I'm sorry to say that the solution that you have in mind is not a possible one.
The only way to upgrade the graphics on your T60 would be to swap an entire motherboard.

Lenovo T60 video card problem

I have a T60 with 3GB Ram running Windows 7 (32bit) When watcing a video (on or offline) the display freezes or the frame rate slows to a crawl, this happens every few minutes. I also experience the same problem when playing a game on the machine.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to rectify this problem?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

It would probably be helpful if you identify which video card your system is equipped with and if this is a newly developed problem.

T420s Nvidia Graphics Card & Express Card Questions

Hello, and thank you for checking out my post. My apologies for writing a book, but I'm hoping to give as much detail as needed the first go round.
I just received my custom-built T420s (4170-CTO) and have a couple technical questions/concerns about it. The details of my configuration are located at the bottom of this post.
First off, one of the deciding factors of my purchase was the discrete graphics card. On the T420s I chose NVIDIA NVS 4200M Optimus Graphics 1GB, Intel Core i7-2620M Processor. I was thrilled to have more than 256 MB of dedicated graphics memory for my games. Upon receiving my laptop, though, I ran the Windows Experience Index and saw that the lowest score was the graphics card, which is identified as Intel HD Graphics Family and has 64 MB of dedicated graphics memory. After my heart started beating again I checked Device Manager and found under Display both Intel HD Graphics Family and NVIDIA NVS 4200M listed as working with up-to-date drivers. When I configured the laptop online there was no mention of hybrid graphics, so I'm not sure why I have an Intel Graphics card on the machine. My current laptop that I was looking to replace is a T61p with a NVIDIA Quadro FX 570M graphics card, and only that NVIDIA card is shown under Device Manager and in the Windows Experience / Performance Information. Thinking that perhaps disabling the Intel card would cause the NVIDIA card to take over, I disabled that through Device Manager. My screen went black and after feeling quite stupid I rebooted my computer. The default Windows Display driver kicked in, allowing me to see well enough to get back to Device Manager and enable the Intel Graphics. I counted myself lucky that I wasn't stuck with a working computer with a blank screen, but I'm still confused about why the NVIDIA card isn't the only display adapter on the machine, and why it isn't the default/main adapter. Most importantly, will it be usable to run my games?
My second question is regarding the PCI ExpressCard slot. My aim for this machine was to have a HDD to store my data (I selected the 320GB 7200 RPM HDD) and a SSD to boot and run my programs from. Another reason for choosing this machine was the comment on Lenovo's site stating that a user booted his T420s from a solid state drive in the PCI ExpressCard slot, which was exactly was I was looking for. I need the CD/DVD drive, so I can't put the second hard drive in a caddy. During configuration I chose the option for an Express Card Slot & 4 in 1 Card Reader & Smart Card Reader. From what I can tell, the Express Card slot is not connected to the Card Readers and I will not lose use of those ports. When I opened the computer up to install more RAM, I saw what is labeled in Lenovo's hardware manual as the Express Card slot, apparently empty - which is great! Now I need to figure out what kind of SSD to look for, and on that I'm kinda lost.
I'm guessing that my ExpressCard slot is 34mm and PCI form factor rather than USB... but I don't want to spend hundreds of dollars on a not-incredibly-educated guess. I'm also not sure where mSATA comes into play for me, if at all. Looking at SSDs on sites such as newegg.com, I'm unsure of what form factor to choose - ExpressCard, PCI-E, mSATA, and/or 1.8"?
The tech specs of my configured T420s (copy/pasted from the order status) are as follows. I hope this means more to you than it does to me.

Thanks!

The T420s with Nvidia GPU has two graphics card that can switch on the fly, if you only want the discrete gpu, just go into your bios menu under graphics there is an option to select discrete.
With the Nvidia Optimus (which is what you have), it can switch between Nvidia and Intel GPU depending on your application needs. This will allow you to conserve battery or power.
Expresscard slot 34 mm slot is occupied by the card reader that you ordered.
What you are talking about within the ram slot cover, is the mPCIe slot, which can be occupied by a mSATA drive.

