I don't know what your stock drive is, and what the pins might be.
Lacking that here's some idle speculation:
Those pins aren't power pins. They may be for jumpers that can force the SATA mode. Or something. Their absence on your new drive should not be a problem.
It's general practice with StinkPads to clone with the source drive in the external enclosure, and the target in the laptop. Otherwise problems ensue. I don't have personal experience.
[edit] Well, sort of. I do this by saving an Acronis backup image to an external HD (not a bad idea generally, IMNSHO) then restoring that to a new drive installed in the laptop.
Maybe reverse your setup and try again?

What exactly is in my Lenovo T400

I have a problem. I want to upgrade my Lenovo T400 2768-BQ4 to a WiMAX and a Wireless USB. I want to know everything else about my specific computer too. Can you help me here?

Hello and welcome,
You may find this interesting/helpful: SUPPORT -> Quick Path "2768-BQ4":
Based 2768-12U: T9400(2.53GHz), 4GB RAM, 160GB 7200rpm HD, 14.1in 1440x900 LCD, 128MB ATI Radeon HD3470, CDRW/DVDRW, Intel 802.11agn wireless, Bluetooth, Modem, 1GB Ether, UltraNav, Sec Chip, FPR, 9c Li-Ion, WinXP Pro
Then to Technical Specifications - PSREF on the right, withdrawn products, http://www.lenovo.com/psref/pdf/ltwbook.pdf for more details [edit] I don't see "BQ4" listed
Back to the product page, Guides and Manuals on the right for the Hardware Maintenance Manual: http://download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/mobiles_pdf/43y6629_05.pdf
Among other things the HMM lists the cards that will pass the BIOS whitelist (that will prevent booting if a card isn't listed) and the required FRU numbers. A card must be of the right model (for example Intel WiMAX/WiFi Link 5350) and have the Lenovo FRU (43Y6533 for this example). Please note that I'm reading this from the manual - I have no way to personally verify these numbers. I don't know if your existing antenna assembly will work with this or other wimax cards. Please do your homework

Lenovo T400 type 6475 Problems installing windows 7 64bit

Hello everybody,
I have a Lenovo T400 and a few day's ago i tried to reinstall my windows 7 from my dvd and everything went nice and smooth till it reached the last reboot before the time/zone settings and the username there it remained in the win 7 logo and it stud there for about 15min before it moved on to the next step. I can't take this i tried with another hard drive i changed cd's but nothing worked. I reinstalled a Win XP x86 it installed fine.
My laptop has a P8600 cpu, 6Gb Ram 1066, 500Gb Seagate 5400rpm, Dvd-rw,
Please help me.

hey costin83,
the Win 7 cd was it made through Rescue & Recovery or did you buy it on your own ?
the T400 of yours, did it come with Win 7 or with Win XP ?
If the Win7 cd is your own; try it on a a different computer and see if it works. It could be that the cd itself is damaged.

Lenovo T400 missing "discrete graphics" in Bios

Hello guys, i'm new in the lenovo users community!
i just bought from a friend a lenovo t400 that has installed in it the OS windows XP... and i was reading in forums and other places that this lenovo has a switchable graphic card. for another one that is the ATI 3450 i think..
I know that the windows Vista has the capability of making the switch very easily. but now im working in a company with my laptop and cant install this OS.
i've read that i can do it via BIOS, but when i go BIOS > Config > Display .. i only see 2 options... select the port (internal / PCI Express) and the Monitor thing (Thinkpad, digital, etc)..
I've seen in forums that there are another 2 choices (for discrete graphics and OS detection) but those seems to be missing in the Bios...
What do i need to do?
What can i do?
I want to use this other graphic card... Can anyone Help?
Thanks a lot

Your laptop may not have the switchable graphics option installed. Check to see what is in your system through Lenovo.com/support/warnty-look.
Some units did not ship with switchable graphics option.

