Where to Get Lenovo T420 Parts?

I need a 04W1640 (rubber rails for 7.0mm hard drive in 9.5mm bay) for my Lenovo T420.
I called the number listed for parts on the Lenovo website, and they said they didn't sell that part (they sell others, but not that one).
What is the best place to get that sort of thing?  This question is especially applicable because my computer is aging and parts will get harder to find as time goes by ...

  • Lenovo T420, Type 4177 Review

    Lenovo T420, Type 4177-CTO. Windows 7 Pro, 64 bit.  8 GB RAM,  500 GB HD, third party 128 GB SSD added.
    After inspecting many laptops I chose the ThinkPad T420. The only better laptop was Apple and I needed different software.
    An important consideration for any computer is support. Lenovo has excellent support at 1-800-426-7378. Tech support and repair happens right here in the United States.  Repairs are done in Tennessee.
    The Lenovo ThinkPad T420 is a solid laptop. It is not as light as some laptops but strength and durability need to be considered. Weight of machine with a large 6 cell battery and a slice battery = 6 lb. 7 oz. (3060 kg). The laptop weighs 5 lb. 5 oz. (2430 kg) with just the large 6 cell battery. The 6 cell battery weighs 1 lb. 1.5 oz. (500kg) and the 6 cell battery would then weigh 1/3 less. You can compute the difference. Keep in mind my battery life with the slice battery installed is about 17 hours. The slice battery also places the laptop on a slight angle with the rear elevated. It is about the same tilt as with the docking station. You cannot have the slice battery installed while the laptop in in the docking station.
    The 6 cell battery sticks out the back so it is not a perfect cosmetic fit. The 4 cell battery will look nicer, be lighter and probably last about 4 hours.
    The overall design is perfect in my opinion. I find no problems. The T420 uses the LED night light that shines from the top of the display to the keyboard area. It can be turned on and off with the Fn function key. There are many Fn function keys that are great. I really like the Fn-Space bar that magnifies the display.
    The speakers are well positioned and are adequate. They could have higher volume considering where they are installed.
    I really like the Lenovo mouse pad and mouse button configuration.  I wish the mouse speed adjustment would go a little faster but it is acceptable. Some laptops I tested are far too slow, even with the mouse settings as fast as they go. The T420 has the best mouse operation of any laptop.
    The Windows Pro 7 operating system and Lenovo will only allow one set of recovery disks. Do your backup recovery disks with good quality DVDs. Lenovo will provide a set of recovery disks if you need them.  DVD-RAM is not supported by the Recovery Disks, but SSD drives are supported. The Lenovo T420 is designed to run on SSD drives.
    Recovery Data notes.  If you stop in the middle of Disk 4, you will have the first 3 disks and you can still make a copy of all 4 disks. At the end of disk 4 the computer turns Recovery disk copy off. You cannot make more copies.
    Disc 1, Boot Media
    Disc 2, Recovery Media 1
    Disc 3, Recovery Media 2
    Disc 4, Recovery Media 3
    Notes:
    HD Boot time = 41.4 seconds
    SSD Boot time = 29.6 seconds
    This is with little software installed. With more programs installed the boot up time will increase. Keep in mind the first phase of boot up consists of BIOS and hardware communications. With many programs installed the SSD will really be nice.  The Registry loading will be totally SSD dependent and fast.
    HD partitions and size before SSD installation.
    Lenovo Recovery partition = 9.67GB used + 5.94GB free = 15.63GB
    System Drive partition = 3.34MB used + 865MB free = 1.17GB
    Local Disk C partition = 27.9 GB used + 420 GB free = 448.96 GB
    Total GB = 465.76

