used: 1. Format drive /s using Windows 95/98/ME boot floppy. 2. Install driver for CD drive. 3. Run Windows disc from CD drive. Perhap...

Instead of repairing, have you tried a new installation of Windows? Or do you have a specific reason for trying to repair?

Unbelievable! Not too long ago, these were $50 on Lenovo outlet. For $20 shipped, it's a bargain for sure.

If you're looking for the external battery charger attachment (charges battery without laptop) let me know. Mine's for sale (genuine Lenovo).

Machine available again. Revised and manual bump.

This is EDGE brand 256MB, low density memory in clamshell packaging. Tested and works fine in my Thinkpad 600X. This memory should work for many older machines (600 series, 770 series, 570 series, T20-T22, A20-A22, and many others). $10 for each module-- shipping within USA included. Max out the mem...

I've gone through a slew of netbooks and have decided to get rid of all of them. Unfortunately, none of them met my needs. I've used the EeePC machines extensively as they were my favorite of the bunch. Still, they are too small to type on and were missing the Thinklight. I'm not the best typist and...

These are in their original IBM packaging with the seal intact. Off the top of my head, these will work with T30, T40-T42, R40, R50-R1, A31, and X31-X32 machines.

Two available. $12 each or $20 for both including shipping within USA.

If the machine is going to be stationary most of the time, it would be cheaper to go with an R series machine. These are cheap and quite durable. I've bought a couple of Celeron based R60 machines. Upgrading to a dual core is a simple process. Here's a complete 14" Celeron model for $110 shipped: ht...

My parents' Apple III (number 1 on that list) was the first computer I ever used. The same computer is sitting in a cabinet in my garage. Can't decide if I'm keeping it for sentimental reasons or because it might be worth something one day...

IMHO, 14" T60's and R60's are two of the most reliable and rugged machines in ThinkPad history (and they were one of the last with nice and tall 4:3 ratio LCDs). I'll second that opinion! These 14" machines are incredibly sturdy and are probably the "best buy" for anyone on a tight budget. Old enou...

I've already got enough projects to keep me busy for the next year... without these new machines! Since the motherboard on my Z61m started going out, I've reverted to my T60 while working on a plan for a replacement widescreen. A few weeks ago, I bought a widescreen T60 which needs a new fan. While ...

The displays for your two machines should be interchangeable. Make sure you take a look at the HMM, but it'll be easy to swap the entire assemblies.

If the LCD is lighting up, the problem isn't with the inverter.

You might want to post the 7 digit machine type for your machines. That will tell us with original configuration from the factory.

Well, here's an update for anyone following this thread. Got the box the other day. Packaging was minimal and consisted of a couple layers of the small bubble wrap. :| Inside: 1x T400 - No optical, no wifi, no HDD/caddy/rails/cover, no memory. With and without memory installed the machine will spin ...

According to Logitech, the mouse and keyboard use the same receiver: http://logitech-en-amr.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/16148/~/using-my-mk320-with-a-different-usb-receiver Set at Staples: http://www.staples.com/Logitech-MK320-Cordless-Desktop/product_792257 $19.99 free shipping through tom...

For software on older machines I've used either VLC or the K-lite codec pack with Media Player Classic. I think your 770X might be a bit slow for flash video on Youtube. You might consider upgrading the CPU to at least a 500mhz P3. Its relatively simple and cheap-- I owned a 770X at one time and it ...

Someone buy this to save me from myself.... don't know how long I can resist this deal! I run my machines docked 99% of the time anyway.

I think the safe bet would be that none of the machines power up (or power up to a password request). Since the seller mentions a cracked LCD in one of the machines, but not the others I would assume that the rest are physically undamaged. I don't know what "original memory" refers to... the fuzzy p...

http://www.ebay.com/itm/200655658694 I wonder what this would have sold for if the auction title and item description were better. Looking at the seller's history, he/she seems to deal with Thinkpads quite a bit, so I'm surprised at the lack of detail in this listing. Hiding faults? or just lazy? Th...

A31 used solder with lead, which melts at a MUCH lower temperature and stays liquid longer. Thanks for that information. I knew that the T series started using non-leaded solder around the time of the T4x series. It seems obvious now, but I did not know that the solder had different temperature and...