Lenovo t400 hinge and frame

Hi. Hope this isn't too dumb a question but I have a lenovo t400 laptop that was dropped and it now needs one hinge and front and back screen casing. Evenrything else is fine. I am having problems finding somewhere to order the parts. Any suggestions? Thanks for any input you can give us.

Welcome to the Forum!
I can help you with this. I have a T400 LCD front bezel and LCD top cover both in excellent shape, as well as Left and Right hinges available. Hinges are tight. Much safer to buy from a trusted Forum member who knows Thinkpads inside out than take a chance on Ebay where they may send you the wrong parts, broken parts, or never send your merchandise at all. (I'm speaking from experience, unfortunately).
I also have Brand New genuine Lenovo 9-cell and 6-cell T400 batteries, MINT (like-new) keyboards, AC adapters and Brand NEW entire WXGA+ T400 LCD assembly with webcam. Anyone in need of assistance may contact me by clicking my name on the left.
I have sent you a PM about the T400 screen casing. Check your 'New' messages at the top of this page
Have a great day. (I do not work for Lenovo)

How to upgrade a Lenovo T400

Hi,
I currently own Lenovo T400. Though I'm not that satisfied with its performance in terms of speed and all. I was wondering what exactly do I have to upgrade if I want it to perform faster. Is it the processor?
My current system -
Processor: Intel core Duo CPU T400 @ 2.53GHz 2.53GHz
Installed Memory (RAM) : 4GB

So you only have an issue with this one program?
What type of machine are the other users running the program on?
Random lockups could be one of many different things. The first thing I would suspect would be a conflict with an anti-virus program, as it looks like you have sufficient RAM. Next thing I would suspect would be some kind of driver issue.
When asking for help, post your question in the forum. Remember to include your system type, model number and OS. Do not post your serial number.

Problem 1/2 with lenovo T400s = strange sound

Hello,
my new lenovo T400s works quite fine. But two things are getting on my nerves!
The first problem is a very strange sound. It's not very loud but its a very aggravating sound! In some forum posts people explained the reason of the strange noise is caused by the switching between the c2 and c4 processor state. So I tried the kernel option
processor.max_cstate=2
But the sound is still there.
I would be very very glad if someone could help me. Every hint is very welcome.
tia and greetings,
Oli

Lenovo T400, slow!!!

Hello every one and happy new year..
I bough the Lenovo T400 4 months ago (October 2008) and I’m on VISTA Business. Although
I have 3GB of RAM and 2*2.8GHz CPU my PC is very slow and has loads of
problems. The Think Vantage Wi-Fi program is messing up the Microsoft one,
Firefox stops responding many times and when I tried to install Linux
ubuntu I couldn’t because of a graphic fault(card: ATI HD 3400 series).
Any help??
Thanks

From my experience with T or X Thinkpads: stick to ThinkVantage Access Connection instead of Microsoft one, or u can remove Access Connection if you don't like it. If you can afford the trouble (u seem to be wiping out the hard drive for OS reinstall anyway), recover the factory setup from Rescue*&Recovery. After that, you should see a reasonably working machine (like factory software setting). Otherwise, you would seriously need to locate what is wrong (or even send it to Lenovo for maintanence). With the software, particularly OS, messed up, it's very hard to identify the problem. Hope it helps.

Lenovo T400 Wireless Conncetion Problem!

Hi, I have a Lenovo T400 Laptop. Recently, I got some problems in connecting to wireless networks. My laptop can find available wireless networks. I can see "Access Connections" menu with available networks. When I click on "Connect" to access a network, a menu bar appears showing that WIFI is trying to connect to the network. However, after a couple of minutes the connection fails in "waiting for IP configuration" step. I tried it with different networks and got the same problem. I would be very grateful if someone can help me about this problem. Regards, Ali

Okay, that sounds like a faulty intel wireless card, i had couple of them doing that. Do you have warranty remaining?

How do I use my lenovo T400 as a second monitor for my tower PC?

