OK...VICTORY IS MINE!!! Thanks for the advice. The audio driver was not in a simple location but was hidden, embeded in a folder within a folder within a folder, etc. So I dug through and it finally loaded the right sound driver. So far, I should have known how to do all of this. It's not the first ...

I love my T-43. But a few months ago, I got a glitch in the XP boot sequence. I have no recovery disks or anything like that so i have been running on an Ubuntu live disk for several months. So tonight, I just finally reinstalled XP from another disk. TWO QUESTIONS: 1) It will not recognize that it ...

Hmm, but a search on "extend heap" reveals many tutorials for hackers on how to exploit security weaknesses. Is a virus a possibility? Haven't had a chance to reseat the memory stick yet. But couldn't someone with an emergency boot disk or something find the problem? I don't really remember if this...

I would assume that "rt 1 extendheap " is what it can't find.

The "dynamic link library" is a file (.DLL) on your hard drive. The error message should display which .DLL it's trying to access. In any event, I'd try the following before attempting an OS re-install: - re-seat all memory modules and run a complete memory diagnostic (memtest86+) - assuming that t...

Love my T43 so much that I just paid around $300 for a new mother board for it, almost what I payed for it refurbished. Sunday afternoon, left town for a thanksgiving trip home. Second day there, rebooted the computer and got the message "Procedure entry point rt 1 extendheap could not be located in...

Assuming that you still have a good battery (one that accepts and holds a charge), my guess would be that the replacement motherboard has a blown fuse or some other problem with the battery charging circuitry. If you are running Windows, there should at least be a battery icon down in the system tr...

There are several fuses on the T4x motherboard. You can download a fuse map prepared by one of our members here: Well, I gave up and took in in for repair. Replaced the motherboard. I picked it up this afternoon. Took it home, plugged it in and have been on it for around two hours. Tonight, I am si...

http://outlet.lenovo.com/accessories/power-adapters/55y9124.html I tried a couple that were the correct "everything" including voltage, plug, etc. But my T43 did not react at all. So I ordered the adapter above. Got it today. Plugged it in. Nothing. No lights, no led light on the computer letting m...

My AC adapter had given up the ghosts and the cable is broken at the adapter. So, I need a new power adapter. I tried out a couple from Frys but could not get them to work. Lenova did not seem to offer one for the T43. So where do I find one?? I am going out of town and will have to be without my tr...

Just make sure you get the correct key-type (there are three).
Most offer you pictures to compare with your own keyboard.

The more I looked around, that is exactly what I did

Thanks for the info

Thanks. I realized I already have that manual on my computer

Thanks again

Help!!!

The ."period" key fell off my T43. The little rubber thing keeps moving around and i can't find any of the little metal spring thingies. In other words, I need to replace this keyboard. Is there and easy, relatively easy way to do it?


Thanks for suggestions

What about ITXchange? They have warehouses all over the world. I bought my last 2 thinkpads from them. I got my Thinkpad T43 Refurbished about three months ago (or so) from Tiger Direct dot com. Love it. Paid $329.00 on sale, reg. $349. Made a believer out of me. I just ordered the new Thinkpad USB...

I wanted a T-mobile Dash when it first came out. But I got a Palm Treo instead of love it. And even the T-mobile guys told me it couldn't do what i do on Sprint!!! That was the clincher right there.

The WD 320GB 5400rpm drive blows my old Hitachi 80GB 7200rpm drive out of the water in terms of performance. Is this WD drive on the T43? Do you still get the beep and error?

OOTH, why must you always use the latest versions? I'm happily running Office 2000 and 2003. Only ever use Word and Excel. Never felt the need to throw money out the window(s) by buying Office 2007 or later. I use Open Office on all my computers since my last computer that had "MS OFFICE" died a fe...

Hmmm...is it possible to disable only that beep? The error beep or something??

Yes Error 2010 gives 2 beeps and pauses for 3 seconds, but continues to boot on its own. I used hdparm to check the ATA command features on the WD 320GB and it does support IDLE_IMMEDIATE with UNLOAD so APS will work just fine! :mrgreen: Is it possible to disable the beep in the bios or something??...

Unfortunately yes, it is not readily available and is out of production. I have been reading the HD Faq. So will most 120gb 2.5" hard drives work without the error or only this Fijutsu?

All 2.5" laptop hard drives 'work well' in a T43, but some produce a 2010 boot error, which can be bypassed by a BIOS option. The largest drive that you can install that will not produce the error is the 120GB Fujitsu MHV2120AH. The best price I am finding for this particular drive is around $100. ...

That is correct.

I assumed "X4*" meant T41, T42, T43, etc. I may have assumed wrong.

So are you saying the T43 uses the 2.5" size?

???

I am stuck at point one. If I understand correctly, "the X4* series requires a 1.8" drive." I'm having trouble finding that one anywhere. But I will keep looking!

Bingo! I never thought to use the word "clone" in the search.

I don't beleive Partition Magic has cloning capabilities, but a product like Acronis Trueimage or HDClone would work. Yes, I'd say most folks clone the old to the new when they upgrade their hard drives. Try a forum search for more details, this gets asked as often as 2 or 3 times a week here. Than...
