A21p laptop

Hello everyone
My native language is not English and I can not stand with the best of English. I use translator with Google so that errors are possible.
I use IBM thinkpad A21p - 2629HWG and unfortunately know very little about him. I hope that you can more data to date me about this notebook.
My interest to me is that operating system was installed on it originally?
Can I am for him to buy a new Ram 256MB of memory and where.
What is the screen on it, which is the manufacturer.
Can I at him, to install XUbuntu as the operating system.
Thanks for help

Welcome to the forum!
Feel free to PM me and we can change the language...
This is the original description of your ThinkPad:
Product: ThinkPad A21p 2629-HWG [change] Operating system: All [change] Original description: PIII 850MHz (256KB) 128MB RAM 32.0 GB-HS 15.0 TFT 1600x1200 8X-DVD, 3Com Combo, Win2000
Maximum RAM is 2x256Mb PC100 or low density PC133 (8 chips per side, 16 total). Original hard drives were 12.5mm, you can use standard 9.5mm ATA/IDE with no issues. You should be able to find most parts for it, RAM included, on Ebay.
LCDs were made by LG Philips I believe, but these are long gone from production lines.
With the RAM maxed out, you should be able to run Ubuntu, although I'd opt for a lighter distro because of the low RAM...there were a couple of Serbian distros which were quite good a couple of years ago, what happened with that? You may want to start there and move on...I normally run PC Linux OS 2006 version on older ThinkPads...
Hope this helps.

Can I add information in this program and whether it will work normally. If it is possible to add, please write to me to row, what and where to write.
Unfortunately it's my first introduction to the Linux system. I have another problem, my knowledge of English is minimal.
Since the installation was similar to the language as my native, I managed to do.

Ham radio is shutting down my brand new Z61t Laptop!!!

Hi everyone, I just bought a Z61t 9441 laptop and I am experiencing a problem when I traxmitt my 2 meter ham radio which shuts down the laptop. I put the powersupplys on different breakers and that didn't solve the problem. When I key the mike on the transceiver immediately the Z61t shuts down and I have to disconnect the battery and power supply cord to get it to reboot from scratch. I have not tried any other frequencies other that 2 meter as I don't have my HF attenna up yet, but can anyone tell me if they are having the same problem? No one on the 2 meter net today could suggest anything but a power supply problem and I have ruled it out. It has to be an RF problem, why would 2 meter RF shut down the Z61t??????? Any input would be appreciated because I did not have this problem with my Sony Vaio laptop at all?????

Now that is a strange problem... I'll have to check and see if my Yaesu VX-5R does the same with any of my Thinkpads. Although since I don't have a proper license to transmit in the 2 meter band, my tests will be into a dummy load. What kind of power are you running on your rig and how far is your laptop away from your antenna? Certainly a large amount of RF is not something which some electronics can tolerate well. Even my car (a 3-series BMW) has a sticker which says I'm not supposed to operate amateur radio or cell phones (!) inside as it might interfere with the vehicle's own data communication systems.

How to know the model of my laptop

I have a lenovo laptop to which he ruined the charger, I could not buy another by the data model of the computer are deleted by use and was left without charging the battery to get it, the number only to be read is the "product id. 8922a44" as I can get the model from this number to buy the charger. Thank You

Welcome to the forum.
Product number 8922-A44 is a Lenovo 3000 C200. It uses a standard Lenovo AC adapter, 20VDC, 3.25A (65W) or 4.5A (90W). You should be able to find a new or used adapter with these specifications at most computer shops.

When ordering a laptop, is an AC adapter included?

I'm new to the laptop market, and I will soon be ordering a Y50. I have a very simple question: When I order this laptop, will there be an included AC adapter, or will I have to order the 135W AC adapter for an extra $85? I just want to know whether I have to pay $760 or $845 for my new laptop.
Solved!

Welcome to the forum and to the Lenovo world.
An AC adapter is always included with the laptop.
Lenovo shows AC adapters as separate line items in the order process because some people buy a spare with their laptop, typically so they can have one at the office and one in their travel bag or at home.

