First thing I would do is either download and install your sound drivers, or install "system update" and let it search for any updates you may need.
However, if this just suddenly happened, meaning it was working fine one day, then just stopped, then you could have some hardware failure, but I'd go this route first.
Good Luck

ThinkPad T60p not getting started

Hi,
My thinkpad T60p is not getting started. Whenever i switch on my laptop, the power and battery led glows for a second and goes away after that. And after that nothing happens. I tried by removing the battery for 1 minute and putting it back but nothing worked out. I got the same result of not able to start my laptop. My battery is fully charged.
Can anyone tell what could be the reason for this behavior?
Thanks,
Harish

1) Lenovo recalled T60p batteries as it has lot of issues
check your laptop batter is recalled or not by using this link : http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=BATT-LENOVO
2) remove your laptop battery and run the laptop with power connected & see if it started without any issues
in my case, it's working without battery and with battery i also had seen the same issue what you have. i got new battery from lenovo.
Try your luck too...
Thanks

Thinkpad T60p Video/Graphics Issue

I am running a Lenovo thinkpad T60p, WinXP SP2, 1 GB RAM, dual core processor @ 2.16 GHz, ATI MOBILITY FireGL V5200 video card.
I am certainly not trying to run Half Life 2 on my laptop, or watch super HD-DVDs. However, even the smallest exertion of video graphics or even online game turns out to run pretty slow, sometimes lagging. online videos full screen consistently lag, while resizing to a smaller window usually helps them run faster. Flash games run pretty slow, and changing the setting to "low quality" usually helps a bit.
Laptop was purchased 2 years ago, started noticing these problems about 2-3 months ago.
Why is my laptop incapable of running even simple videos and games smoothly? How can i isolate the source of the problem?

Which ATI offical driver should I use, as the driver for on ATI's webiste for ATI MOBILITY FireGL V5250 is refer back to Lenovo's website which is the one I'm already using and was last updated 04 Sep 2007.

Thinkpad T60p with Win XP - Lost color on external monitor (only black & white)

Hi, I have a ThinkPad T60P, and a couple of weeks ago, I lost color on my external monitor (connected by VGA cable)
I have done a lot of testing, and found a couple of strange things around this:
* when using docking station with two monitors, only monitor nr "1" inCatalyst Control Center shows colors, but not "2".
* When using external monitor (or projector) I don't get color
* When showing video on the external monitor, color works(!) This is only on some type of videos, I think. Flash videos (ie. YouTube does not show colors)
* When getting a bluescreen, the external monitor displays bluescreen with colors. When rebooting after bluescreen, colors were working while booting (windows logo with colors), but as soon as XP was up, colors were gone(!)
* I have tried updating to the latest graphics driver (79d533ww.exe), and all the settings in Catalyst Control Center / Control Panel
As a result of these findings, I beleive it must be a software problem, but since upgrading the drivers didn't work, I don't know what to try next.
I see also that there are other people experiencing the same problems, but I can't find any solution to this problem.

Cats seem to have a strong affinity for that display mode — remarkably often we hear that they've typed in the correct keystroke combo for it, and yet they never seem to set it back to normal after using the computer. Not very considerate, but you know cats: consideration isn't part of the package.

Lenovo ThinkPad T60P 2007-8EU - Removing LCD Front Bezel

Greetings,
I have just spent about four hours dis-assembling my Lenovo ThinkPad T60P 2007-8EU with the purpose of disabling the Blue Tooth device. One of the last steps before you do that is to remove the LCD Front Bezel. I have read the documentation and believe I have removed all the screws but I still can´t remove the Bezel.
Document:
Hardware refference guide
MT 1951, 1952, 1953, 1954, 1955, 1956, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2613, 2623, and 2637
Pages 117 - 118
I have the 14.1 inch monitor . So the information should be on page 117.
Can any one give me some advice here?
Thank you.

People,
I figured this one out.
There were two additional screws that had to be extracted. The documentation clearly showed this, but I did not see them because they, as several others, were neatly covered with plastic patches glued the screw position. It hides the screw and looks nice but it is difficult to figure out and harder to put back into place looking just as good after access.
While I was waiting for an answer, I figured it out. Thanks to anyone that read my message. No advice necessary. Problem solved. Thank you.