Lenovo T60 (8744) stopped running

Dear Colleagues,
my Lenovo T60 (15.4 inch; type: 8744; mother board: 42T0167) stopped running.
When I power it on, this is what happens:
1) wireless and Caps lock indicators go on and off
2) hard drive spins; CD ROM clicks twice
3) power on, and AC power status indicators, stay on
4) Nothing happens next
I do not think it is a problem with the monitor, because the hard drive does not sound as if it is loading an operating system; and also the hard drive indicator is not turning on
The problem occurred shortly after I moved from Canada (120 V) to the UK (230V).
Is it a power supply circuit thing? Is it a mother board thing?
I would appreciate your suggestions.
Thank you very much!
Regards,
Tarasyk.

If you want to upgrade, the most powerful board that will work in this laptop is one with ATI FireGL graphics 5250, which would basically make your laptop a T60p model. I can get these boards for under $100, you can send me a pm if you'd like my help getting one. You could modify your system by installing a T61 board, but you'd also need a cpu, pc card assembly, frame modifications and I'm not sure if you'd have a problem with the fact that the t61 has a card reader integrated on the 15.4" models, plus the fact that the 15.4" intel boards are uncommon and most of the nVidia boards are at risk of failing from a well known gpu problem. I can get the boards with the updated gpu chips, but they are more costly compared to the T60 series boards.
I've checked my sources and there are currently no boards with x1400 graphics available, but when they are they generally go for about $60-70. Be very careful buying on ebay, many parts are pulled from badly abused laptops and I've been burned enough times that I only source parts from complete fully working laptops.

T400 & T500 Express Card Adapter Malfunction

I purchased an express card to compact flash adapter for use with my T400 running Windows 7. My machine will not recognize the express card or the compact flash and sometimes the machine will hang up when I insert the express card. I also tried the express card adapter in a T500 running Windows 7 with the same result. Has any one had this problem and how did you resolve it? I have looked for new drivers and haven't found any.

Re: Reading SDHC drives on the T400/T500.
Isn't there a separate slot specifically for SD drives right below the express card slot on your machine? If so, you don't need to use an express adapter to read the SDHC drive, just plug the SD drive. My T400 works fine when I use that slot with an SD drive. The laptop just doesn't recognize an express card. Since my Canon EOS 7 camera uses compact flash drives, I need to either use an express card adapter or a USB adapter. The USB to compact flash adapter works fine, but I hate to have a dongle hanging out of the computer that can break off. It would be so much better to use the express card adapter which mostly fits into the laptop.
Until Lenovo eliminated the PCMCIA slot, I used to use a PCMCIA adapter with a compact flash drive. This combination completely fit inside the laptop and funtioned well on these laptops: A21p, T40, and T60. But computer people can't ever leave things that work well alone. Now that I have the more advanced T400, I can't use the PCMCIA adapter and the express card adapter card doesn't work. PROGRESS.

USB/eSata express card not working on stock kernel

Hello everyone,
I have a weird problem and I don't seem to find any solution by myself. Let me give you some background info on what I plan to do.
I purchased an express card to eSata/USB 3.0 adapter and want to make it work on my laptops. Precisely, it is this card: http://www.amazon.de/Notebook-Express-C … B007F8TXZ8
1: Lenovo X200s (1,6GHz) running Ubuntu 14.04 amd64
2: Lenovo X200s (1,6GHz) running Debian 7 amd64
3: Lenovo X200T (1,6GHz) running ArchLinux amd64
The card does work fine only on the Ubuntu machine. I would like to make it run on the two other ones as well. I thought I might get help here getting it to work on machine 3 and then transfer the results to machine 2. What really matters to me is eSata, btw, I do not even have a USB 3.0 device to test with.
First of all, here's what happens when I plug the card into machine 1:

Apart from the supposedly found block device (can't judge) I am not sure if there is anything that is really eSata specific and not USB 3.0 related.
So far what I think I can tell from the output is that the modules
pciehp pci pcieport
seem to be dealing with the express card as such whereas
xhci_hcd
takes care of USB 3.0. I cannot see any clear reference to the eSata connector, which might not be surprising if the bus is just passed through (again: not sure).

