Hello,
I have seen otherwise operational computers running Microsoft Windows Vista fail to boot when the mode for the SATA interface is changed.
Prior to booting into Microsoft Windows Vista on the ThinkPad T61, try entering the BIOS setup screen and toggling the SATA interface from AHCI to Legacy (or vice-versa), saving the settings and then booting up into Windows. Does this make any difference?

No connection with Thinkpad T61 and iwl4965

Hi everybody!
I recently updated the kernel on my laptop to version 2.6.25. Since than my wireless device acts strange. I can connect to my wireless network but I cannot transmit or receive any data. I checked with netcfg2 and with knetworkmanager, both had the same results. I also checked it with and without the compat-wireless package installed. I also checked the 2.6.25-tp kernel from AUR but the results are the same. I can connect the network but it won't work.
I'm using a totally fresh installation of Arch64 on my thinkpad and it started acting that way right from the beginning. With the previous installation and the 2.6.24 Kernel running everything was fine and worked flawless.
Does anyone have an idea how I can get my wireless device back to work? I really need to be connected through wireless at my workplace!
Thanks a lot!

Does really nobody else has this problem?
I checked with an kunbuntu live cd that contained knetworkmanager and the previous kernel and with that one it worked out of the box again. So there must be something wrong with the kernel I guess....
Does nobody have an idea how I could at least find out?
I checked the /etc/resolv.conf and it had the right entry and I also have a valid IP address. But when I want to ping my router all I get is "Destination host unreachable"...
Maybe somebody can help! The problem is the same also with the recent 2.6.25.4 Kernel....

Thinkpad T61 kernel panics

I'm having some trouble with random kernel panics on a thinkpad T61. Sometimes they occur just after boot yet other times I can be using my laptop for hours with absolutely no problems before it decides to panic. I've attached a picture of the error message I get and the output of some commands I thought would be relevant.

Sorry to ressurect an old thread, but recently I've been getting random kernel panics on my t61 as well. I believe the root cause is the wireless card. I have an intel 4965 card just like you.

Thinkpad T61 reports in-correct EDID data to Xorg

Thinkpad T61 with Quadro NVS 140M reports in-correct EDID data . Primary issues is that I want to switch to "1024x768" resolution which is well supported for LCD projectors. But currently with default setting nvidia driver it gives only the following resolutions. Is there any BIOS update for this ??

Where can I purchase a Thinkpad T61 fan replacement?

Where can I purchase a Thinkpad T61 fan replacement? I've looked all over the Lenovo site, and I can only find the part number referenced, not a location to purchase it.
When I opened up my Thinkpad, on the fan, it said:
Lenovo P/N 42W2461
FRU P/N 42W2460
Has anyone here ever tried other merchants with success (eBay, etc.)?
(I'm out of warranty, and the fan gets noisy when hot, unlike when it was new, and I sometimes get "Fan Error" on bootup at the BIOS.)
Solved!

Hello,
According to this page on IBM's web site, you can call IBM Parts Help at +1 (877) 719-0841.
I believe this office is located in Boulder, Colorado, which means they will probably keep Mountain Time Zone [GMT-7] office hours.

Booting thinkpad t61 without a keyboard

I'm having the following problem with my Thinkpad T61.
Every few minutes the computer starts behaving as if a few keys on the keyboard are pressed. The keys are no physically stuck, the system just behaves as if they are. This happens sometimes for no apparent reason, but I can always make it happen by pressing any kye on the bottom right side of the keyboard.
I've concluded that the keyboard is faulty and ordered a new one.
In the meanwhile, I'm trying to use my laptop with an external (USB) keyboard. This doesn't quite solve the problem, b/c the laptop still allows input from the internal keyboard, so it still messes up too frequently. I've tried disabling the keyboard, but the Device Manager doesn't seem to allow me to do that. I thought of physically removing the keyboard, but then I don't have a Power button!
Does anyone have an idea for me for how to use my laptop until the replacement keyboard arrives?
Is there a way to boot the computer without a keyboard connected?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

How about unhooking the keyboard cable and taping the end so it doesn't make contact with anything on the board and leave the keyboard on so you still have the power button.