Unable to order recovery cds for used Thinkpad T60p's

I picked up three thinkpad t60p units second hand from my university's surplus auction, but per their policy the hard drives were totally wiped (including all partitions). I have looked up the FRU part numbers (43T8618 & 46V2346) here and wish to purchase the cds & dvds as spare parts. I tried to enter the part numbers here but it said the part could not be found in the database. I then tried calling the phone number on that page (1-800-765-5944), but I kept on getting bumped around to different numbers. I DO NOT wish to pay for a tech support call, I just want to order the parts! In fact I can't call support at all since they require a serial number but I do not have a way to get this information. This is due to the fact that the bios have been password protected but I do not have the bios password (the surplus guys have no clue), the stickers on the bottom having seen better days (serial number is not legible on two and only partially legible on the last), and obviously there is no OS to boot into. The only information I have is the model number (8741-CTO) and the operating system that was on them prior to the wipe (two were xp professional and one was vista ultimate). Anyway, I'm not concerned about trying to get this covered under warranty, as I am prepared to pay for the parts, if only I could actually order them! Please, somebody from lenovo, how the heck do I order these parts?

Yes, I know all about the supervisor password situation. Unfortunately these were part of 1000+ notebooks the surplus depot was auctioning off in lots and the supervisor password situation seems to have be on departmental level and unique to only a small subset of those sold. This is a state institution and, as such, little details like passwords tend to fall through the cracks. Since they were auctioned off and are no longer university property, the records (such as who had them/serial numbers/etc) were removed from the auditing system. I'm not going to return them because I got them for a song. Thus, I am going to be spending the next couple of months using some of my spare time to track down the department they came from using the tried and true method of trial-and-error. In the mean time, I would like to have them operational and having the supervisor password is irrelevant for this, since the system tries to boot from the optical drive and then the hdd. You know, why can't they put the serial number and what not inside the battery bay where it is less likely to come into contact with foreign substances/greasy hands/sharp surfaces? But more importantly, why is it such a hassle to order these disks? I mean, I have had to order restore disks in the past from HP and it is easy as pie. I just place my order with the parts system online, no serial numbers, no calls to tech support, or any other nonsense needed. Seriously, it isn't like these will work on a non-Lenovo system since you still need a valid key/slic in the system's eeprom. The search continues, but I think I will go the e-bay route for the XP Pro disks. I still need the Vista Ultimate recovery disks, however.

Thinkpad T60P and IMAC

All - I have an IMAC G5 and a Thinkpad T60P. I have my IMAC set up to share its internet connection with the wireless option on my Thinkpad. Is there any way to set up both computers so that I can access each other's files from the opposite computer.
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide, and I'll be sure to leave "good feedback" for any answers, even if they aren't what I'm hoping for!!

Hello,
I just read your posting, and tried to apply to my home networking problems. I seem to be having some difficulty with my PC or perhaps my router though ...
From the remote desktop client, I got the error: The Mac cannot connect to the Windows based computer. The problem might be temporary. Try connecting again, or contact your administrator.
From the Finder/Go/Connect to server method, I received the error "The finder cannot complete the operation because some data in smb://192.168.1.117 could not be read or written. (Error code -36)".
... any ideas what this problem might be?
Thanks in advance,
Jeff.

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.

Jean-Pierre

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.

Thinkpad T60p fails to connect to the network.

Greetings,
I have been having connectivity problems with my ThinkPad T60p. As a result, I removed and re-installed the network drivers.
At this point, when I turn on the wireless, I can see all of the available networks, but when I choose an open network, anyone, the network connection process starts, almost completes, and then, I get the following error:
"Unable to connect to the selected wireless network. You may need to configure your system to support the authentication that is in use. Contact you network administrator."

The latest driver for your Intel 3945ABG wireless card:

Try installing that one, and see where it gets you. There should be an Intel wireless utility included with it as well, so if the Access Connections and Windows one give you grief, try that one.
Good luck.

ThinkPad T430s No Sound Through Headphones or Internal Speakers

My laptop is unable to play sound through both headphones/earphones and its internal speakers.
I downloaded and installed the Realtek High Definition Audio Driver from the following site: http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/thinkpad-t-series-laptops/thinkpad-t43... .
As a result, the Device Manager shows that the HD Audio Device is working properly.
Also, there is a green check mark over the internal speakers icon and headphones icon (when I plug the headphones into the jack), which was not present before I installed the Realtek Driver.
However, there is still an "X" over the audio icon in the taskbar.
When I click on the audio icon, the following window appears, stating that the audio device is disabled.
I have went through various forums and solutions, but none have been helpful so far.
Thank you so much for your time and help for this issue!

