Thinkpad T60p Video/Graphics Issue

I am running a Lenovo thinkpad T60p, WinXP SP2, 1 GB RAM, dual core processor @ 2.16 GHz, ATI MOBILITY FireGL V5200 video card.
I am certainly not trying to run Half Life 2 on my laptop, or watch super HD-DVDs. However, even the smallest exertion of video graphics or even online game turns out to run pretty slow, sometimes lagging. online videos full screen consistently lag, while resizing to a smaller window usually helps them run faster. Flash games run pretty slow, and changing the setting to "low quality" usually helps a bit.
Laptop was purchased 2 years ago, started noticing these problems about 2-3 months ago.
Why is my laptop incapable of running even simple videos and games smoothly? How can i isolate the source of the problem?

Which ATI offical driver should I use, as the driver for on ATI's webiste for ATI MOBILITY FireGL V5250 is refer back to Lenovo's website which is the one I'm already using and was last updated 04 Sep 2007.

ThinkPad T60p not getting started

Hi,
My thinkpad T60p is not getting started. Whenever i switch on my laptop, the power and battery led glows for a second and goes away after that. And after that nothing happens. I tried by removing the battery for 1 minute and putting it back but nothing worked out. I got the same result of not able to start my laptop. My battery is fully charged.
Can anyone tell what could be the reason for this behavior?
Thanks,
Harish

1) Lenovo recalled T60p batteries as it has lot of issues
check your laptop batter is recalled or not by using this link : http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=BATT-LENOVO
2) remove your laptop battery and run the laptop with power connected & see if it started without any issues
in my case, it's working without battery and with battery i also had seen the same issue what you have. i got new battery from lenovo.
Try your luck too...
Thanks

Thinkpad T60p with Win XP - Lost color on external monitor (only black & white)

Hi, I have a ThinkPad T60P, and a couple of weeks ago, I lost color on my external monitor (connected by VGA cable)
I have done a lot of testing, and found a couple of strange things around this:
* when using docking station with two monitors, only monitor nr "1" inCatalyst Control Center shows colors, but not "2".
* When using external monitor (or projector) I don't get color
* When showing video on the external monitor, color works(!) This is only on some type of videos, I think. Flash videos (ie. YouTube does not show colors)
* When getting a bluescreen, the external monitor displays bluescreen with colors. When rebooting after bluescreen, colors were working while booting (windows logo with colors), but as soon as XP was up, colors were gone(!)
* I have tried updating to the latest graphics driver (79d533ww.exe), and all the settings in Catalyst Control Center / Control Panel
As a result of these findings, I beleive it must be a software problem, but since upgrading the drivers didn't work, I don't know what to try next.
I see also that there are other people experiencing the same problems, but I can't find any solution to this problem.

Cats seem to have a strong affinity for that display mode — remarkably often we hear that they've typed in the correct keystroke combo for it, and yet they never seem to set it back to normal after using the computer. Not very considerate, but you know cats: consideration isn't part of the package.

Network connectivity problems on a Lenovo ThinkPad T60p

Greetings,
I am having connectivity problems with my Lenovo Thinkpad T60p. And I would really appreciate some help.
I know both ethernet connectivity and WiFi connectivity work because if I boot with different OS, I can access the network. So this is not a hardware problem. It is a software problem...
I have uninstalled the existing Ethernet and Network drivers by removing them from:
1. The Control Pannel -> Add/Remove programs
2. The Control Pannel -> System -> Hardware -> Device Manager
3. The directory level in C:/devices/win/ethernet etc.
I have downloaded the drivers again. Re-installed. Same issues.
I see both card in The Control Pannel -> System -> Hardware -> Device Manager . The Wireless card is
ok. The Ethernet card shows a yellow alert sign.
At boot time I get a message indicating a service cannot be started but the the system logs show no related errors.
As far as wireless, the network card appears, in the Network tab of the Windows Task Manager, but the status
is "Non Operational". I can see the networks around me, but I cannot connect, even when there is no encryption. This might be the first one to fix, since it will give me mobility even if I sacrifice speed and open myself to hacking.
As far as ethernet, I see the network card DOES NOT appear in the Network tab of the Windows Task Manager, but as I mentionned before, I know that there is a problem with that.
I hope someone can help me with this. The only other options I have are re-install the OS, install another one, or take the machine in for service, something I am reluctant to do, as I claim to be an IT professional for 30 years and that I can fix other people´s machines...
Thank you.