What drivers do I need to reinstall different OS and where can I download them for ThinkPads T61?

I just accidentally purchased one ThinkPads T61 with Linux OS version. I don't use Linux so I plan to wipe out Linux and install Windows XP Pro instead. I have the Windows OS, but as I know I will need to install some drivers afterward to make the notebook work properly.
My question would be: How many and what drivers do I need to reinstall different OS and where can I download them?
Thank you for your help!

What 2.5" SSDs are compatible with ThinkPads?

I just purchased a Crucial M500 240GB SSD to upgrade my T420 and after installation and reboot I get the dreaded "2100: Detection error on HDD0 (Main HDD)" error. After Googling it seems that this is a common problem with ThinkPads and various SSD's it also appears that there is no known solution other than changingt to another drive.
I would like to think that there are some SSDs that don't cause this error and are safe to purchase knowing that THEY WILL work in the ThinkPad models. Is there such a list of compatible SSD drives? Sure I can return the M500 and try an Intel or Samsung but would these drives also be susceptible to the problem?
Hoping I will be able to use my fantastic T420 with an SSD in the future. In the meantime I will be installing using a spinning Seagate HDD.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions

Hi,
I run a Crucial M4 mSATA SSD in my T420. Does your SSD throw that error consistently? IIRC my SSD did that too after a firmware update. Crucial explained that they do some internal housekeeping that can make them slow to initialize for a couple of power cycles. Mine did it once or twice and never again.
Have you checked for firmware updates for the SSD? I can't guaranted that you don't have a compatibility issue but there may be other explanations.

Sporadic reboots of a Thinkpad T61

Hello,
we have a Lenovo Thinkpad T61 that reboots itself every few days without providing any information in the logs about the reason for this behaviour.
I ran the Lenovo pc-doctor and got a failed result for the nvidia gpu with the error code 7082. Could you please help me with the meaning of this error code? Is there a list where I can find out what this error code stands for?
Best Regards,
Matthias

reboot with no message might be overheating. cleaning the fan and replacing thermal paste is cheap and certainly won't hurt anything.

Problems connecting on Wireless 802.11n with my T61 with Intel Wireless AGN

Hi, I live in Thailand and have a similar problem as others with my Intel Wireless AGN connection as others. I have a D-Link Model DSL-2740B Rangebooster N ADSL2/2+ Modem Router. It is supposed to support 802.11n draft wireless connections of up to a maximum of 270 MBPS versus 54 MBPS for 802-11G wireless. Of course, I don't expect it to reach the maximum transfer speed, particularly here in Thaiand, however I would expect it to produce results better than the 54 MBPS rate for 802-11G. I first tried it on my ThinkPad T61 which incorporates Intel® Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN. When connected, it shows a speed of 54MBPS (802-11G) instead of higher wireless 802-11n speeds. I've upgraded my router to the latest firmware and have tried different configurations with no improvement in performance. One think I have noted is that when I make an on-line configuration change to my router configuration then select "apply", immediately my ThinkPad rate changes to 150 MBPS momentarily then my connection is lost (to be expected as the router changes are being implemented), followed by reconnection of wireless signal only to return at 54 MBPS again. I also have an older ThinkPad model without built-in wireless capability so I purchased a Belkin wireless 802.11n USB adapter to connect to my router. Again, the maximum connection is at 54 MBPS. When I repeat configuration changes to my router as I did above, my ThinkPad connection momentarily changes to only 1 MBPS instead of 150 MBPS as in my other T61 ThinkPad then reverts back to 54 MBPS once the configuration changes have been completed. Has anyone successfully used wireless 802.11n successfully at the higher transfer rates (above 54 MBPS)? Is it possible that my TOT Goldcyber connection speed is artificially limited? I notice that my rated speed for my desktop computer connected to my same D-Link DSL-2740B only indicates a rated speed of 100 MBPS. I use Vista Home Premium 64-bit on my destop, Vista Home Premium 32-bit on my ThinkPad T61, but us Windows XP Professional on my older ThinkPad. I feel that my problem is either with my ADSL carrier (TOT) or compatibility with my D-Link DSL-2740B Modem Router and my ThinkPad T61 internal wireless card and/or Belkin wireless n USB adapter. IT-City is letting me swap out the Belkin USB for the D-Link Rangebooster n DWA-140 USB adapter next week when they restock. The only other think that I can think of is that wireless n just doesn't work in Thailand and that maybe I should just stick with wireless G and go with a higher powered wireless USB model such as the business rated EmGenius EUB 362 EXT. Has anyone used this model and had good success with it; I've heard that it is a long range model and has the capability of reaching 108 MBPS through some sort of magic? Looking forward to reading your replies and possible solution.

