T400 screw placement problem

Hey guys, small problem working out where one screw goes(well two screws sort of)... Bought a T400 second hand and it was flithy. Seen the well detailed pdf and thought there was nothing to lose, so took it all apart lol. But now on my way back to re-assembling it all, I've quickly hit a snag.
The diagram in the pdf page 102 seems to be different from my layout (my magnesium frame is different in a way it has more holes in some areas)
Here is my layout
Notice that the pdf diagram hasn't got as many holes under the wifi card area. Also the hole to the left of the lcd connector on my layout isnt there in the pdf .. reason why I mention this hole also is because I have a screw in it coming up from the bottom(you see, this hole is there from the bottom in the pdf on page 110(screw 8) of how the motherboard screws onto the frame, but from this top view its gone(mistake in the pdf maybe?.., but why all the other differences too, like extra holes on my layout?).. Is it a half hole, that doesn't come through to top, maybe only on certain models?).. the thing that is confusing, is that the lcd brace uses that same hole too. So that is going to be 2 screws in the same hole - one screwed in from bottom, then from from the top when brace goes on... is this right?
Now getting to the "1 screw" that is confusing me the most. It's a "9.5mm screw" and it is meant to go to the right of the lcd socket. but the layout in the pdf is slightly different. Should I put it there anyway?.. What if it goes under the wifi card instead?.. the holes there look more deeper, and the screw is big. And I'm afraid I may damage the MB if screwed into wrong hole. It is on pdf page 102 (screw 4)... can anyone shed any light on this confusion?
Thanks in advance for any replies
Solved!
Go to Solution.

All the T400 wifi cards are "n" compatible. The 3 wire cards are primary (b & g), auxilary and "n". There are also 2-wire cards that are primary (b, g, & n) and auxilary. I never found that turbo memory really helped. I ran tests and had no improvement. CPU upgrades only help if you do very particular cpu-intensive tasks. In general, adding memory and getting a faster disk are more cost-effective. If you have a WWAN card, you can access a celular network as if you had a mobile phone. In the U.S. the service is expensive, and I have never gotten it because it doesn't cover the areas where I would use it. Someone else can probably give you more help on the particulars in the UK.

T400 Flickering Screen problem

I am having a problem where my computer screen keeps flickering, especially during start up and afterwards. It doesnt matter whether it is plugged in or not. It is similar to this video,
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9MOv_NsFqpQ&noredirect=1
I took it to my tech support and no one had any idea what to do about it. In addition, images on random websites (anything from huffington post to yelp) only half load. I uninstalled and reinstalled my browsers and updated my drivers.
This laptop has given me problems since I bought it. I once sent it into lenovo for repair and it had to be sent right back again. Another time i got a replacement battery and it arrived coated in sand and seemed worse than the original - (but was going abroad so I couldnt wait for another replacement.)
Since it is out of warranty, I am wondering if there is any way to fix this or whether I need to get a new laptop. Thanks!

HTML Help window placement problem

Hi -
We just upgraded to R7 from X5. It seems that now, for our
newly generated Help, the HTML Help viewer will not right-align.
Even if I specify the maximum width in the Window Properties
dialog, when generated, the window only extends about 4/5 of the
available screen width and is LEFT aligned.
Our screens are 1024 x 768 and RoboHelp seems to understand
this because if I max out the window size in the Window Properties
dialog, the height shown = 767 and width = 1019.
Is anyone else experiencing this placement problem?
TIA

Hi, Jack,
> ... the HTML Help window properties dialog only accepts
hard coordinates (i.e. pixels).
> ...
> Unless someone knows differently, for HTML Help,
apparently you can't get the HTML
> Help viewer to appear right-aligned for all
screen/display configurations
Yes, this is correct on both counts. Because of limitations
in Microsoft's design of HTML Help, you cannot specify the
dimensions of the help window in anything other than pixels, and
you can only set the initial position of the window relative to the
left and top edges of the screen.
On the other hand, if you are calling the help file
programmatically from an application, there may be some scope for
controlling the position of the help window by using standard
Windows functions. This article provides a small amount of extra
information:

Faces and Places Problem

Hello,
maybe someone could help me (apple telephone support could not):
Faces problem:
I made a smart-album to sort out all the "unnamed faces". But 92 pictures have a strange behaviour. They are tagged as "unnamed" although there is no rectangle in the picture to tag. I've allready used the repair-function and deleted all cache files (telephone support advised me to do both).
Places problem:
another strange thing is places. I've got a few pictures which have more than one "place" tagged. I don't know how this could happen. If you take a look at the screenshot you can see that I made a smart-album with 4 different places (PLACE - IS - XY - AND - PLACE - IS .....) to demonstrate that kind of behaviour

I've noticed that photos I had faces from iPhoto 09 are not syncing (I only had a few).
In the manual list, the faces are not an option to select them. Tried removing and resyncing library and no avail.

