Lenovo Thinkpad T61p EVDO

I have a Lenovo Thinkpad T61p 6459-CTO and i didnt get EVDO (TELUS) built in with it, but i am wondering if it is a "extra" if I pay to get installed or something totally different? --

Dude,
I was having the same problem. You can get it to work if you go into the TCP/IP properties for your wireless connection and hard code the IP, DNS, and WINS addresses instead of letting the computer automaticall resolve them. You can get them by logging into the Verizon modem via the hardwired computer. Once you do that it works great. Also, this on;y seems to happen with my Lenovo R61 computer. All of my other computers connect fine.

VeriFace on ThinkPad T61p?

При установке VeriFace на Lenovo ThinkPad Т61p появляется сообщение - Разработано только для Компании Lenovo (http://www.eos.com.ua/eos/images/VeriFace.jpg). Инсталляция софта не идет. И что делать? Может у кого-то есть не пакетная инсталляция EXE, а RAR или ZIP компиляция. Может VeriFace не предназначен для ThinkPad Т61p?
When installing VeriFace message appears on Lenovo ThinkPad T61p - is Designed only for Company Lenovo (http://www.eos.com.ua/eos/images/VeriFace.jpg). The Installation soft does not go. And that to do? Can someone has no packet installation EXE, but RAR or ZIP compiling. Can VeriFace is not intended for ThinkPad T61p?

If some people in the NBR forum got it managed to install and use the VeriFace software for their Thinkpads, you may want to ask them in that forum thread, how they got it managed to install the software. Further if somebody there succeeded to use it correctly (?) on a T61p, he can probably give you some hints into the right directions.

New to forum and opinions on the Lenovo T420 being my first Lenovo Thinkpad?

First off thanks for letting me join. Just wanted to get some opinions from some of the more experienced Lenovo owners and users. I want to pick up the T420 as my first Lenovo Thinkpad. What is the overall verdict on this laptop (Good build quality, reliability issues, or anything else I should be aware of)? I use to own a IBM Thinkpad and just missed the overall layout of the Thinkpad specific look and functionality. To date, the IBM Thinkpad has been my favorite Windows based laptop. Any and all opinions would be deeply appreciated.
May God bless!

I've only had my T420 for a couple of weeks but so far I really like it. I reminds me of a mini version of the W520. My T420 has the i7 processor, NVIDIA Optimus and most of the options. I upgraded the RAM to 16GB and currently have the Intel Series 510 120GB SSD in the primary bay. I am waiting for a Samsung Series 830 SSD to arrive.
No complaints so far. It runs nice, quiet and cool.
If I were going to improve anthing on the machine, it would be the screen. The 1600x900 AUO screen on mine is fair but I can live with it. I bought this machine new on eBay for an excellent price.
I am using the 6 cell battery right now and get a little over four hours of battery life. The 9 cell is quite a bit better but I like the flush lighter 6 cell.
Love the keyboard. The trackpad is fair but I haven't tweaked the Ultranav settings yet. Been using a mouse mose of the time.
I have several ThinkPads and I think the T420 is an excellent balance of power and features. I am comparing it to my X301, T410s, T61p and W510. I added a 34mm USB 3.0 ExpressCard (still testing).
After my experience with the W520 random shutdowns, I won't be totally comfortable with this machine for a couple of months but it's looking really good so far. I am optimistic.

Thinkpad T61p is incompatible to Windows 7 x64

Dear Lenovo Support, i never had that kind of crap with any other thinkpad i bought. Today i tried to update my Thinkpad T61p (6457-7XG) to Windows 7 x64 which is already long enough on the market to update all drivers from your site. Remember: It has a very long beta and RC phase. Long enough to check everything is working without extra work for the user.
Things are crap:
1)Lack of Win7 drivers for the integrated sd-card reader.. The driver from the Homepage installs. Everything is ok in the Hardware Manager. If i plug in my card, nothing is happens. (my card is 100% ok). At this point i need to search and tryout to get this thing working.
2)Lack of working bluetooth software. The support homepage offers v6.1.0.5100 which is definitive not working with Windows 7 x64. At this point this is not an up to date driver because the newest software is 6.2.0.9600 and is working with windows 7. If i try to download it from broadcom the setup software cancels because lenovo devices are not supported. So i need to do a workaround by myself because you are not able to fix it by time.
3)If i plug out my ethernet cable the lenovo software tries to switch to wlan. sometimes it starts to hang and my mouse is moving by 1-2fps... same problem occurs if i deactivate my wireless device by default so it cannot switch. This bug is representable at any time. There is no possibility to save anything after it starts to hang. I need to press the power button until the system powers off.
I also never had some high frequent beep noise in hard disk access mode until i bought the T61p.
If i sum all things i am realy unhappy with this product. My warranty expires in 286 days and i will need a new notebook. So tell me a reason why i should by a new lenovo notebook which would be less supported with actual os versions? Will i have the same problems by updating a new lenovo product to windows 8?
I am also wondering now why i bought a expensive lenovo product if i could buy a product with the same quality for 1000$ cheaper.. so where is this money at? It is definitive not the same quality as ibm provided it with the old thinkpads up to T60. The Thinkpad T61p is not as old to stop the driver support for new os because a lot of people still using it with a extended warranty in a productive enviroment. In this case its better to use win 7 then vista.
Thinkpad T61p (6457-7XG)

