thanks nex86! This registry fix on top of win11 Synaptics drivers indeed fixes also the touchpad buttons. I'm running build 22471 insider preview.

Windows 11 installs without issues on T60 with C2D 7200 processor. Install stick was W10 stick with modified W11 install.esd file. Very slow as I used 40GB spinning drive. Ah, touchpad buttons did not work but I used a mouse. Not planning to use but just wanted to try it. Writing this from T440p wit...

Just installed Windows 11 Pro insider preview on T440P with Synaptics. Simple install as it is not yet requiring TPM 2.0. Positive surprise is that touchpad and buttons are working without any additional driver. Gestures are not available but perhaps I try W10 drivers if I leave this on my laptop. N...

Sounds like an over heating issue. I have a T60 which very easily overheats with windows and freezes or shuts down. Linux runs without issues. Try changing the bios settings; use battery optimized also for AC or something similar setting. Try installing in cooler place. If this helps fix the cooling.

Thanks for the help! WWAN slot - it's new information for me. As I understood, this port is inside notebook, and I'm not sure may I open its myself. What if this port already busy? Or missing on my T420? (I have corporate version without fingerprint scanner and with sticker "No encryption"). Second...

Check if boot is set UEFI mode, legacy BIOS or compatibility mode. If it is UEFi then it does not boot without proper UEFI install?

Tx20 and Tx30 non s and s cannot use DDR3L. Use DDR3 with 2Rx8 (16 chips per module) and brand names/major makers in order to have successful 16GB operation. I'm really tired of people here not aware these notebooks have not went on to newer DDR3L yet till T4x0 series. It's the memories which are b...

I have Kingston HyperX Impact Black 16 Gt KIT (2 x 8 Gt) 1866 MHz DDR3L-SODIMM CL11 on my T420. This together with modified bios and SSD is a nice combination. However, I don't know if there is similar bios for the s-model that can use the memory with full speed.

Bad battery can also cause freezes. Try also without battery.

I also get error if I try kextutility on T400. On T60 it most of the time do not accept the password. I've been waiting a better version of the utility and at some point will try again. Workaroup would be to do everything manually but recently I have not had time to figure that out. EDIT: It could b...

After trying OSX 10.9 to a T60 http://forum.thinkpads.com/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=111976 I moved the drive to T400 and booted. Logged in here with Mavericks. Wlan not recognised but wired connection works. Trackpoint not yet. External mouse yes. Sounds not yet but I will look that. Graphics is recognis...

Install on the way. Lets see how it goes. This T60 is C2D7200 with Intel graphics and 2*2GB memory. I'm following this guide: http://www.tonymacx86.com/374-unibeast-install-os-x-mavericks-any-supported-intel-based-pc.html I already had 10.6.8 installed so starting is easy. Using 32GB USB stick. Find...

Your should first try the advanced boot options, press F8 and select safe mode. If you get in you can delete the password. This works if the adminstrator password has not been set, which is usually the case..

I moved ssd from T60 to T400, all I did was moved the drive and booted into safe mode with networking. After a while Windows 7 had done the changes. ...On Ubuntu 12.04 there was nothing to do, it really doesnt mind about changes.

Has anyone had any experience with aftermarket replacement batteries? I have also - two T30 batteries which lasted for 1-2 years (several years ago) - three T60 batteries of which 2 have lasted 1-2 years already and are still good. Third battery was mechanically loose and half of the battery died a...

I have also bought my firs T400 and have been searching compatible 4GB memory. If you google around you will find that people claim these to work: G.SKILL 8GB (2 x 4GB) 204-Pin DDR3 SO-DIMM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10600) Laptop Memory Model F3-10600CL9D-8GBSQ Crucial 8GB (2 x 4GB) 204-Pin DDR3 SO-DIMM DDR3 1...

I deleted VoodooPS2Controller.kext and now using kexts from TRACKPAD.SYNAPTIC-GESTURE.zip. Now seems that that only trackpad is not functional. (Using USB mouse now). Everything else seems to work.(I've never learned to use touchpad which I keep disabled). Still seeing that boot tries to load Voodoo...

I updated VoodooHDA to version 2.8.2, less errors now but still no keyboard (using onscreen kbd). Next I should to do something to this(?): X60T error - CFBundleVersion bad value '10.6.5.1' npvhash=4095 Darwin Kernel Version 10.6.0: Wed Nov 10 18:11:58 PST 2010; root:xnu-1504.9.26~3/RELEASE_X86_64 v...

:D I did not think that I could use my standard GRUB menu to start Ubuntu, W7 or OSX. It seems to work fairly nicely, however. Only major problem with my installation is that on 64-bit OSX 10.6.6 the thinkpad own keyboard is not functional. On 32-bit version it works but on that side the wlan does n...

Looking the drive where the install DVD is (with Ubuntu); it is just ordinary disk with folders [Applications, bin, dev, Install Mac OS X.app, Instructions.localized, Library, Optinal Installs.localized, private, sbin, System, usr, Volumes, etc, tmp, var] and a file [mach_kernel]. The drive name is ...

Where did you find help to put the DVD image onto a partition from ubuntu? There was no step to step instructions. I believe this is what I did 1. prepare a drive with a few HSF partitions (or HSF+ not sure) with Gparted I think. 2. mounting of the HSF partition with write access is needed. This ma...

If iboot only recognizes optical disk, you can do as I did (on this thread): The install DVD was scratched or something else and I ended using image file which I was able to write to HFS+ partitioned hard disk with Ubuntu. Chimera as a boot loader can read the dmg (or was it ISO package, I'm not tot...

The only way to tweak T60 bios is to change the bios. I've been following couple of projects every now and then. This is one of them: http://www.coreboot.org/Supported_Motherboards

As you can see T60 is listed but this is far from easy or riskless.

When there are freezes it can also be the battery. Try without it..

Did you upgrade to SSD? SSD drives in Finland are still fairly expensive compared to US and for the time beeing the T7200 with reasonable HD is more or less fast enough. For work I have T420 with SSD and I do admit it really makes difference but my three T60 will have SSD later. I'm running Ubuntu ...

I have upgraded three T60 Thinkpads with T1300s to T7200 and my two doughters and I are happy. Nice upgrade

remember to flash recent bios first and use arctic silver for heat transfer.

I have now working 10.6.0 installed on a USB drive.
Everything seems to work or at least I don't know yet what doesn't.

Thank's go mainly to this forum and Chimera boot loader.

It took me some time to understand all the instructions but the end result looks quite good.

Solved: The OSX disk (DVD) was damaged (scrached) and running the install with -x flag meant that OSX reported that the install was successfull even it was not. With some help I now have the DVD image installed to a hd partition and now the bootloader stars install from hd. I was able to start OSX a...
