There is no graphics chip (integrated), but it sounds like you blew the backlight fuse on the motherboard

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.

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.

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.

W540 stuck on ThinkPad splash screen

I've got W540 (32GB RAM, 500GB HDD) running Windows 7.1 64bit that is constantly getting stalled at the ThinkPad splash screen during powerup.
It will often stall at the "ThinkPad" splash screen.
Other times it will stall at the "ThinkPad" splash screen with the "To interrupt normal startup, pess Enter" message displayed.
I've seen other entries that reference this issue with:
- using a SSD, I'm a standard HDD.
- a broken USB port. Mine all look OK (is there a way to actually test them?)
I've updated to the latest Bios and reset the Bios defaults with no change.
I've run the hardware diagnostic tests and found no errors.
When I say "stall" on the splash screens I sometimes find if I leave it alone long enough (maybe 5+ minutes) it will continue to the normal Windows boot up.
This is the 2nd W540 out of a pool of laptops to display symptoms similar to this.
Anyone got information on what may cause a stall at the ThinkPad splash screen?
Thanks.

Not knowing your exact set up, but KNOWING that this is a blind black box with no activity light like a normal workstation, you need to do workarounds.
Normally, on my older workstation, I could see the HD light blink and the rate would give me an inkling of the process.
The WORKAROUND: we now need to calibrate your computer clock to your watch, or use a cell phone time keeper which would already be synced if the W540 is connected to the WiFi (no switch so the W540 has to be connected, unless there is no access point). As an aside, I have found that when there are large MS updates, like last Tuesday, or other such WiFi connected updated, the compute also hangs with the user having NO KNOWLEDGE that the WiFi is talking / or calling home to some cloud device.
Back to the workaround: Boot the system, and when there appears to be a crash or hang in the sequence, note the time of the 'event' and also note the time when it appears to restart. Once properly booted, and I cannot tell you how often this has happened to my W540, check the even times in the [Event Viewer]. Too long to explain, Google the term "Win 7 Event Viewer", or check this:
MS Help - Event Viewer
Then find out where the computer chokes and restarts by checking the time in the events and the cause. These are i/o routines which the Lenovo Gods have decide to shield us from such WORKSTATION task.
FWIW, often I get <Program Not Responding>, when in fact it is performing a numbers intensive task.... yet I cannot tell what is happening as there is no i/o light. Usually unlocks when the task is finished, which may be what is happening on your system. You need to find out the task that is causing the wait.
Odd, the Lenovo Gaming machines Y50 have these lights, albeit atrophied: see lower 4 indicator lights....

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

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

X61s: lost Thinkpad welcome screen

I just got an L2440p external monitor to use with my X61s (and T60p.) After messing about with this combination I no longer get the standard Thinkpad welcome screen when I power up the X61s. I suspect there is some conflict between the built-in Windows screen property settings, Intel's GMA driver/applet and various ThinkVantage software like Presentation Director. Toggling Fn+F7 doesn't seem to help. The X61s runs Vista Business.
Any ideas on how to get the Thinkpad welcome screen back?

> are you missing the welcome screen when powering the X61s with or without the L2440p attached?
Either way. During power-on the screen remains blank all the way until Windows Login. Even the standard Windows boot progress bar is absent.
> what do you have set as the default boot display device? this can be accessed in the BIOS
That's the problem. I can't get into the BIOS because I can't see the ThinkPad screen. (Well actually I can, by pressing the ThinkVantage button, but I can't see what comes up thereafter.)
BTW my T60p and earlier ThinkPads all had a Configuration Utility where among other things I could forcedisplay settings. I notice this utility is AWOL on the X61s.
Edit: My error. I had the L2440p powered off but not disconnected. After I disconnected the VGA cable the Welcome screen came up on the X61s and I was able to go into BIOS Config to set Display to "Both." Now if I power-on with no external display the Welcome screen comes up on the X61s. But if the L2440p is connected, even though I set "Both" the Welcome screen comes up only on the L2440p. What's going on?

T500 freezes at opening Thinkpad spash screen

I have a T500 [2081-CT0] running Windows 7. Today on boot up the unit froze at the Thinkpad splash screen at the beginning of the bootup routine. I can hear the fan and feel the HDD spinning.
I have, to begin with rebooted several times, removed the battery, reseated the HDD...
A previous issue that has been intermittant is the USP not recognising an external HDD. It would always recognise on reboot but not initially as on other home and office computers. This issue began in the past two weeks.
My thought is HDD controller but I am not familiar with the T500 architecture to know its place in the world.
I have done initial searches here [and will do more] but right now i have a dead T500

**bleep**, good call.
I peeked at the three USB ports and noted that one [closest to the RJ45] not only did not have the block on it but the pins were bent. I used a small screwdriver to pull all the pins up, off ground [#4 was on the ground] and the machine booted.
I assume at some point a USB device "borrowed" the little block in the connection, but we kept plugging in the extrenal drive, sometimes seating well, other times not.
We are now up and flying.
Thanks.