The company i work for got several T61 and T61p running Windows 7 x64 without any such issues. I'm not sure if you got a hardware problem or software problem, but you say that you tried to update to Windows 7. Does it mean you performed a upgrade from Vista or a clean install of Windows 7? I always suggest a clean install since i had several issues with OS upgrades in the past. So if you did a upgrade you might have some issues because of that. In that case i would suggest a clean install of Windows 7. If the problems are caused because of a OS upgrade you cannot blame Lenovo. This could be a problem for any computer whatever Brand. There is also some BIOS updates that contains some Windows 7 fixes, did you update your BIOS before the installation or did you check that you already had a pretty new BIOS version that is supposed to work fine with Windows 7?
This is not a general problem for all T61/T61p models so it got nothing to do with low quality of the Lenovo models. There is no way you can get a computer with similar quality/spec that cost $1000 less. In that case it's either not the same quality or not the same spec. Windows 7 is supported on T61/T61p and there are drivers available that work fine. I never did a upgrade to Windows 7 and always performed a clean install. I read that several others performed a upgrade without these kind of problems though.

[solved] Kernel panic (?) when closing lid or undocking thinkpad t61p

Hello,
I have a thinkpad t61p connected to the advanced mini-dock. I also have an external monitor connected to the DVI port. When I press the "Eject request" button on the dock, the green led starts to blink and then stops blinking. After this the laptop is totally freezed, with sound looping over and over again from the speakers.
Worth noting is that I can undock with no problems from the console (no X server running). This seems to indicate that this is an issue with the nvidia drivers?
This seems also be the case with the laptop freezing when I close the lid while X is running.
I'm running 2.6.30.6-1 kernel and nvidia 185.18.36-1.
Any ideas what's causing this? Should I report this to nvidia, lenovo or ... ?

I haven't got around to get that working yet. It's been a real pain with my previous systems so I've just learned to live without suspend/hibernate.
Thanks for the link. Nothing seems to be related to the T61 models though.

Photoshop CS4 brush cursor bug on Thinkpad T61p

I've got a Thinkpad T61p with a Nvidia Quadro FX 570M onboard (driver version: 6.14.11.7471). There seems to be a bug with the graphics driver in conjunction with the new Adobe Photoshop CS4. Photoshop now uses GPU-optimization with more brush capabilities. Unfortunately the cursor clips when using brush-sizes larger than 64px. One can see the bug on the nvidia cs4 promotion "brush resizing" at http://www.nvidia.com/object/adobe_photoshop.html. Nvidia corrects this bug in newer driver versions, but lenovo only offers a WinXP-display-driver from 2008-04-28.
Does anyone know any workround? I've tested somo older forceware drivers (178.24) with partial success. The display bug in Photoshop is fixed, but e.g. After Effects CS4 crashes while detecting the GPU.
Message Edited by mikey on 10-23-2008 03:20 AM

Today I've installed the latest Forceware Drivers 180.60 from http://www.laptopvideo2go.com/ to test the bug behaviour.
The brush cursor now seems to be able to handle big brush sizes but the performance is reduced noticable.When painting inside a new document the rendering of the brush path is done after painting over the area, even when using small brush sizes.
So let's wait until Nvidia/Lenovo roll out a new driver.

Photoshop CS3 doesn't like "Lenovo ThinkPad LCD Monitor" color management profile

When launching Photoshop CS3 Extended, I get a warning:
The monitor profile "Lenovo ThinkPad LCD Monitor" appears to be defective. Please rerun your monitor calibration software.
[Ignore Profile] [Use Anyway]
If this can be confirmed, could it please be the target of a minor update/patch?
This recent T61p 15.4" WSXGA+ notbook's monitor is honestly pretty bad in terms of color accuracy. The overall sense is very blue; yellows show up orange. Is this normal? But that's really a side issue. I do most of my work on an external monitor anyway.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Thank you very kindly, Erik; my searches hadn't found that. However, my T61p appears to already have that software -- not surprising as that was released in December and this notebook was built about a month ago.
I tried the instructions given, but Windows said my computer was already up-to-date. I suppose I could try uninstalling what the computer came with and reinstalling the download...
[Edit 1]
Ah, wait... I retried it from the device manager instead of display properties -- here, I could be sure I was picking the proper "monitor" (the display properties showed only my external monitor). It did instal... said I had version 4.0 and v 4.1 has the "fix" according to the readme.
It wants me to reboot. I'll post again if somehow that didn't do it.
Message Edited by davidhbrown on 04-21-2008 09:36 AM
[Edit 2]
Yes, indeed... Photoshop no longer complains. So, I wonder why this isn't in the software build or at least in the updates I've been faithfully downloading. But thanks again, Erik.