Hello,
The ThinkPad T60p (2007-8EU) looks like a decently-configured ThinkPad:
2700(2.33GHz), 1GB RAM, 100GB 7200rpm HD, 14.1in 1400x1050 LCD, 256MB ATI FireGL V5200, CDRW/DVDRW, Intel 802.11abg wireless, Cingular WWAN, Bluetooth/Modem, 1Gb Ether, UltraNav, Sec Chip, FPR, 9c Li-Ion batt, WinXP Pro
The TPM driver is used to communicate with the T60p's integrated security module. You can download the latest version of the device driver from here on Lenovo's support site. Although listed as being for Windows 2000, XP and Vista, I believe it works just fine under Microsoft Windows 7 as well.
My working hypothesis is that removal of the third-party firewall damaged the network settings in Windows. That's a problem that periodically comes up with the various security software packages from different vendors.
What I would suggest at this point is the following:
Check with the third-party firewall vendor to see if they offer a manual uninstallation program to uninstall the software. Download that and run it per their instructions, booting into Safe Mode, if necessary.
When that process is complete, try resetting the network stack by issuing a "NETSH INT IP RESET RESETLOG.TXT" command per Microsoft Knowledgebase Article # 299357 "How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)". The article is applicable to Microsoft Windows XP SP3 and later.
At this point, you should be free of any services, device drivers, NDIS intermediate drivers, WinSock LSPs or other objects from the third-party firewall software, and all network connections should be restored to their default values.

Photoshop CC(2014) is having "redraw" or video driver/GPU issues

Since upgrading my Mac to OS X 10.10 (Yosemite), after a working on a file or two, my photoshop image window looks like this:
This is a JPG, after I have opened a RAW file, with Camera Raw 8.7 beta (happened before the Camera Raw
update), and make my adjustments, and save. Everything seems fine, the jpg preview looks fine, but after working
on about 3 images, EVERY jpg opens and looks something like this. I can see parts of other recent images
in the garbage as well, and the image changes drastically when I zoom in and out.
I already posted to the Adobe forums, and someone suggested it might be a video driver/GPU issue with the new OS X.
Any suggestion?

An Adobe employee in the online community had me turn off "Use Graphics Processor" in the photoshop/prefs/performance,
and that worked. Not a total fix, since I can't use that now, and something is clearly not compatible, but at lease I can use
Photoshop.

First thing I would do is either download and install your sound drivers, or install "system update" and let it search for any updates you may need.
However, if this just suddenly happened, meaning it was working fine one day, then just stopped, then you could have some hardware failure, but I'd go this route first.

Are you running the 9.0.1 Update of the program and on what computer operating system is it running?
Is your video card/graphics card driver up to date according to the manufacturer of the card?
Is your computer optimized, including maintenance of pile ups of preview files, conformed audio files, and conformed video files?
Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on your computer with Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1?
What are your project settings and what are the properties of your source media? When you say that "used to be able to export...." is that on the same computer, same brand/model/settings for the camera recording the video now in use, same Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1?
Where player are you using for the playback of these exports?
Please give us more details on the size of the projects (then and now) as well as details of the customized export settings in your Share/Computer/ route. Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1 is only a 32 bit application running in 32 bit or 64 bit system. Not sure if computer resources might be taxed more so now than before.

Lenovo ThinkPad T60P 2007-8EU - Removing LCD Front Bezel

Greetings,
I have just spent about four hours dis-assembling my Lenovo ThinkPad T60P 2007-8EU with the purpose of disabling the Blue Tooth device. One of the last steps before you do that is to remove the LCD Front Bezel. I have read the documentation and believe I have removed all the screws but I still can´t remove the Bezel.

Pages 117 - 118
I have the 14.1 inch monitor . So the information should be on page 117.
Can any one give me some advice here?
Thank you.

People,
I figured this one out.
There were two additional screws that had to be extracted. The documentation clearly showed this, but I did not see them because they, as several others, were neatly covered with plastic patches glued the screw position. It hides the screw and looks nice but it is difficult to figure out and harder to put back into place looking just as good after access.
While I was waiting for an answer, I figured it out. Thanks to anyone that read my message. No advice necessary. Problem solved. Thank you.

Unable to order recovery cds for used Thinkpad T60p's

I picked up three thinkpad t60p units second hand from my university's surplus auction, but per their policy the hard drives were totally wiped (including all partitions). I have looked up the FRU part numbers (43T8618 & 46V2346) here and wish to purchase the cds & dvds as spare parts. I tried to enter the part numbers here but it said the part could not be found in the database. I then tried calling the phone number on that page (1-800-765-5944), but I kept on getting bumped around to different numbers. I DO NOT wish to pay for a tech support call, I just want to order the parts! In fact I can't call support at all since they require a serial number but I do not have a way to get this information. This is due to the fact that the bios have been password protected but I do not have the bios password (the surplus guys have no clue), the stickers on the bottom having seen better days (serial number is not legible on two and only partially legible on the last), and obviously there is no OS to boot into. The only information I have is the model number (8741-CTO) and the operating system that was on them prior to the wipe (two were xp professional and one was vista ultimate). Anyway, I'm not concerned about trying to get this covered under warranty, as I am prepared to pay for the parts, if only I could actually order them! Please, somebody from lenovo, how the heck do I order these parts?