Can I return my laptop

I bought my laptop around the beginning of March 2011. I am very dissatisfied with it and was wondering if I could bring it in for a refund.The computer is a Dell Inspiron.

I'm sorry, but you only have 14 days to return a laptop. You could send it in for repair if there is an issue with the device.

WRT120N no longer recognized by laptops

I'm not quite sure where the problem lies, so I'm going to go over everything that happened so I can hopefully get an answer. Any help is MUCH appreciated.
We were running a few laptops (Acer Aspire 5517 on Vista) off our WRT120N router wirelessly. We have it hooked up to a wireless modem. All signs show that the modem and router are running fine. The wireless network we were using, I'll call it Network-1, stopped showing up as an option in the wireless connect menu. Prior to this all the laptops could connect to Network-1 by wire or wirelessly without a problem. I don't know what happened to start the problem, but Network-1 is no longer a wireless network option.
When I wire a laptop to the router, it connects to the internet and says it's currently connected to Network-1. But when I try to connect the wireless network via a wired connection, the new network I set doesn't show up in the connection menu. When I try to set up the router again (while the computer is wired), I get the error message "Windows did not detect any wireless network hardware". So it seems that although I am able to get an internet connection through the router, the computer is not recognizing it.
One of the laptops is able to connect wirelessly through a different network (Network-2). It looks like Network-2 was set up automatically by the laptop. Another laptop has Network-2 as an option, but it says the network security key is wrong. I have no idea what the password might be, the computer where Network-2 works connects automatically, I haven't had to type a password. I'm not sure what happened here, if it's two different connections with the same name, or if it's the same thing. I don't even know if this is relevant.
Again, we would be SO grateful for any help!

Well i think due to some reason the wireless settings of your Router must have got resetted, that's the reason you are unable to see your wireless network name. So you need to Hardwired you computer to the Router and login to the router setup page and change the wireless settings of your Router.
Open an Internet Explorer browser page on your wired computer(desktop).In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1 and press Enter...Leave Username blank & in Password use admin in lower case...
For Wireless Settings, please do the following : -
Click on the Wireless tab
- Here select manual configuration...Wireless Network mode should be mixed...
- Provide a unique name in the Wireless Network Name (SSID) box in order to differentiate your network from your neighbors network...
- Set the Radio Band to Standard-20MHz and change the Standard channel to 11-2.462GHz...Wireless SSID broadcast should be Enabled and then click on Save Settings...
Please make a note of Wireless Network Name (SSID) as this is the Network Identifier...
For Wireless Security : -
Click on the Sub tab under Wireless > Wireless Security...
Change the Wireless security mode to WPA, For Encryption, select TKIP...For Passphrase input your desired WPA Key. For example , MySecretKey , This will serve as your network key whenever you connect to your wireless network. Do NOT give this key to anyone and remember the key.
NOTE : Passphrase should be more that 8 characters...
Click on Advanced Wireless Settings
Change the Beacon Interval to 75,Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304,Change the RTS Threshold to 2304 and Click on Save Settings...
Now see if you can locate your Wireless Network and attempt to connect...

We don't know what Apple plans on doing to change this (and it may not be just Apple but more likely the publishers, since Apple would, of course, do whatever it could to maximize sales/profits). Right now you can only read Apple books on mobile devices. Sure, buy them from Amazon if you want to read them on the computer. We don't work for Apple so we're pretty impartial on this kind of advice.
You might also see what your library can offer. My wife can browse the county library from her iPhone, borrow e-versions, and read books on it too. Free!

Email address change--how does this affect laptop and nook?

I use my Adobe ID only to authorize my laptop and Nook. I need to change my email address which seems easy on the FAQs, but how do I then reauthorize my laptop and Nook? And, if I do this, are all my existing library books unreadable since they were downloaded by what the Nook thinks is a different user? I'm almost sure I won't be able to return any books in ADE on my laptop, but I can live with that if I can still read the books on the Nook.
Thanks in advance.