The Unknown Device seems to have disappeared from my Device Manager when I restarted my laptop. However, the HD Audio Device is still there.
My audio stopped working around December 23, 2014. Since then, I have tried to find solutions on various other sites. But, when I search for the System Restore, it only brings up a recent Windows Update.
Roll Back for the HD Audio Device is greyed out.
Also, after uninstalling the HD Audio Device and rebooting Windows, this dialog appears, mentioning that the Unidentified Device is something that was unplugged, which I think are the headphones. Also, there was a Failed installation for the Audio Device.
Thanks so much for helping me look into this problem.

ThinkPad T60p 2nd monitor mod

I'm thinking of buying another T60p monitor and figuring out how to splice it to a VGA connector. Is there someone who has modded this or done something similar with laptop monitors that could give me some adivce on it? (Advice to not do it doesn't count)

Perhaps the silence you got above is was the best advice after all
I'm no expert on this but since an LCD panel is digital while the VGA interface is analog you'd need something more than splicing to the VGA connector, i.e. some sort of analog/digital converter.

ThinkPad T60p fan replacement

Hello, the subject says it all, I need to replace the fan in my T60p asap... its coming on a year since I've got it and the fan was never an issue until a couple of days ago and now it sounds like it's on its last legs! My question is what part numbers exactly do I need to reference for this? I noticed in the parts descriptions that there are 'discrete' and 'integrated' fans? I'm confused as to which part I actually need, please help me with this...
Thanks in advance,
Corey

ctrlaltdelete, welcome to the forum,
members would be able to better help if they know which T60p you have. If you post your Type and Model Number, or better add it to your signature, this would help. If it ends in "CTO" you will need to provide a description of the main components.

Thinkpad Yoga - fan sounds like a plane

In tablet mode (and mostly when the tablet is horizontal) then the fan (I suppose it is the fan) makes some horrible noise. I can't work with it at work in this mode as my colleagues look at me weirdly. When I lift up the screen a bit, then the fan stops in a struggling sound.
I did a video of the issue:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e0Y0hEr3qKc
It's a shame because in latpop mode it doesn't make any sound, even thought the work I do in laptop mode is much more intensive. Would not be for the sound, this is the best laptop I ever had. The keyboard is great, the edges are not sharp, the screen is beautiful, the wacom pen works perfectly. An awesome computer.
Anyone one had this fan noise issue?

Hi,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
I’m sorry to hear that fan in your Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga is making noise.
If your laptop feels hot and shows any of the problems below, chances are its overheating or getting there:
Fan constantly running and making loud whirring noises
Computer struggling to perform basic tasks like opening a new browser window
Mysterious error messages popping up in random programs
Lines on your laptop screen (a sign your video card is overheating)
System freezing or the dreaded BSOD (blue screen of death)
The laptop abruptly shuts down on its own
First of all, update BIOS to the latest version.
Use dust remover spray to clean out of the laptop's vents. Dust can accumulate in and block the laptop's fan vents. Start using compatible cooling pads which will help in the flow of cool air into the underside vents of the laptop. Keep your working environment or computer room as comfortably cool as possible. Check if the fan is touching some wires during spinning to cause the noise.
Best Regards,
Mithun.

Thinkpad W530 Humming Sound

Anyone else getting this humming sound? It's really quiet, but noticeable when you don't have music on. Anyone know how to fix it?

In that case it's probably the CPU. It's been a problem with Intel CPUs for generations. Varies by batch.
To double check, disable CPU power management from Power Manager > Advanced > Global Power Settings and see if it goes away. If so, call support and see if they'll replace the CPU for you.

Thinkpad Tablet Music Sound Issue

I have an X220 tablet, 4294CTO, and I think the sound card has taken a vacation. Was working then not. Get the message "no audio output device detected" but I have not made any changes to my machine. have two questions, 1) is the sound card integrated on the motherboard, and 2) how do i determine which mother board I have? I know i have the i7-2640M, but not sure what the AMT and TPM options are. If you think it's not the board I wouldn't mind keeping the money in my pocket :-)
Thanks for the help, Mike

http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/product-and-parts/partsLookup.page
from the above, you can find the exact planar that was installed in the machine.
But for an i7 X220t motherboard it would be quite expensive, more than what your machine is worth (if you are getting a new one). While, the second hand one from ebay can sometimes have quality or hardware issues.
For a more cost effective fix, you should just get an ExpressCard Sound Card, which cost under 100 dollars. You would also gain better sound quality, among other features.