T400 wireless conection problem

I reload my T400 with Windows xp.sp2 recovery DVD. Then upgrade to xp.sp3 and renew all drivers(bios & firmware) with the latest at Lenovo website.
After that, I have problem for wireless connection after startup. Browser shows "website xxx, found waiting for reply...", no connection at the end. My wirelesscard is Intel(R) WiFi Link 5300 AGN, T400 27671G.
Checking the system event viewer, it gives an error & warning:
-------------------Service Control manager
The SessionLauncher service failed to start due to the following error:
The system cannot find the path specified.
------------------ dhcp warning
Your computer was not able to renew its address from the network (from the DHCP Server) for the Network Card with network address xxxxxxx. The following error occurred:
The semaphore timeout period has expired. . Your computer will continue to try and obtain an address on its own from the network address (DHCP) server.
Anyone has the same issue?
Appreciate any advice...

I am stuck up with Laptop and the router.

Places: problem with the State field in Aperture 3.03

hi,
I live in Europe and I have some problems in handling the State field in Aperture 3.03, because this field isn't always relevant in non North-American Countries.
The Google suggestions in Places don't always include the 4 fields (Location/City/State/Country). I have a lot of pictures taken in the Azores islands (Portugal) which don't show up in my Aperture map because the marker somehow doesn't write Azores in the State field.
Question #1: is there a way to eliminate the State field from Aperture, or at least to render it optional?
Question #2: if I manually create a New Location, what is the proper syntax to separate Location/City/State/Country in a way that will be understood by the Aperture database? I tried putting commas as a separator, but it doesn't seem to be working.
Thanks for your help.

Yes, same here. I cannot complete my registration process due to the same error. My state is correct, which is RS (two letters only). I don't know what else to do. Refer to the image below. Thanks!

T400 sleep mode problem

Hi, I got my new T400 last week, prett happy. However, I found an annoying problem with T400 entering sleep mode. Randomly, it fails to go into sleep mode. It just hangs there with no response at all from keyboard and mouse, the "sleep moon" light doens't turn on either. I have to hold the power button to forcely shut it down and reboot. Quite annoying.
I did some research on this forum, somebody suggested reinstall the Power Manager and its driver, I tried that and the problem remains. BTW, My video driver is also up to date.
Then I called Lenovo/IBM Atlanta support team, and was told to try to update my BIOS. So I preceeded with that too. Because I have Vista64, I have to download an iso image and burn a bootable CD with Roxio Creator (preinstalled on T400), and changed the BIOS startup sequence to boot from the internal CD drive. Somehow, T400 couldn't boot from the CD I burned with the BIOS update iso image. So I am back to suqare one.
Someone in this forum also suggested it might be a motherboard problem, but the tech rep I talked with didn't mention that.
Any suggestions on this sleeping mode issue? Or if you could help with the bootable CD with BIOS update? Thanks in advance!

Sorry, I have to ask the usual iso burn question: are you burning it as a file, or as an image? If your cd is readable under windows (or whatever) and has a file on it called xxx.iso, you probably used the wrong burn option.
No offense, but this is the usual problem. If you are already handling this, sorry about the noise...

T400 different wireless problem

Hi,
I have a problem with the Intel WifiLink 5300 on my T400 with Vista.
I am using Vista to configure the wireless.
But I'd rather use Thinkvantage, but even if I disable the Vista integrated wireless configuration, Thinkvantage still says that another program controls the wireless)
The Second problem is that web browsing sometimes doesn't work.
I enter google.com in firefox or internet explorer, it looks like he does something, but than a white page or nothing appears.
The funny thing about that is that other programs don't have problems, the Thinkvantage updater never disconnected and even if firefox can't reach google i still get a ping answer from google.
I disabled Windows Firewall und Defender, doesn't help anything.
The internet connection comes over a wireless connection, but other laptops don't have the same problems with the same router.
(i already installed the newest version of the WifiLink driver from intel's homepage)
Message Edited by kartoffel1337 on 10-25-2008 07:58 AM

how many bars of signal do you have?
Also, paste your pings and do a tracert to google.com when the browsing is not working.

