My 365XD has been running Windows NT 4.0 Workstation ever since 1998, when it was bought 2nd. hand.

Would a CPU from a 760XL work? I think I have been through everything and my conclusion is, that the CPU-card was made specifically for the 365X/XD-series. Your machine could be just fine as a whole. Either traces on the PCB's are cracked (Not likely) or theres a problem with the electronics (Likel...

Don't know. The FRU is 39T2853 and it kinda works in a Z61p with 100% CPU-load. Stuttery play and there might be further improvements to be done.

So until further noticed and Hastalavista Baby: 72 MB RAM is the maximum for the 365X/XD. But.....couldn't resist diggin' ..... Because the funny thing is, that the onboard 8 MB RAM is made up by four 16mbit RAM IC's. Researching further revealed, that a memorychip can be set up, controlled and use...

I'm also having a 128 MB EDO 60ns 144-pin SO-DIMM coming up. Not expecting it to work, but giving it a tiny chance. The RAM-stick finally arrived and it replaced the 64MB-stick. It actually does work, to my surprise, but just 64MB is recognized. The machine adds the onboard soldered 8 MB, bringing ...

Well my second Broadcom BCM70015 card arrived today and I swapped out the WiFi and installed the video card. I booted up and installed the drivers and a couple of minutes later, I was happily enjoying something that was previously impossible......1080p 50 fps video playback! I'm also very fond of t...

Want to buy: IBM High Rate Wireless LAN, FRU 22P4592 or FRU 09N9864. 16-bit PCMCIA. Condition of the unit must be excellent to mint and most preferrably including the drivers.

The WiFi adapter I will use will be something very tiny, a nano sized thing similar to this that barely sticks out at all... Considered that as well, but some are complaining about poor reception with these. So I thought "What the heck....how about going full retard and give this beauty an antenna....

And it may last many more years, but I'd recommend minimizing the number of heat cycles as the transition from room temp to operating temp and back can cause microfractures within the chip and result in failure. Many made before august are still working, and those made after february 2008 seem to f...

I think it should work because the WiFi card asks for Windows drivers to be installed, whereas the WWAN socket does not do that. I had thought of doing this before but did not want to lose WiFi features, although I have no idea why I did not just use my external USB adapter instead. Me too. It seem...

I have just ordered a second Broadcom because I cannot be bothered taking it back out from my X61 to test in the Z61p again :D . So when the second one arrives I will try it in the WiFi socket, and then use an external USB WiFi adapter (I have a few low profile ones). :thumbs-UP: Fingers crossed :D

I did try a Broadcom BCM70015 video decoder card in the WWAN PCIe card socket, but I later found out the socket lacks full USB functionality or something. So I moved the video card into my X61 and that can play anything, and full Blu Ray with ease. I suppose I could remove the WiFi card from the Z6...

Apparently yes. I'd practice with a spare CPU-card first. Better safe than sorry.

I'm also having a 128 MB EDO 60ns 144-pin SO-DIMM coming up. Not expecting it to work, but giving it a tiny chance.

My old 770Z ran a souped-up Pentium III 850 Mhz running at 700 Mhz I sold my 770Z with DEVA-card and a 770 to someone in France, including a lot of extras. If you bought it from a guy in Denmark some years ago, that is me :wink: The 770Z was indeed equipped with a P-III 850@700 MHz Once in a while ...

Recent developments. April 20, 2016. Any thoughts of giving the 365XD a MMX-processor is out of question. Further research crushed any dreams in this regard. All subjects, the 535, 380, 385, 760, 765-machines aren't compatible. The CPU-card is strictly made for the 365X/XD. However. A few Asian/Japa...

I have three Z61p and think they are wonderful. :bow: The most beautiful ThinkPad ever made ! Did you know that the Ultrabay Enhanced R61 Blu-Ray writer (P/N 39T2853, FRU 39T2852) fits and works in the Z61p ? Blu-Ray playback almost works here, although somewhat stuttering using the Leawo-player. P...

The Sharp was never used by Lenovo, it was used in the likes of Dell Latitude D800 series. Look for new or factory-refurbished ones on eBay (or local) in Europe. Shipping from USA will most likely kill any deal. Yup, will do that. Thanks. I've bought a lot from the good ol' US of A though. My 770Z ...

Thanks. Well, I got the CCFL ... and my ThinkPad disease is giving me the love to disassemble a machine to bits and pieces, just to reassemble it and see the life in it afterwards. During the process I'll see exactly which LCD Lenovo choosed to use. Wherether it's a Philips, LG or the sought after S...

My March 2008, T61p, nVidia FX570M, 15.4" WUXGA, is still working without any major hardware issues.

Just to let you know, that I'm typing this on a fully functional March 2008 T61p with nVidia FX 570M. Since getting it in July 2010 and reading of all the problems people have had with the T6x/nVidia-series, I kept an aggressive TP-Fancontrol settings ever since, with Fan64@61Celsius (142F), which I...

Just have to ressurect this old thread from 2007, because my IBM Thinkpad 365XD is still in perfect working order and have received a fine upgrade since. It was up and running this very evening, playing a couple of CD's, and just checking everything out on the machine. Two upgrades was made in 2009....

Be sure to blow clean the shared heat sink for the CPU/GPU once you have the keyboard off. Minimizing heat cycling will lessen the chance of the failure ....

BTW, what is the date code underneath your unit just to the right of the S/N .... format is YR/Mo ..... It says: 08/03. Type 6457-7GX machine, T61p It's a private secondhand buy (through a local Danish eBay-style auctionsite). Nothing with regard to a replacement of the planar/mainboard was ever me...

BTW, What are you folks typically seeing for temps on your T61p Nvidia GPU (FX 570M w/256mb) after idling for 10 or 15 minutes (or longer) with Power Manager set for Max Power settings and running off shore power. In HWiNFO32 I found some additional information: Video Chipset: nVIDIA Quadro FX 570M...

Since I bought my unit second hand in July 2010, I can't rule out, if a replacement have taken place during the first ownership.

1: Z61p

I'll get in touch with Customer Support Denmark first thing monday morning with the intention of replacing the mainboard on this thing.