Sticking to my suspicion that this might just be a USB related issue and eSata might still work due to some sort of passthrough, I attached the very eSata drive that I could mount on Ubuntu. It did not work.
I then researched and found this blog post: http://okomestudio.net/biboroku/?p=1360
So I downloaded the pkgbuild for the arch linux core kernel and checked the config. It matched the recommendations.
Another hint I found was to unload acpiphp and force-reload it. However, this tip does not seem to apply to the arch kernel:
[user@3-arch:~$ sudo rmmod acpiphp
rmmod: ERROR: Module acpiphp is builtin.
Anyone any idea on how to make the card work?
Thank you!

R61i USB 3.0, 54mm EXPRESS CARD adapter

Hi there again.
After doing all the possible upgrades on my laptop ThinkPad R61i TYPE 7650-D7G 15.4in,
I have this problem with the Express Card slot.
I've bought this 54mm USB 3.0 express card but when I stick it into the slot it doesn't seem to fit. It just gets into the slot without "locking" anywhere.
So my question is this. Is there something wrong with my card (new buy) or doesn't my laptop accept such a card?
Is it just a CardBus slot? And if so, is there a way (adapter, hardware) to use my USB 3.0 Express Card?
Here's a photo of the card I bought. This cable came with the Express Card. Don't really know what it's for... It seems that one end goes into the slot between the Card's 2 usb slots.
Link to image
Thanx a lot.
just found this... would this work or won't i get the actual usb 3.0 speed?

Moderator comment: Image(s) >50KB converted to link(s). Community Rules.

To answer the question in your first post, the USB cable that came with the ExpressCard was for power. The other end would have connected to one of your laptop's existing USB ports. You would've used that for certain devices which required more power, in which case you would've only gained 1 USB 3.0 port, not 2
The picture of your laptop (with the "O" on the eject button) means you definitely have a CardBus PC Card slot, not an ExpressCard slot. You won't be able to use that ExpressCard. PC Card, also referred to as PCMCIA card, is an older, slower technology. As you now realize, a 68-pin Cardbus PC card will fit that slot. If your objective is to gain extra USB ports, your best bet is to return that ExpressCard and search for "usb pc card" online. There are PC Cards which provide 2 USB ports or even 4 USB ports. However, you will be limited to USB 2.0 speeds. Yes, you could use a CardBus-to-ExpressCard Adapter but, once again, you will be limited to USB 2.0 speeds. (Also note the one you link to in your first post converts PC Card to ExpressCard/34 only). An even more inexpensive solution may be a "USB port hub."

Lenovo T60 Black SCREEN

Hello!
A problem I turn to you, you have a 2007 (?) Lenovo T60 notebook om, but nowadays anything doing that when I play a game (in this case, GTA SA) then after an add about five minutes, the monitor goes blank and you have to restart the machine. In this case, in principle, the GPU temperature goes up to a maximum of 75 to 80 degrees. However, when he did not go to cooling (no) then was relieved that the GPU is 90-98 degrees and not turned off.
Currently I'm using Windwos XP operating system.
Thank you in advance for your answers and your help!

S series express card.

Hello everyone.
I'm just trying to get an idea of what everyone uses the express card slot on their machine for (if it has one).
I personally use a Yoggie Gatekeeper card pro, which I find EXTREMELY useful and powerful. If you don't know it is a hardware based security suite. I've had my S12 since July and have had zero security or virus issues at all.
But just post a reply if you have found any other express card.products or know of any future products that would be useful.
Thanks all.

I have a Lenovo IdeaPad S10 since March of 2009 and I use it more than I use the (15.4") Lenovo IdeaPad Y510 that I also have. I came across a handy "Lexar 16 GB Express Card SSD" ( http://www.lexar.com/ssd/expresscard.html ) that comes in handy while using my S10, as the model that I bought only came with an 80 GB hard drive. I'm sure that there are other companies that make a similar express card ( Google it ). Hope this info helps!