    Adding SSD card
    (I used the MyDigitalSSD 128GB 50mm Bullet Proof mSATA  PCI-e drive. Some SSDs are a little faster but cost much more.)
    Install SSD
    Initialized SSD card in My Computer, Manage, Disk Drives
    Turn off laptop and remove HD
    Boot to Recovery discs
    Restore to factory default. (The Recovery disks only have the SSD to restore to)
    When finished you can test the operation of your laptop on the SSD drive. Test by going into your BIOS to make sure you know how to get there. Boot using F1 for BIOS setup.
    Turn off the laptop and install the hard drive.
    Boot to BIOS (Do this first before booting Windows)
    Remove HD from boot sequence. Go ahead and setup your boot sequence to something like SSD, DVD, and then USB, etc. Do not include the HD
    Then I go to My Computer, Manage, Disk Drives and I do some major changes here.
    You must make your own decisions. The SSD drive is prime real-estate and a 20GB recovery partition is out of the question (for me). The Recovery discs have been created. I decided to merge partitions on the SSD drive. Windows 7 Pro will handle this easily on the active drive. Now, there are actually 2 smaller partitions and the smaller 1GB partition cannot be removed. Apparently the operating system needs it. The larger 19GB partition can easily be removed and added to the C drive. No 3rd party partitioning software is needed with Windows 7 Professional.  Go to Start, right click My Computer, left click Manage. Select Disk Management. Select the Lenovo_Recovery partition and remove it. Now select the primary partition (C: drive) and select merge. Use the full size of the deleted partition space. The System_Drv partition could not be removed on my SSD. It is only 1.17GB and probably essential.  
     Change drive letters in Manage, Disk Management. Fortunately the main drive was named the C drive. I do not think you can change the drive letter of the active drive partition for some operating systems. After reinstalling the HD there is no telling what letter Windows will give it. Rename it to D drive if you want to. You can also remove the Recovery partition on the hard drive. I decided to depend totally on my backup restore DVDs and knowing Lenovo would send me another copy if needed.
    The computer controls the use of the 2 video card functions but it can also be controlled in the BIOS.
    Your warrantee is not void if you install the memory or SSD.  The machine is designed for those additions.  The installation of my extra memory was a tight fit. Be careful. Don’t use metal tools or do anything stupid.
    Notes: Boot to F11 for recovery. F12 for selecting boot device. Boot using F1 for BIOS setup. The ThinkAdvantage button takes you to a variety of places. I don’t really know where it goes.
    Now if you are looking for the User’s Guide you will only find the Hardware Manual. It takes the place of the User Guide and is formatted a little differently. It is OK.
    Most other attributes of the laptop are on the selection menus on the Lenovo web site. You can get just about anything you want except the T420 did not have a Blu Ray player at the time I ordered mine. It did not have a GPS option but it could be obtained via 3G subscriptions using telephone towers. If you want a real GPS you can buy many 3rd party USB modules that will tell you where you are at using global satellites.

  • Lenovo T420 - Batteries

    I've just bought a refurbished Lenovo T420. The specs include an Intel i5- 2520m processor, 2.50GHZ CPU, 8GB of RAM and 500GB HDD.
    The reviews I've read are excellent, but they all praise the battery life of the 9 celled T420 (10 hours battery life, hard to beat etc.), but the T420 I've bought is 6 celled - Can anyone tell me what the battery life of the 6 celled T420 is?
    Also, whether the 6 celled battery is interchangeable with a 9 celled variant if I wanted to purchase one in the future (and which 9 celled batter to purchase). 
    Thank you for reading.

    Hi there, all T420 and T420i laptops use the same type battery. (T420s and T420si models use a different battery). You simply need to look for battery "70++" which is the 9-cell version for your T420. (70+ is the 6-cell version). Useful battery guide provided by Lenovo here:
    Batteries and Battery Charger - Reference Guide
    http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/product-and-parts/detail.page?&LegacyDocID=MIGR-4TCMN7
    When shopping for batteries it's best to get a Genuine Lenovo battery whenever possible. The after-market, replacement batteries are often of inferior quality, and often not held to the same safety standards during the manufacturing process as the O.E.M. batteries. They may even cause your laptop to overheat, or behave erratically. T420 system service parts has a few FRU P/N (part numbers) for the 9-cell battery but is a bit outdated in listing "55++" model numbers. While "55++" batteries will fit, they have been superseded/ replaced by the more newly manufactured "70++" batteries. See my post here for a slight elaboration on that: http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/T400-T500-and-newer-T-series/Battery-failed-with-99-capacity/m-p/1614594...
    So just look for a Genuine Lenovo battery with the "70++" red dot logo and you will be OK.  Some unscrupulous Hong Kong or Chinese vendors regularly counterfeit/ sell "knock-off" (fake) batteries even using the Lenovo logo so be careful. Here is a picture of a New, Genuine 70++ battery I recently shipped to a customer:

  • [SOLVED] Blank screen since full update Lenovo T420

    I just did a full update after a couple of months on my Lenovo T420. The update was successful, no errors reported. I decided to reboot for good measure because the kernel probably changed. I was met with a blank black screen right when the BIOS hands it off to arch, no usual scrolling messages. I've waited over 30 minutes on it, no hard drive activity.
    Ctrl-Alt-Fx don't work.
    How do I proceed from here? I assume I can load some livecd and look up a log somewhere. Where should I look?
    Any help is appreciated.
    Edit: I was able to boot into it by rolling back to the previous kernel 3.12.1-3. However, now it gives 'Failed to Start Load Kernel Modules' during boot.
    Edit 2: The error message is gone after I downgraded tp_smapi to 0.41.39
    Last edited by dave_null (2014-02-04 06:14:24)

    So I installed linux-lts, and it solved the issue. I get full resolution console and X now. So I guess the latest kernel has a bug in it. Unfortunate.