Hi!
Intel Wi-Fi cards support full 802.11n speed of 300 Mb/s working at 5 GHz range only. Your D-Link DSL-2740B works only in 2.4 GHz range. So to get 300 Mb/s you have to get another wi-fi router that supports 802.11n in both 2.4 and 5 GHz, for instance Lynksys WRT610N or Apple Airport Extreme or whatever.

Slot-in DVD for Thinkpad T61

(First of all sorry for my english. Hope you understand me)
I'm looking for a slot-in DVD drive for my Thinkpad T61.
I live in Hungary and I've found only two affordable options. Get a Samsung slim slot-in drive or a MacBook's SuperDrive (maybe Panasonic or LG). I still have my guarantee so if I buy one of them; can the service "fit in" to my Thinkpad? I mean, I have to buy a special "only for Thinkpad" DVD drive or one of these also good?

Well there are over 500 different slim-line and super-slimline DVD drives on the market, some of them with special firmware versions and some of those drives are build as slot-in drive versions. Even most of the sizes (12,7x129x128 mm) and connectors (JAE 50 pin) are to 98% equal, there still some differences and things to take into account.
The overall problem with a slot-in DVD drive will be to find a suitable front-panel for a Thinkpad T61:

As you can see, beside maybe some possible firmware version conflicts, the main common problem for you with a Thinkpad T61 will be, to find a suitable front-panel for a third-party slot-in slim-line drive here! - BTW, I have a Samsung slim-line slot-in drive, which I use as a secondary external USB/Firewire drive when I travel. The front-panel which is supplied with the Samsung slot-in drive will not adhoc fit for a Thinkpad T61!

Boot usb dont work to recover dead bios on lenovo t500

cant recover my dead bios on t500.too bad im in zimbabwe there is no ibm lenovo companies for help.i jus get back to use my dinosaur desktop.

I'll start by asking if you get the Thinkpad image on the screen when you power on the system?
USB functions are provided by the BIOS, without a functional BIOS, there is no functional USB. In the case of BIOS corruption where the machine becomes unusable there is little answer other then finding an Lenovo repair center. However before I considered it dead I would try resetting the CMOS and see if that helps, The HMM http://download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/mobiles_pdf/43y6630_04.pdf will show you how to take the unit apart to gain access to the battery, it is located under the keyboard. Make sure you have the AC, and battery removed when you do this. Best of luck, hopefully you don't have a completely dead system.

Satellite A500-1DN (PSAR3E) - Dead BIOS after flashing

Hi all.
At first, sorry for my english.
My problem is simple I have a dead bios after flashing from toshiba service station (or something like that).
How does it happened? :4 days ago it was asking me for update. It was for me totaly normal because it is asking for some updates every day. I enablished that update and after some cliks on button next I noticed that it was BIOS update and it was nearly at half. I wanted to wait to end (because i know if I stop bios uptade I end up with dead bios(corrupted bios)) but it stoped nearly at end and it showed me some errors. After that my laptop made a restart and i could not stop it. It turned off.
Now if i push power button i get black screen (like it is turned off) som leds lights and Cpu fan at 10% maybe.
What i did 3 last days? : I searched all the interned about what to do with it. I tried maybe 10 types off crisdisks with usb and CD(with floppy not becose Bios for my laptop is too big for 1 floopy).
I tried to boot with FN+B it worked for me CD drive started to search for CD, USB drive showed activity but to dead end happened nothing. I tried to make Boot usb with newer minidos.sys and phlash16.exe. I tried to combinate it but still nothing.
I tried all what i found on forums everywhere on internet. nothing helped.
Another thing is that only one bios i found was 1.90. If somebody has a older bios for my laptop pls give me link. I am losing hope becose i cant find anithing on google.
I am a advenced user I did nearly everithing with pc but i never worked with dead bios.
Pls help me somebody and give me a correct crisdisk for my model. Or different sugestion.