Search express card TV tuner

Hello,
I search to buy an express card TV tuner for my laptop. It's a Lenovo 3000 N500 4233 47G.
Can anybody give me a good tip ?

Does your laptop have an ExpressCard 54/34 or only an ExpressCard 34 slot?
If your laptop supports both 54 and 34 cards, you can buy an HP Analog TV Tuner. This is what I have for my IdeaPad Y530. It has some lag when TV on the laptop, but from what I'm hearing, a great deal of tv tuners do this.

Which Thinkpads have TRUE Express Card 2.0 Support?

I've called sales and Tech Support at Lenovo and no one can tell which laptops have Express card 2.0 support. I want to plug in a USB 3.0 adaptor and have 5Gb/S bandwidth on Win 7. Anyone know the answer? If I can avoid buying an X220 or T420S with USB3.0 already in it, it will save several hundred dollars.

Aren't all of the Sandy bridge based machines 2.0? For that matter, doesn't ExpressCard 2.0 support go back several generations in the ThinkPad line?
I have http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0053YLZ2A on order. I plan to try it first in a ThinkPad T61p to see how it works there. I should know something by around 1/20.

Does T61p can work with any USB3.0 Express Card?

Does T61p can work with any USB3.0 Express Card?
For example AKA BC398 with chip NEC 700200?
Or any other?

i don't think many people have tested these cards, theortically it should support them, but not at the full speed. Since the ExpressCard slot is 1.0 standard.

Express Card 34 Boot Drive?

I have been hearing about these new ssd's incredible performance and looked into getting one. only problem is if you want a decent capacity, you pay hundreds. So I was wondering, could you get like a 32gb flash memory express card 34 and use it as a boot drive and use your original hdd for storage? If so that would be great. Does anyone know?

John-F,
What do you mean you tried to update the OS while the drive was in the Express Card Slot and the update appears to have completed? Which update specifically? Also, the OS update doesn't help you when you're trying to boot from it because it's not recognized in the BIOS; at least my BIOS. I have a Lenovo U110 and was able to clone the OEM drive after using Paragon Partition Manager Magic 9.0 and Drive Clone. Unfortunately my OEM drive are bigger than my SSD, therefore I had to move all the files off my OEM drive except for the Windows 7 install which brought the OEM size below the size of the ExpressCard SSD. Once I did that, I could successfully clone the OEM drive. However, upon boot up to the new SSD cloned drive, it failed on the boot manager missing bootmgr files. I also have a RunCore SSD that's a 64GB 1.8" PATA Zif that just arrived Friday and I've been trying to get it to work as well. Neither drive says Windows can be installed to each respective disk because "the computer's hardware may not support booting to this disk". I don't believe this is a BIOS issue because there isn't a BIOS update to the U110 so I'm not sure how cloning the drive helps in this situation because if it can't be recognized during a Windows install, how's it going to be recognized post clone and first boot up? That just doesn't make sense to me, but I've seen stranger things happen with technology.
Any ideas here? My end goal is to use the RunCore SSD 1.8" Zif as my primary drive, and the 48GB FileMate SolidGO ExpressCard Ultra SSD as a secondary mainly Read drive so that I can maintain the 115MB/sec throughput as much as possible.
Thanks in advance,
Jason Volpe

ESATA express card does not work with Mavericks. Any suggestions?

This is an Apiotek II 300 Express Adapter. I went out to Apiotek.com and it appears the domain is for sale. Is there any way to get a software update or do I have to buy a new Express Card that allows eSATA drives to work with Mavericks. I did a backup before I upgraded using X 10.7.5 and everything worked fine. The eSATA drive is not seen using Disk Utility either.
Thanks for any help or suggestions.

The driver has to come from the manufacturer of the card, so your two options are to get another card or to use your full backup to go back to 10.7.5. That assumes it's a clone backup and not Time Machine.