    Where are you located?
    Just go and buy an iTunes gift card at any store in your country.
    Then follow all the steps you did, but when it asks you for the credit card number, there shoujld be a GIFT CARD option which will let you load your account witht eh funds form the gift card without providing a credit/debit card #.

  • Can I get rid of parts of the JRE for my app?

    I am trying to figure out how to easily deploy a stand-alone desktop Swing application. It's more like Microsoft Word than the typical Swing business app that deals with networks and databases. I'd like to make this easily downloadable by regular people, like a 10-year old who has installed an IM client, or a 70-year old who has downloaded the latest version of a browser, i.e., just download an installation file and then click to install in the relatively standard manner in which Windows apps are installed.
    What I am definitely trying to avoid is making the user go to Sun's Java distribution website, which is written by computer geeks for computer geeks. If a potential user sees that, they'll get confused, give-up, and I'll have lost a potential user.. Since a Swing application that is developed and tested using an earlier version of the JRE won't necessarily work with a later version, I can't make the assumption that as long as the latest JRE is installed on the user machine, everything is fine. As far as I can tell, I need to download a self-contained version of the JRE that I developed with in order to guarantee that the app will run as expected. I also don't want the user to have to download a 15 Mb 1.5 JRE, or the purported 50 Mb 1.6 JRE just to be able to run my little program. (I'm really starting to see why there are no popular Java desktop apps.)
    So my question is - if I compile my application down into machine code from binary code, does anyone know if can I get away with running it with a stripped-down JRE? I'm wondering if I can get rid of parts of the JRE that deal with things like interpreting bytecode, networking or database access, none of which I need to worry about. Sun's legal department might not like this, but is this at all technically feasible? I'm actually happy to hear about any ideas regarding shrinking the size of the distribution. Thanks.

    I voted for the enhancement request. It is almost exactly what I am concerned with.
    I am a big fan of Excelsior Jet. I tried out the free version about a year-and-a-half ago, and was pretty happy with it. It was actually the only machine-code compiler I tried out of several that worked. If I ever get to the point where I can start selling my app, I expect that I'll use it. I've been checking the website every so often since then, and reading about the next version, where a JRE can be included in the distribution. That helped spark my original question. While the worry about making sure my application had the right JRE version will be solved, it still bugs me that I have to ship so much unnecessary JRE code. (I blame Sun for that, not Excelsior Jet.) I was wondering if it was at all technically feasible to strip out the unnecessary code, irrespective of the legal issues. When compiled to byte-code, my program is under 1 MB. When I compiled it to machine code under JDK 1.4, it was about 5 MB. I imagine that compiling to machine-code with the included 1.5 JRE, after compression, will result in a size in the 15-20 MB range. And this after refactoring my program to where it's about 1/3 it's original size. I'm really worried about the direction this is going, and I don't even want to think about what including the 1.6 JRE will require.
    Where did you read that I've been programming Java since '97. I was a contractor at Sun between 1995 and 1997, and started working on Java 1.0 apps back then, but I don't ever remember mentioning that. If you asked because you're thinking I should know more about JVM/JRE issues, you're probably right, but I focus almost exclusively on higher-level application and GUI/Graphics issues. The deep-down Java stuff makes me break out into a cold-sweat.

  • 8i: where to get on-line docs?

    Does anyone know where to get the on-line docs that usually come
    as part of an Oracle Server install? They don't appear to come
    with Linux download or CD.
    I found the extensive PDF docs in the Technet documentation
    section. They are nice BUT Netscape/Acrobat appears to have some
    problems browsing large PDF files AND I have gotten very use to
    using the HTML based docs that came with my Oracle 7.3.4. I'm
    hoping the equivalent docs are available (or will be available)
    for 8i on Linux.
    Alternatively, if Oracle could produce the PDF's with the
    deliver "page-at-a-time" features enabled the PDF's would be
    easier to use.

  • Is it possible to deconstruct an existing video to get its component parts?