IBM T60p Keyboard issue

I am using IBM Thinkpad T60p.
The labtop was working fine till yesterday as suddenly the keyboard started giving problems. When I type for e.g a,b,c the machine types s kjfh; etc. Few of the keys are working, but most of the keys have problems.
I tried pressing the combination of keys (Fn+ Num Lock, SHift + Num Lock) which was suggested on some of the forums. That did not solve the problem.
I tried to restore the machine to the factory default, even then the problem was not solved.
Althought If I connect an external USB key board, the ext keyboard works fine.
Has anybody faced this kind of issue in T60?
Thanks,
VK

Sounds like the keyboard has given up on life and needs to be changed with a new one.

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."
I am not a network expert, so I would appreciate some help.

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.

N8/C7 PURPLE SCREEN ISSUE AND HOW TO SPOT IF YOU H...

MODS THIS IS NOT A POLL OR IN ANYWAY SHAPE OR FORM A VOTING THREAD IT IS A THREAD TO WARN USERS ABOUT THE PURPLE SCREEN ISSUE AND HOW TO SPOT IT IN THEIR PHONES CLEAR AS DAY , I HAVE BEEN INFORMED FROM THE DIRECTOR OF COMUNICATIONS AT NOKIA VIA TWITTER THAT THIS THREAD IS OK AND THE TEST IMAGE IS FINE TO LOAD UP
The following has been added by vandelay (Nokia administrator) :
Please note that there is normally a slight variation in the purple color level in each display
unit. This is related to the display manufacturer's optical tuning process. However, some Nokia C7 and Nokia N8 users seem to be experiencing a
slightly higher level of purple color tint on their device screens.
Nokia Care's technical experts told me that the easiest way to spot this problem is to just look at the black idle screen of the device - if there is a clear purple color tint on the idle screen, you should have the device inspected at a Nokia Care point. They will repair the device the device under warranty if there is a clear defect in the device.
So seeing some purple on the test image does not necessarily mean that your screen is faulty, but we hope that it helps some people to decide whether they should visit a Nokia Care point.
(end of vandelay's addition)
as you may or may not have read many n8s and c7s have a purple tint issue
this can easily be spoted by saving the picture below to your pc , transfering it to your n8/c7 , then viewing the image in your gallery
if the image shows purple squares in some areas then iam afraid you have one of the screens that is showing defects in gradiation of colurs and the greyscale
there are also many n8s out in the wild that dont have this problem , i have 3 n8s , my gfriend has one , hers is perfect and shows the test image with no purple tint at all my three n8s all have purple tint and some display it worse then others
the test image can be viewed on any brightness and it should display just as it does on your monitor screen ,my gfriends n8 displays the image perfect under all brightness levels yet my three n8s show the purple tint heavily on low brightness and not as much on full brightness
the test image can also be viewed via tv out and hdmi out and again if you have a defect screen you will see the image perfect on your tv yet on your n8 screen you will have purple tints
here is the test image for you to load to your device and view via the gallery
as stated above if you have one of the screens with defects in colour gradiation you will see some of the squares as purple
this shouldnt be happending as there n8s out there that display the test image perfectly
from all my research on this in the last month and my time studying ICT systems support in which i have a diploma , it seems clear to me that nokia have used at least two screens in the build of the n8
many phones bought between october launch and december dont have the problem yet there are still some that do but not as many as now , phones bought from the end of december up untill current date seem to have the issue moreand its now nearly impossible to find one without the purple tint issue
this leads me to believe that from the start nokia were using at least two screen in the n8 , then one started to run out around december and by the end of december a huge majority of n8/c7 handsets have the troubles, if not all of them shipped after december
infact ive been to every phone shop in lakeside , chelmsford , colchester which included : carphone warehouse , o2 , vodafone , orange , three , phones4u , tmobile all n8/c7 handsets i asked to look at had the problem not one n8 i looked at didnt have the issue
i have been in contact with nokia care escalation team , all they did is send me very badly refurbed handsets back for my brand new n8s , which across all three handsets had the following faults
#hdmi covers scratched and worn
#no imei number under the hdmi cover on one of them
#torx screws on battery cover very worn
#plastic top caps not fitted right
#one had a huge gap between the silver screen surround and the main chasis of n8
#they all still had purple tint issue
so nokia sent me three refurbed handsets for my brand new n8s , i obvously complained as they were so new i could have taken them back to the shops with the reciept but now nokia had changed the imei numbers my reciept was useless , i said i should be sent three brand new n8s , they again sent me badly refurbed handsets just as bad as the 1st lot and again all three of them had purple screen issues
i complained again and this time supervsior took over the case and agreed that 3 new n8s should be sent to me as mine was so new , she got them sent out and this time they were new but they still have the purple screen issue
thats a toatal 12 n8s direct from nokia and all of them have had the issue so i cant recomend going to a nokia care point or nokia care uk as the refurbs i was sent was a complete joke and looked like they were just used handsets that had been through a rough time
through this month of me talking to nokia and sending emails and getting these phones swapped back to a condition of the phones that i sent them , they have said they are investigating it and taking it seriously however after some of their actions towards users (myself included) on these forums it doesnt seem like they are taking it very serious at all , they have known about it for a month now and we still have not had an offical response from nokia themselves