Decimal place problem in smartforms..

Hi All,
I my smart forms i am displaying a quantity filed, but itz displaying with 3 decimal places. But i need to hide the decimal places. I try to use formating option &symbol(.N)& but itz giving error while calling the smart forms.
Plz help me...
Regards,
Pavan.M

Hi,
I've yet to find any SAP documentation or training material the recommends using the table's own header as the Smartforms work area. I have however found it causing unusual problems in the generated function module.
That said, I've tried reproducing your problem and have not been able to. You could try defining a work area and seeing if that helps.

Simple image placement problem

I just recnetly upgraded to Dreamweaver 8 and have a crazy
problem that I don't understand. I'm unable to add picutres
side-by-side. I don't quite understand what is happenening but when
I try and add two images side by side it forces the other down
below it. It doesn't matter how much space is availble or the size
of the images. Right now I'm having to create tables to place them
into but I think that is a terrible solution and I never had this
issue with MX.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Paste & Paste in Place problem

Hi there,
Recently i have these problem in the following description:
1- Create a new documet.
2- Draw a recangle frame on a page.
3- Copy the frame, and when i go to the other page on the same document the paste command is grayed.
Another problem:
1- Copy empty rectangle frame
2- Go to other page, when i paste the frame is filled with a content (fake content)
Also when i copy an item and try to paste it in place command it's not paste in same place.
I tried troube shooting
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/526990
but there's no solution
I tried Creative Suite Cleaner and reinstall and install indesign but all of these it's not solve the problem.
Indesign CS6 8.0.1
Windows 64bit

Ahem; yes…
Sometimes I should read more carefully.
In the meantime I could have a look at Shlomit's InDesign document.
I think, what he is seeing is not related to the OP's problem, but an issue in itself I can already observe in InDesign CS3.
Something "bad" will happen to the positioning of objects copied from master spreads by "Paste In Place", if the overall width of all pages left from spine is not equal to the overall width of pages right from spine. The pasted (in place) objects will move by half of the value the overall page widths will differ.
Either in positive x-direction, if the violation of symmetry (the wider side) is on the left side of the spine, or in negative x-direction, if the violation of symmetry is on the right side of the spine. It's not important, if the binding is LTR or RTL.
Still I have to test a bit, to see if that hypothesis is sustainable…
What is working alright:
Overriding or detaching objects from the applied master pages.
That will work without seeing a shift.

CS, CS2 & CS3 place problem

Hi,
I was just wondering if someone could help me with the following problem:
All l'm doing is placing a text file into a text frame - sounds easy - test code below:
======
set boxContent to "HDPropane:textfile.txt"
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS2"
    activate
    set MyDocument to active document
    try
        set myframe to (text frame 1 of MyDocument whose label is "testbox")
        «event K2 plac» (boxContent) with «class rtfo» without «class imot» given «class insh»:myframe
    on error emg
        display dialog emg
    end try
end tell
========
This works OK and will overwrite the contents each time... the problem is when you link the text frame to another text frame.... it still works fine if you run the script without having any contents in your text frames but as soon as you have some contents you get an error 'import failed' I get the same problem in CS, CS2 & CS3
I've even tried after the 'set myframe' adding set myframe contents to "" - adding this line was a little hit and miss sometimes it worked sometimes l got the same import failed message.
Regards, Gary.

Change this:
        set myframe to (text frame 1 of MyDocument whose label is "testbox")
        «event K2 plac» (boxContent) with «class rtfo» without «class imot» given «class insh»:myframe
to something like this:
        set myframe to (text frame 1 of MyDocument whose label is "testbox")
        set contents of parent story of myFrame to ""
        place file boxContent on myframe without showing options

T400 WiFi Driver problem

First post. I have a T400 and upgraded to Windows 7 Professional 64. Everything worked great. I tried to load the new WiFi 5300 drivers (ver 13) and my T400 cannot shutdown. It reboots and says that a serious driver problem occured. The machine cannot be shutdown without a hard shutdown. I have tried loading the driver using System Update, the Lenovo website and the Intel website all with the same result. If I uninstall the update everything works fine. I'm hoping to get better wifi performance especially N band with the new driver.
Has anyone gotten the new WiFi 5300 Drivers loaded on a T400 with Windows 7 64? What other Thinkvantage apps do you have running?

Hi:
You need these wireless and bluetooth drivers...