The sync process with iTunes transfers the email account settings (for your chosen accounts via your iPhone sync preferences) from the Mail application on your Mac to the iPhone's email application.
The iPhone is running OS X and the iPhone's email client can be considered a mobile version of the Mail application.

Creating a backup of functional drive removed from broken laptop

I have a new Macbook Pro running Mountain Lion that is damaged and won't turn on. I have the drive removed and can access it using a docking station attached to my iMac running 10.6.
What is the simplest way to backup the data from this drive so that after the laptop is repaired I can return my data to the Macbook Pro?

Using Disk Utility to clone a drive will automatically erase the Destination drive if it isn't already erased. To backup to a drive with stuff already on it you would need to use a backup utility like one of these:
Suggested Backup Software
1. Carbon Copy Cloner
2. Data Backup
3. Deja Vu
4. SuperDuper!
5. Synk Pro
6. Tri-Backup
Others may be found at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.
Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on backup and restore. Also read How to Back Up and Restore Your Files.
Be sure the backup utility is NOT configured to erase all files on the destination that are not on the source. If there are files identical to those already on the drive, then they will be overwritten.

How to take mailboxes from desktop drive to laptop and back?

I want to copy my e-mail messages (in their user-created mailboxes) from my main G5 to my laptop so I can review them elsewhere, then return them to the G5. I thought I could just copy the Mailboxes folder (or maybe the whole massive Mail folder), place that the corresponding folder in my laptop user Library, then do the same when I get home -- replace the older mailboxes folder with a revised version.
But when I do so, I get a mailbox in the laptop's Mail, but no messages in it.
What am I doing wrong? This should be an easy task, I would think.

Which recommendation? Did you actually read what I said at the bottom of the post you’ve quoted? And why have you quoted the entire post?
The file format used by Mail changed drastically in Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger). Mail 2.x knows about the old data format and can import mailboxes created by Mail 1.x, but Mail 1.x knows nothing about the new data format used by Mail 2.x. Actually, the conversion from Mail 1.x to Mail 2.x mailboxes is broken and Mail 2.x sometimes can only import Mail 1.x mailboxes as Other, but that’s another story...
Although *.mbox packages appear to be files in Mac OS X 10.3, they’re actually folders just like in Mac OS X 10.4, but Mac OS X 10.3 treats them differently because of the .mbox suffix. Ctrl-click on an *.mbox package and choose Show Package Contents from the contextual menu to see the files it contains.
For each mailbox, Mail 1.x stores all the messages in a single file in standard mbox format (the mbox file within the *.mbox folder/package), whereas Mail 2.x stores messages in individual *.emlx files within a Messages folder that Mail 1.x knows nothing about.
You need something like emlx to mbox Converter or Emailchemy to convert the *.emlx files to standard mbox format in order to be able to import them (as Other / Standard mbox) in Mail 1.x.

Can I return my new laptop to lenovo because of its quality problem?

IBM is one of the best brand as I know, especially showing us not only high quality of products but the service.
But now one thing happened to me, if I don't have this case I can't believe. I found there is something with the laptop(T61 Model 7658CTO) the same day when I got the new laptop on June 3rd, 2008. Then I call 800, a lot of 800 calls,at last I were told that I should contact send it back first if I were to get another new one. Three days later I got the box sent by Lenovo, and I return it back in terms of what the paper shown.
Unfortunately the problems of the laptop still exist when I turn on my laptop after it repaired. What's wrong with my laptop, this is new one, I think IBM should provide high quality products.
I don't know how to describe the weird sound , it sounds like two or more micphone opened clost to each other. It is very harsh.
I want to get one new laptop from Lenovo because of the quality of product and customer service or can I return the laptop?
I would appreciate any advice you can give me.

Like Obama says... yes you can
I did it last week because I bought an iPhone 4 as a wedding gift but then I changed my mind and wanted an iPad, so the bride could use it together with the groom (while the phone is personal).
I returned the iPhone to the apple store and I paid the difference to buy the 32GB iPad, no problems
I didn't opened the case, but the guy at the apple store told me I could have returned the phone even if it was opened. It must be undamaged tough.