there are many more threads about this issue across the net and if you google n8 screen problems or n8 purple screen problems you will come acroos many many pages of unhappy users from all across the globe
i just hope nokia sort this out soon
ho do you users with the problem feel about this issue and how do you think nokia should resolve it
id be happy for a screen swap at a nsc or via warranty postal repair as long as it could be done quickly and the user wasnt without their phone for too long after all this is nokias mistake and not the users that bought the phone so all fixes should be at minimal disturbance to them
heres hoping when you test the image your not as unlucky as me and many other n8 owners from across the globe , its a brilliant phone but this screen issue lets it down alot especially during watching films and stuff

sorry to hear you guys are having troubles too , its a shame sucha great device as the nokia n8 has had an issue like this arise , it is effecting alot of n8/c7 handsets and is quite a widespread issue across the globe
it would be great to hear from as many users as possible about this and what they think about it as a user of the c7/n8
jimmyireland about your post mate
yes it was written by me and yes it ws deleted not once but 3or4 times actually
the mods said it was because i had set up a poll and voting system , so i read through forum rules and posted it again with what fitted their guidelines and even put in big caps that it was not a poll but a thread to help users identify a problem and discuss it which is what the forum is for , it was deleted again , i then posted it again with just the test image and how to spot the problem and again put big caps that the post fitted their guidelines and was just to help users , it was again deleted and i was banned by mods for 2 days saying that i had broke forum rules and posted a poll and that the test image wasnt a proper test image
i then asked other users to post the image but when they tryed nokias spam filter kicked in with a message saying that their post contained spam and that they should write it again and try posting again
to be honest it really looked like they were trying to cover up the issue , fair enough my 1st post could be considered a very very rough poll but the posts i made afterwards were edited to fit nokias guidelines and they still removed them ad banned me and then other users posts were marked as spam
so i tweeted alot of people and even nokia have said that as long as the post doesnt contain polls/votes then it will be fine to postand that mods shouldnt delete it , which was excellent news and hopefull this thread will stay and users can load the image and test their screens and then discuss the issue here so nokia can see users discussion in one thread , it will alo help awareness of the issue
hence this post that isnt a poll but a thread to help users identify wether their n8/c7 has a screen with a defect in the gradiation of colours
as stated in original post not all n8s have this problem my gfriends doesnt and it displays the test image perfectly on all brightness settings , yet my n8s show the image as very purple on low brightness and the brighter the screen goes the less the purple is shown , it is still there just not as visible as it is in the lower brightness settings
as i also mentioned many n8s between october and mid december are fine although some still have the problem , yet from mid december till current date the amount of n8s with purple issue is much much higher and it now seems very very rare that you will get a brand new n8 from the shops without this screen issue which leads me to believe that from launch nokia have used at least two screens in the builds of the n8 , some great screens and then the ones with dodgy purple tint , from the threads across the web it seems like the good screens nokia were using either run out or they have failed to source the same screen or the manufactuer of the screen has changed something
iam not a nokia hater and iam not here to cause trouble or loose nokia sales etc
i love nokia have used them for years and used symbian since the 6680 , iam always helping users across the web with their nokia problems and am an avid user on nokia users please check my profile and feel free to check my posts and how many times ive been thanked for being helpfull

