I personally would be a little sceptical about that offer. They describe the board as "BRAND NEW - NEVER USED OR INSTALLED", and "You will receive the motherboard (what you see in the photo) ONLY".
I see a fan and the pcmcia slot assy attached to the mainboard in that photo , these are separate parts and are not delivered with the board when originally ordered though IBM part sales.
Maybe I'm interpreting their add wrongly, but I'd certainly ask the question beforehand.

Lenovo Battery Spacer (FRU #92P1227 or FRU #42W3050) for ThinkPad X61s

I've bought a 8-cell battery (40Y7003) for my Lenovo ThinkPad X61s, but there no optional battery spacer (FRU #92P1227 or FRU #42W3050) comes with the battery. So there is a big backlash between the battery and the laptop chassis. I've searched through google and it seems almost impossible to get the battery spacer alone. Can you suggest any solutions to the problem?
Thank you.

To the best of my knowledge the spacer is included in the box. Was your battery purchased from an authorised Lenovo reseller or directly?

ThinkPad X61 screen sucks! Will lenovo replace it for me??

My friend send me a ThinkPad X61 last month. Recently I installed Ubuntu 8.04 on it and found a big problem! There is a blank squre inside the screen, which is very clear under Ubuntu Human Theme.
Should I sent my X61 to Singapore Lenovo? Will they replace the Screen for me?

Time to give Lenovo a call and have the LCD replaced then...
Good luck.
Cheers,
George

Thinkpad X61 screen not working after driver install?

Recently I decided to change my operating system on my Thinkpad X61 so I completly refreshed the system and installed Windows 7 . I finished the install and it seemed to boot properly . As I began to install my drivers via the Lenovo website it asked for a RESART. After restarting the PC it wouldnt show a screen . I've tried to connect to another output and that didnt work.
As for the motherboard theory I honestly dont think that is the problem because I've seen several people on several forums discuss the same problem and they've found a solution but I cant seem to get anyone to discuss what that solution was.
I am a student so I am in need of my computer so if someone could please help me as soon as possible.
Moderator note; moved to correct board

Are you really talking about X61? If so, this is the wrong forum, but regardless, here is what to do. Pull the battery out. Unplug the machine, and press the power button several times, holding it for 5 seconds the last time. Put the battery back and plug it in. Turn it on and try to boot into the BIOS. If the screen stays black, either the screen or the motherboard has died. If you can plug it into an external monitor and try again, you can tell which one it is.

Thinkpad x61 won't power on

When I plug the power adapter onto the jack of the laptop, whether with or without the battery, the Ethernet port momentarily lights up for a second and then dies out. That's all. Is there a short circuit in the motherboard or is the motherboard dead?

Hi Radium,
Welcome to Lenovo Community!
I’m sorry to hear that you are facing the issue with No Power on ThinkPad X61.
Perform Flee Power – remove the battery and any other peripheral device connected to the computer. Hold the power button for 10-15 seconds and then connect only the AC Adapter and turn ON the computer.
If above said did not helped in resolving your concern, I strongly recommend you to contact our technical support for assistance.

Biggest and fastest hard drive I can put into my Thinkpad X61

What is the biggest and fastest hard drive I can put into my Thinkpad X61 (type 7673-AG2)?
Here's someone who used a Seagate Monentus:
I'm surprised that the vintage 2007 core2duo Thinkpad X61 supports Sata 3Gb/s. Has it been around that long?
The Lenovo X61 product detail support page does not say which revisions of SATA it supports:
The X61 hardware maintenance manual just says "SATA interface".

See http://www.hgst.com/travelstar-7k1000 for a good candidate.

Please help on key caps of Thinkpad X61, thanks.

My notebook is Thinkpad X61 bought in December 2007. The cap for key "S" is lost and I am wondering where I could get a new one? I mean the black, plastic key cap covering the "real" keystroke with letter "S" engraved on it.
I am in Melbourne, Australia. Anybody can provide the contact details of Melbourne-based Thinkpad Service Centre?
Thanks a lot!

Question:
1) Does moving the tables to another tablespace
SIGNIFICANT better than moving the tables to the same
tablespace for the purpose of re-org? As i can see
that moving to the same tablespace don't help much.If you create LMT ( Locally manage tablespace) and move table to LMT , it will improve performance. Also collect stats for table after major update/delete/insert.
2) As for my case, my filesystem do not have enuff
space for the new tablespace to cater for the 400
tables. So i can only resort to the export/import
method?
Yes, there is no other solution if space is not there

Webcam crashes my Thinkpad x61

I have tried to install both a Lenovo webcam and a Logitech QuickCam Deluxe for Notebooks on my x61 (Windows XP, SP3). The software seems to install correctly, but when I connect the camera it instantly disables my internet connection (both ethernet and wireless). I need to do a system restore in safe mode in order to be able to connect again. I tried first with the Lenovo camera and spent hours on the phone with Lenovo support, who had no idea what to do. I returned the camera and bought a Logitech, but the results were the same. Logitech says it's a known issue with Lenovo. Both cameras worked on my Thinkpad T41 (same O/S and internet connection), but the resolution was very bad. Does anyone know a fix for the x61 problem?