Yes, I know all about the supervisor password situation. Unfortunately these were part of 1000+ notebooks the surplus depot was auctioning off in lots and the supervisor password situation seems to have be on departmental level and unique to only a small subset of those sold. This is a state institution and, as such, little details like passwords tend to fall through the cracks. Since they were auctioned off and are no longer university property, the records (such as who had them/serial numbers/etc) were removed from the auditing system. I'm not going to return them because I got them for a song. Thus, I am going to be spending the next couple of months using some of my spare time to track down the department they came from using the tried and true method of trial-and-error. In the mean time, I would like to have them operational and having the supervisor password is irrelevant for this, since the system tries to boot from the optical drive and then the hdd. You know, why can't they put the serial number and what not inside the battery bay where it is less likely to come into contact with foreign substances/greasy hands/sharp surfaces? But more importantly, why is it such a hassle to order these disks? I mean, I have had to order restore disks in the past from HP and it is easy as pie. I just place my order with the parts system online, no serial numbers, no calls to tech support, or any other nonsense needed. Seriously, it isn't like these will work on a non-Lenovo system since you still need a valid key/slic in the system's eeprom. The search continues, but I think I will go the e-bay route for the XP Pro disks. I still need the Vista Ultimate recovery disks, however.

Bonjour,
- Il n'y a pas de problèmes si vous la sauvegarder sur le disque dur du Mac ?
- En quel type est formaté la clé USB ou le disque dur ?
Si c'est fait à la base pour Windows, en Fat32 (MS-DOS), la copie est limitée à des fichiers de 4 Go sur ces disques donc c'est peut-être ça le problème.
Il faudrait soit couper la vidéo en deux ou reformater le disque et dans ce cas, en HFS+, si vous utilisez uniquement ces disques dans un environnement Mac. Pas de problèmes de tailles de fichiers et 100% compatible avec OS X.
Si vous les utilisez sur Windows aussi et vous voulez passer cette limitation de taille, il faudra reformater en choissisant le format ExFAT mais peut être compatible à 100% avec les fonctions de votre Mac.
Attention avant de reformater bien sûr car ça efface toutes les données présentes sur le disque ou la clé USB.
Je vous conseille de lire la première réponse de ce sujet pour en savoir plus sur les compatibilités et les formats de disques :

Thinkpad T60P and IMAC

Hello,
I just read your posting, and tried to apply to my home networking problems. I seem to be having some difficulty with my PC or perhaps my router though ...
From the remote desktop client, I got the error: The Mac cannot connect to the Windows based computer. The problem might be temporary. Try connecting again, or contact your administrator.
From the Finder/Go/Connect to server method, I received the error "The finder cannot complete the operation because some data in smb://192.168.1.117 could not be read or written. (Error code -36)".
... any ideas what this problem might be?
Thanks in advance,

Thinkpad T60p fails to connect to the network.

At this point, when I turn on the wireless, I can see all of the available networks, but when I choose an open network, anyone, the network connection process starts, almost completes, and then, I get the following error:

T60p video problem (not driver issue)

I have a T60p (Model Number 8744-C9U). It has a ATI graphics chipset (exact model unknown).
Few weeks ago I had a Fan Error. I found a replacement fan assembly with help from this forum and replaced it. The replacement seems to have gone OK and I do not see the Fan Error on boot up. Heat is also being dissipated from the vents at the side and back.
But, the video on the LCD seems scrambled. I tried an external monitor with the same results. I can make out some letters sometimes but for the most part the graphics is wrong.
During initial boot, I can enter the setup screens and can read most of the screen fine. The laptop has Ubuntu on it and I can see the Ubuntu logo (though not 100% clear) as well. After that the screen is scrambled.
I tried to test with PC Doctor from the Lenovo forum. Most of the tests pass. I tried the video test as well and it seems to work, except that the lines or block are not clear.
Any suggestions on next steps? Could the graphics chipset be fried because of the earlier fan issue? Could I have done something wrong while replacing the fan assembly.
Thanks

Thinkpad W550S - Video Probleme

Hallo, ich hab heute mein neues Thinkpad W550s bekommen und hab große Probleme.
Immer wenn ich versuche ein Video zu schauen (unabhängig der Plattform) schießt die CPU Auslastung auf 100% und der ganze Laptop wird mega langsam.
Dieses Problem besitze ich sowohl bei YouTube Videos im Internet als auch bei lokalen Videos, die ich via VLC abspiele.
Die CPU Auslastung von 100% ist vorallem in den höhren Auflösungen vorhanden, aber selbst bei niedrigen Auflösungne erreiche ich eine Auslastung von 50-80% .
Hat jemand ähnlche Probleme oder weiß, wie ich am besten vorgehe?

I was having sound issues (cracking and popping) as well issues with audio on WiDi until I stopped the program Discovery.exe using Task Manager. I removed the program Lenovo EMC Storage Connector (which is what is called) using the Control Panel. Since then no more popping and audio issues. No promises that is your issue but it was mine.