Scratches on a screen of brand new ThinkPad T61p

Hello
I've bought a brand new (factory sealed) ThinkPad T61p (warranty valid until 2011). I've found scratches on a screen. One is almost 2 inches long and has multiple tracks. There are also other smaller scratches in different areas. I didn't even tried to turn it on and enjoy a new great piece of hardware...
How this could be? Will Lenovo replace the LCD?
Kind regards

Hi andyP!
I purchased it on a polish internet auction from a private seller who bought it in the USA.
So it looks as though the TP is third hand. Keep trying, I wish you luck, but I believe you need to address your complaint against the seller, not Lenovo.

T61 Lenovo Thinkpad crashes powerpoint 2010

Just installed Office 2010 on a Lenovo Thinkpad T61 running on MS Windows XP Professional v5.1.2600 SP 3. When we open two or more presentations in PPT 2010 and try to work with them PPT crashes. Sometimes it will crash when trying to open a file. We did not have this problem with Office 2007. I read through some posts and did try disabling (renaming) the Thinkpad send to blue tooth add-in, btsendto_office.dll and also the btsendto.dll files and that did not work.
Any other ideas?

Hello,
Does the problem only occur on one ThinkPad T61? Have you tried it on another, or on different computers?

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.
Regards,
Jean-Pierre
Solved!

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.

Aryeh Goretsky

Lenovo Thinkpad T60 with start up problems

I have a Lenovo Thinkpad T60 with start up problems. In order to get the computer to start up, I have to unplug it, remove the battery, re-insert the battery and turn it on, once it starts the start up sequence, I can plug in the power cord.
If I plug the cord in before I push the power button, all of the lights go out, and it does nothing.
I have tried several power supplies, and a new battery, even though the old battery seems to work.
All of the updates are applied, including the latest bios update.
The computer seems to work normally unless it goes into standby, then it just turns off.
Any ideas what could be causing this?

Lenovo ThinkPad X1 and Dell U2711 / HDMI?

Hello,
I plan to purchase the Dell U2711 monitor, it has a resolution of 2560 x 1440.
Will my Lenovo ThinkPad X1 handle this over the HDMI port?
Thanks in advance,
Simon

Not thru HDMI, but it will thru the mini-display port. You simply need a mini-display port to full size display port cable, something like this.

About Lenovo Thinkpad W540 for Music Production at a Professional Level

Hey there! I just signed up to this blog in search for an answer to my quest. I've heard a lot of good things about Lenovo ThinkPad W540, and I would like to make sure that I am getting what I really need to stay up to date, in this everyday changing technological world, for a while before making a purchase.
So far, this is what I got in my wish list:
Intel Core i7-4700MQ Processor (6MB Cache, up to 3.40GHz)
Windows 7 Professional 64
15.6" FHD (1920 x 1080) LED Backlit Anti-Glare Display, Mobile Broadband Ready
W540 NVIDIA Quadro K1100M 2G
16GB PC3-12800 DDR3L (4 DIMM)
500GB Hard Disk Drive, 7200rpm
DVD Recordable
Intel Dual Band Wireless 7260AC with Bluetooth 4.0
1 Year Depot or Carry-in
I would like to know what are the major differences between the above items, which I have in my wish list, and the ones below:
1) Intel Core i7-4930MX Processor (8MB Cache, up to 3.90GHz)
2)15.5” 3K (2880 x 1620), IPS LED Backlit Anti-Glare Display, Mobile Broadband Ready, Color Sensor
3) W540 NVIDIA Quadro K2100M 2G
4) 32GB PC3-12800 DDR3L (4 DIMM)
5) I would like a 1TB hard drive but they don't come at 7200 rpm, i guess the one in my wish list works fine.
6) Do I need a more sophisticated Optical Drive from the DVD Recordable in my wish list?
I guess whay I am trying to investigate is if I can function in the music production world with a Thinkpad W 540 with the specs already in my wish list? And, what difference would it make updating this machine with the specs below. Your assistance and comments will be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Hi ColonellONeill, thank you for taking your time in attempt to solve my problems.
Temperatures varies, but it never reached to unbearably hot.
Shutdown warning: for the last couple of times, I did got the blue screen warning (that windows had problem and will restart after collecting the necessary information) on my Helix and hanged display on my external monitor. Otherwise, most of the time, there isn't warning at all.
I doubt if there is anything to do automatic windows update as I have scheduled it every morning at 3 'O' clock! Sometimes it works from weeks to couple of months without even noticing any of these technical problems but then when it starts, it stays for weeks; it just comes and goes - never been able to resolve the issues completely; even the technician.
(It just happend right now! and this time wihtout even warning, and Helix wasn't even running 30 minutes - temperature is normal, I can feel it's little warm.)
Currently I am using my Helix with Thinkpad USB 3 dock connected to external Monitor with wired keyboard and mouse connected back at the dock.

I get an error message when trying to connect my iphone to a lenovo thinkpad

I cannot get my Iphone to work on the Lenovo Thinkpad edge 520, when I connect the phone it brings up an error saying there was a problem loading the device. In the control panel I get a yellow exclamatin mark next to the mobile usb device. I tried to update the OS of the phone and the driver on the laptop, and uninstalled the viris program.

The iPhone will NOT pair with any computer via bluetooth with the expetion being for tethering an internet connection. This has NEVER been a feature of the iPhone or any iOS device.
