A good battery deal?

I just bought a used T30 battery for my T22 off Craigslist for 60 dollars. It was manufactured by Panasonic in September of 2003 and first used in February of 2004. It has only 21 cycles and a capacity of 44.45Wh out of 47.52Wh. The guy I bought it from will give me a refund after a week if I don't ...

Restoring the system / Get rid of viruses

My T22 has a lot of viruses and I was wondering if I could just reset the computer to the factory settings to get rid of them. All of the files I need easily fit on my ipod mini so backup is real easy. Would this get rid of the viruses and would it be a good idea? If so, how exactly would I do this?...

It turns out it didn't work. We got the blue screen when XP would start to boot up. Could this be because my computer has 2000? After my hard drive was put back in everything was back to normal. Was it not booting up because my computer is set up for a different operating system?

T30 Hard drive in T22?

My friend's T30 motherboard crashed. He wants to try putting his hard drive into my T22 to get any data off.

Is this feasible? We don't want to mess up our computers but he would like to get his data off the hard drive as soon as possible. Thanks

Thanks. Now I'm wondering how much it matters if the battery is IBM or a good generic replacement Will the battery management software recognize non-OEM batteries?

T30 battery in T22?

Is this possible? I thought I read in one of the posts that I am now unable to find that the two batteries can be swapped into each other. If that is the case, does the T30 battery have a greater capacity and is it a good idea to get one of them?

As someone who just purchased a stick of PC100 memory for my T22 I'd caution purchasing any memory until you know it works in your actual computer. I tried to buy a stick of 256mb memory and after trying at least 12 different sticks of memory (new, used, PC100, PC133), finally found one my T22 didn'...

Possibly dumb memory question

I have a T22 that could use a little more memory than 128mb and a broken Dell laptop with a 64mb stick. The Dell stick is PC66mhz and the T22 likes PC100. I know from reading a post that the T2x series is notorious for not accepting memory sticks faster than PC100, but is there a chance this slower ...

22 years old. I got a used T22 so I could work outside my room (I live in a fraternity) and work on Excel spreadsheets with my professors in office hours. It has since replaced my newer HP desktop as my primary computer.

I think a good analogy to this argument would be to associate the laptops with cars. The flashy products made by Sony and Dell, etc. remind me of a tricked out Honda Civic or Subaru (engine swaps, nitrous, turbochargers, internal computers, etc.) while the Thinkpad strikes me as being similar to a B...

The IBM site lists a large number of BIOS (diskette or non-diskette?) and drivers to install (~100). This is after I had it detect my system. I'm not sure if I need all of those. Should I go through and install every one? Thanks,

Updating/maintainingupgrading my used T22

I just bought a used T22 from IBM used equipment. I'm not sure if my version of the BIOS (whatever they are) and other software is up to date. I did all the updates for my operating system through Microsoft. Does anyone have any good suggestions for making sure my new computer runs smoothly now and ...