hi,
sorry, mate but you should contact the Asp http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/generic/ASP_SUPPORT/
Unfortunately, the warranty doesn't cover bios failure and you will have to pay about 50-60 Us dollars (Anyway, it costs like this in my service center)

Toshiba Satellite A300-129 Crisis Recovery Mode Phoenix BIOS with USB drive

When flashing my BIOS back from v4.20 to a v3.90 I found on the net, everything went alright in windows, but as soon as I rebooted, the laptop showed the symptoms of a failed BIOS.
I'm now trying to repair the BIOS using the crisis recovery tool. I used the following procedure to create the USB stick and recover the BIOS
-Run the WINCRIS.Exe file in administrator and compatibility mode (Windows XP SP2)
-Select the USB drive (1GB Kingston), and format it with the tool
-Reinsert the drive and format again with the tool without restarting it to be sure that the disk is properly formatted
-Take the BL5S3D57.WPH file from the toshiba BIOS update and rename it to BIOS.WPH, and copy to the Crisdisk directory
-Copy the files BIOS.WPH (the one from toshiba I renamed), minidos.sys and winphlash16.exe to the drive in windows
-Take the drive out
-Plug battery out, plug AC out of laptop, hold the power button for a few seconds to make sure no remaining current is in the laptop
-Plug the USB Drive in
-Hold Fn+Esc in my case, this is the key combination where the laptop tries to read the USB drive the moment it boots up. It has something to do with enabling a boot block in the BIOS with that key combination.
-Plug AC in while still holding the F button
The F button does not nescessarily need to be held while plugging in AC, the laptop also tries to read from the drive if I hold it after plugging AC in, and before pushing the power button.
-Press the power button
I need to push the button twice, because the first time after plugging in AC the power button doesn't do a thing. When holding the power button for around 10 seconds after right after plugging AC in, the laptop boots sometimes, didn't find a pattern yet here.
The easy thing however is to just push the button 2 or 3 times, then it boots, and the booting procedure seems exactly the same as when holding the power button
-Wait for the LED to flash on the USB Drive. Very important: it seems to only flash ONCE for me, so it means it tries to access the drive, but I think it doesn't contain the right files or isn't formatted correctly. If I keep holding the F button while the laptop is on, the LED flashes once every 10-20 seconds.
From here on out the laptop is supposed to be reading the BIOS files from the USB drive, but apparently I'm doing something wrong. So here comes my question:
What could I be doing wrong in formatting the drive or writing the files to it?
Do I have the wrong CRISDISK? Is it normal that the files arent copied by CRISDISK to the USB Drive and that I have to do it myself?
Am I using the wrong WinPhlash? Or should I use the files that are supplied in the official BIOS rar from toshiba?
I have tried different versions of CRISDISK, different USB Drives (one 4GB would not be read by the broken laptop, and another 1GB would not be read by CRISDISK when trying to format the drive)
Tried different files on the USB Drive, tried bios.wph instead of capitals, tried BIOS.FD,...
I'm kind of running out of options here to try. Is there anyone who has experience with this recovery mode flashing that could tell me what I might be doing wrong? Or that has any suggestions on which other CRISDISK or toshiba updates to use?
Thanks anyways to people who read this and try to help!

I hope that Russian service provider will be as honest as the European one and won't solder something out as a souvenir :)
They said, it will take approximately a week.
Serviceman said that L30 has no built-in crisis recovery routine.
So I wasted money by buying an USB floppy disk drive and risked to burn something in my laptop by frequent powering it on and off (and may be burnt, will see).
The lesson I learnt is never flash BIOS if everything works and if even flash then not from Windows (btw. I flashed successfully my Satellite A300 from Windows without any problems).
Phoenix makes its BIOSes since 2001 with a crisis recovery boot block, but Toshiba locks this feature in many laptops, I think, not without a reason. Service providers want money too :)