I have a docking station with DVI and I connected my tower with the laptop via the DVI cable. How do I go on?

so you have the lenovo t400 on the docking station and connecting the tower to the docking station via dvi?
i think the dvi on the docking station is only dvi out not in which means the laptop screen can not be used as a second screen.
hopefully i got it right

ATI HD3400 in Lenovo T400: xf86-video-ati from testing docking issues

Hi everyone,
I have a Lenovo T400 which I exclusively use with the discrete ATI HD3400 graphics chip because I need the DVI output from my Lenovo Advanced Mini Dock to drive a large display. When I recently updated to xf86-video-ati 6.9.0.91-1 (from testing), everytime I start X and the laptop is in the dock, all that happens is that the whole internal screen shows one full-screen color, cycling white->red->green->blue->grey->vertical black/white gradient->horizontal black/white gradient, and the external DVI display is ignored. The internal display is fine when I start X in the undocked state, until I put it into the dock and enable the DVI-out via xrandr (VGA-out seems to work fine, curiously).
6.9.0-6 (from extra) shows no problems. Pity this happens right now that one can expect more from the open-source drivers due to AMD's publication of the hardware spec...
Has anyone encountered a similar problem or knows where to file a bug most appropriately?
Thanks in advance,
S.

R00KIE wrote:Why don't you try the ATI binary drivers? Sure they aren't what we all would want them to be but at the current time they have support for more things than the open source drivers.
Do they support xrandr 1.2 now for using multiple displays easily? Last time I played around with them (in October) this was still a pain and ugly hacks were necessary to get multi-head to work. Otherwise I would have switched long before.

Lenovo T400 (4500MHD): Xorg 7.4, xf86-video-intel-2.4.3 upgrade

hi!
I would like to ask you if anyone with an lenovo t400 has done a successful upgrade to xorg 7.4 with xf86-video-intel-2.4.3 and intel-dri-7.2-1. I'm still using xf86-video-intel-2.3.2-1 and intel-dri-7.0.3-1, though I'm not completely satisfied with it (sometimes X does not start, suspend doesn't work anymore).
I've read a lot about upgrading troubles and I would really appreciate sharing your experience.
thanks in advance,
woifi

woifi,
I have the same machine and the upgrade to Xorg and xf86-video-intel make my machine not able to come back from a suspend/hibernate. The screen comes back, but everything is frozen. I have been able, however, to use the "vesa" driver in Xorg and get suspend/hibernate to work then. I can't use Compiz then, but I would rather have suspend than Compiz at this point. I'm hoping that the novelty of this machine and the Intel GMA 4500HD are causing the wrinkles in the drivers.

27" iMac as monitor for Lenovo T400 laptop (VGA out)

I thought I read that it would be possible to use the iMac as an external display. I bought a cheap cable that is Mini-DisplayPort (M) to VGA (F), and I also bought a VGA cable (M-M). I plugged the cables into each other, then into the iMac, then into the Lenovo T400 laptop I have to use for work.
The iMac didn't react at first, then, when I pressed cmd-F2, the display on the iMac changed resolutions to something like 640x480, but was still displaying the Mac. I looked at the Display control panel on the Lenovo and it could see that a monitor was plugged in, and could see what size/resolution it was. However, even when I clicked "extend desktop onto this display", it still didn't display anything from the PC onto the iMac screen.
All went back to normal when I unplugged the cables.
Thoughts?
Sure, it could be the cable(s), but I was intrigued that the Windows Display Control Panel could see that there was a monitor there.

I read that. It says, among other things "using a Mini DisplayPort to Mini DisplayPort cable or using a converter that converts other electrical, video, and audio protocols from another source device to Mini DisplayPort compliant signals. (Cables and converters available separately.)"
A 'simple' VGA to Mini DisplayPort adapter is not sufficient to provide "+Mini DisplayPort compliant signals+" as mentioned in that article.
For that you would need an Analog-To-Digital converter and those are ranging in about USD 200 or more.
Are you saying that the Mini DisplayPort adaptors that go from Mini DisplayPort to VGA, which I bought, only go from Mac to VGA monitor, rather than in both directions?
Yes, that's exactly the point (see above).
Sorry