* Upgrade to Firefox 4.0 Beta 11.
* Upgrade your graphic driver from http://www.nvidia.com/object/notebook-win7-winvista-64bit-266.58-whql-driver.html or from your computer manufacturer support site.
* If it does not solve your issue, try to disable Norton IPS 2.0 that is known to be crashy for Firefox 4. See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]].
* Using the latest version of plugins is also good to prevent crashes, [http://www.mozilla.com/plugincheck/ check your plugin].

Windows 8 making thinkpad X61s C2Duo L7500 (default 1.6GHz) runs at 1.8GHz

Hi!
My laptop is a thinkpad X61s C2Duo L7500, wich current CPU frequency is 1.6GHz.
I installed Windows 8 and noticed something strange:
The CPU is running at the maximum of 1.8GHz.
Screens:
Running on balanced performance energy plan:
Image 1
Running on high performance energy plan:
Image 2
Energy plans are the defaults of Win8, not customized.
BIOS is at default values.
The CPU frequency goes up 1.8GHz both on balanced performance and high performance energy plans. as obvious, on high performance it happens regularly, while on balanced performance it goes up to 1.8GHz just sometimes.
Although that problem, my X61s is running windows Windows 8 well. It just had 3 BSODs, but I'm pretty sure should be caused by the higher CPU frequency.
Have anyone noticed the same problem?
There is any fix or workaround to solve it?
I'm afraid that my CPU could be damaged if I use it for a very long time.
Thanks!

Thanks CharlyAR!
So, i finally found out I was completely wrong :-(
Here are Intel L7500 Specs:
http://www.cpu-world.com/sspec/SL/SLA3R.html
It says it runs at 1.8GHz on IDA mode.
There is a feature called IDA:
Intel Dynamic Acceleration technology (IDA) is a feature that boosts CPU performance when the CPU is running single-threaded applications. This is achieved by temporary increasing frequency of one CPU core when another CPU core is idle, i.e. when the second CPU core is in Deep Sleep or lower power state. How much the frequency is increased depends on front-side bus speed of the CPU:
533 MHz FSB - by 133 MHz
800 MHz FSB - by 200 MHz
1066 MHz FSB - by 133 or 266 MHz
This feature was introduced in Intel Core 2 Duo Mobile microprocessor family and is applicable only to dual-core CPUs. Quad-core processors incorporate Dual Dynamic Acceleration feature, which works similar to IDA. Newer Intel microprocessors based on Nehalem core utilize improved version of IDA called Turbo Boost Technology.

So, I reverted all my energy plans to the default states and now I'm running it without being afraid ;-)

Thinkpad x61s battery spacer

Dears,
I own a thinkpad x61s since 2009, that came with a 2200mah battery (I'm not sure about the capacity, but I guess it is the one that has the smalest capacity for x61x).
Now that its lasting just 30 minutes on battery, I'm looking for a new one 8 cells battery to buy.
When I was looking for it, I found out that the 8 cells battery needs an extra (small) spacer to match perfectly on x61s chassis. It's a kind of adapter.
My doubt is whats the part number of this adapter, and where I can buy it.
Thanks,

if you buy it from Lenovo then the spacer is included in the package, otherwise you can get it from ebay for under 10 dollars.

Jin Li

BIOS update utility - ThinkPad X61, X61s, Reserve Edition Version: 2.20

BIOS update utility - ThinkPad X61, X61s, Reserve Edition
A new BIOS update is available on Lenovo site for X61. Is it worth updating and will it solve overheating problem. Please let me know those who tested it.
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-67982
Regards.

I forgot to follow up my own follow up. The heat problem returned and I was going to send it back again, but realized tech would probably just repack and send it back to me untouched. I was able to reduce the heat by eliminating much of the bloatware, including several of Lenovo's own utilities. I monitor it now and find that when running a spyware scan, for example, the heat builds up again.
I believe the problem is all about hardware constrictions, that is, faster components in an ever-shrinking case. I blame developers for not implementing better cooling techniques, and am especially critical of the premium sellers like Lenovo for charging as much as they do for mediocre performance.

PC3-10600 memory modules in ThinkPad x61?

Hey everyone,
I own two thinkpads: X61 and T60. A friend of mine upgraded his thinkpad to 8 GB RAM, from 4, and offered to give me the Elpida memory modules. It's 4GB. I now have 4 GB in the X61, and 2 GB in the T60. I was thinking of installing the memory my friend gave me on the X61, and putting the current X61 modules in the T60, but the modules he gave me are pc3-10600. Will this run ok in the x61? I realize that is not going to run at the rated speed, but will it run ok, without any problems?
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I am pretty sure that both the T60 and X61 use DDR2 memory. What your friend gave you is DDR3 memory, which is not compatible, as they are not electrically or physically compatible.
Compare your ram with the one your friend gave you, you will see the "notch" is in a different place, preventing accidental mixup.