as you can see i love nokia and spend alot of time using their devices , speaking highly of them and helping their users with problems, i also love good customer services and customer relations
i understand that big companys have build issues iam a gadget lover and trained in ict supprt iam not silly and understand that these things happend and building these phones with such complicated electronics and some could end up with issues , it could happend to anyone , sony , apple , samsung , blackberry , lg etc etc
however its how the companys react to these issues and relate to their customers that have spent 100s of pounds on their devices that is important , issues do arise , its how the company looks after its customers thats important
i think alot of users think the same , they dont expect nokia to click their fingers and go heres a fix but they do expect nokia to investigate the issue and they do expect nokia to relate to its customers and not ignore them or the issue which is what it looks like when posts are deleted and users are banned for posting informative posts that help users identify a problem
things like sending users really bad refurbs for brand new n8s also dont help users confidence in nokia statement of going to nokia care about the problem as all i got was second hand looking n8s that still have the problem they were sent off with and the originals were in much better condition
like i say iam not here to cause trouble and i love nokia the n8 is the best phone ive ever had and its almost my dream device and everything ive wanted on a device for years its the ultimate convergance device and agadget lovers dream , however when you see your gfriends and some of your mates n8 screens display the test image perfect then your n8 display it with a very purple hue it does dissapoint you and you do hope that nokia will take notice and fix the issue with the least amunt of hassle to the users
cheers jimmy and sorry about the long post just wanted to clear some things up
now lets get back to discussing the issue and what other users think about it
have a great evening

The Windows 7 Black Screen Issue

I am putting in Bootcamp with a Windows 7 install. I checked these forums and made sure I had all my prep work done.
I referenced article TS3173 and downloaded the neccessary drivers for 7, formatted a 16GB SD Card as FAT Bootable and copied the drivers and autounattend.xml files onto the root of the drive.
THe installation as going as planned but at the end I'm still ending up with a black screen. Windows is installed ok but on the restart after" Preparing for FIrst Use" comes up the screen goes black.
Obviously, the drivers are not being installed from the SD card, I tried it on a USB External driver as well. Am I missing something here? I read every post I could find on it and I can't see where I am doing anything incorrectly.
Thanks
Tom

You don't need Paragon or another NTFS driver. That may work (I've used it, but I was using a full hard drive anyway to begin with).
Apple's method:

The Windows 7 installer does not include required graphics or Bluetooth drivers for this computer. To obtain the necessary drivers and resolve the issue, see this article (creating the SD card and drivers for the "black screen" issue).

Flickering Screen issue after Mavericks update released on Feb 26, 2014

I own a Macbook Retina display bought in early 2014. After installing the recent Maverick update released around Feb 26, 2014 the display developed flickering problem while scrolling and now the scrolling is not smooth any more. The originally shipped machine did not have this problem. I tested other software including Photoshop and the display still flickers while panning the canvas. I also tried resetting the SMC - System Management Controller but it didn't work along with other attempts of resetting the disk permissions, running a systems cleaner, changing the wifi-router etc.
How to fix this flickering screen issue?

The problem came back lately and I tried this solution and it worked. Go to system settings > power saver > and switch off the Automatic Graphic switching. Not sure if this is a good solution, but it seem to have worked for the time being.

Gray screen issue still in Reader 11.0.03

Hi, it sounds like the PDF gray screen issue mentioned here: http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/pdf-opens-grey-screen-browser.html
has been fixed in 10.1.3. Has it been fixed in 11.0.03? I have the latest Xi version installed and am still experiencing this problem.

Hi, C F McBlob,
Thanks for the help and the suggestion. I turned on Compatibility View in IE and I still see the gray screen. The ActiveX control should take the same setting that I've set in the browser, right?
Also, shouldn't it be an Adobe issue rather than an IE issue if the exact same setup works with Adobe 9?

White screen issue on Compag

My Compaq is currently displaying only a white screen. The laptop boots up fine and displays fine on an external monitor.
I have taken it apart and reseated the connectors on both the screen and the motherboard with no effect. So I am sure it's not a loose connection.
Before I go and splash out on a new replacement screen, is this an issue that is usually seen when the screen itself is at fault. Could it be the cable? or the connection on the motherboard itself. Is there a way to be certain?
I don't want to buy a new screen and find it's not at fault.
Many thanks!

Hello, @Skyfox
Welcome to the HP Forums.
I see that you have a white screen issue with the notebook. I will try to assist you.
With the steps you've taken and the fact it works correctly with an external, leaves only the display screen as the possible cause. That being said, there is no 100% way to know that it is not a cable causing the issue.
Typical steps for this issue:
Restart notebook
Hard reset notebook
Test with external monitor
Reconnect LCD cables and check all other display cables
Have notebook serviced.
You're at the point of service. This really limits the options, and a display replacement may not correct the issue.
I hope this adds any insight to the choice you need to make next.
Thank you for posting on the HP Forums.