    I made a video http://gallery.mac.com/lorna6#100193 years ago from footage taken in about 2000 and 2001. In a prior thread I mentioned having somehow losing the AUDIO component. Well, disturbingly, I went and watched the video from my old iMovie '06 and discovered that it was the video clips that were missing, not the audio. In the picture below, those black frames represent no video to be seen. I think that the exclamation mark in the yellow circle means the same thing or that something went awry.
    Here is a picture of the clips in the work space part -- the upper left quadrant, of my iMovie '06 project.
    To clarify: I forgot how I made that video because it was so long ago. I know from reading about iMovie '09 that I will probably do more videos on it because it sounds less complex but equally good for the most part.
    Someone in this forum, John, encouraged me to go over the highlights of that old video using the iMovie '09 program and I liked that idea........ so you can imagine my dismay when I returned to the program, opened it up, and now see that I lack not the audio, but the most precious video.
    Sadly, the original footage is lost due to external hard drive crashes. I might have kept a memory chip that had it but after all these years and me being disorganized, I do not know where it is.
    Is there a way that I can use the iMovie 06 video that you see at my Mobile Me Gallery to extract the clips and the audio? Or if not the audio, then at least all of the video clips? *Is it possible to deconstruct an existing video to get its component parts?*
    ~L

    I have had a series of iMovie applications but I used them all too infrequently, partly out of Fear of Trying. Now with the iMovie '09 out, I think I can do it. Yes, I know that I made the Cheyenne video with a previous app, but I found it confusing at times, and look now and see how I bollixed it up, losing some clips in ways I do not know.

    That's a miniDV camera, which uses tape. It's very similar to my earlier camera, as listed in my details below - the Sony DCR-TRV20. I now mainly use a high definition AVCHD Sony HDR-SR7 - that's why I've switched from iMovie HD 6 to iMovie '09.
    .......... Lorna says ...........................
    John, I call that a Pandoa's Box paragraph up there! First of all, I am left thinking that the type of videocam that I use will determine which kind of iMovie application I use. Yes? Can I assume that since you with your Sony DC-TRV20 have high definition AVCHD, then my DC-TRV11 might also have it.
    I have my user manual in front of me and looked in the Index for both HD and AVC (what is the C in AVC?), and neither is listed. I cannot find anywhere in the manual that tells whether my mini digital TRV11 also has high def AVDHC.
    How important is that in using the new iMovie '09? If my Sony does not have it, then does that simply mean that I cannot make use of the HD capability of iMovie '09?
    All of this would have been a moot question because earlier I had decided to just use the video component in my Canon digital camera, but then getting my Sony mini digital out and seeing and touching it, and remembering it worked, I began thinking that maybe I should use the camera video for when I am away from home and the Sony for when I am here at home.
    There is one thing I would say about HD: It is a memory gobbler, and if you make videos for YouTube, you might feel the constraints within that platform. It might be better for showing things to family and friends on your home tv with no megabyte or time restrictions.
    You/John C. continued writing:
    Your thoughts on archiving and backup sound sensible Lorna. I must admit, I don't backup as often as I should. I've been using the old Apple Backup program, but am considering moving to Time Machine, with an appropriate hard drive to match - maybe Time Capsule like you are using.
    .......... Lorna says ...........................
    John,if you decide to get Time Capsule to work wirelessly and continuously with Time Machine, then I suggest you consider a 2 terabyte capacity. I began using the Apple Back up but found it confusing and ultimately insufficient.
    You/John C continued writing:
    Currently (as listed below), I have 4 external hard drives - 3 are FireWire 400 and the largest one is FW 800. None of these has ever given me a problem (touch wood) - they are LaCie 120GB (not your favourite!), and 3 Maxtor's - 250GB, 300GB and 1TB. The 1TB drive is RAID enabled, having two 500GB drives in the enclosure, which I'm effectively using as one drive, that is, one is not a mirror of the other - so if one fails I've lost all the data! A good reason for using Time Machine.
    .......... Lorna says ...........................
    John I still am not clear on what RAID is and I guess I will Google it to find out. What is the purpose of having two separate drives housed in a shell? Is it about saving space? Or is it about ports? Or what?
    Of course, if you get the one that was mentioned by someone earlier, than it would warn you when something is about to go wrong and you could act pre-emptively. But that was suggested for a business or a pro, neither of which I am.
    You/John C wrote:
    As my HD camera is a hard drive model (60GB), I archive the footage to the Maxtor 1TB drive, using iMovie's "Archive All" feature. From there, it's easy to import clips into an Event, which is also stored on the Maxtor - so double jeopardy! I had better get cracking on updating my backup strategy
    .......... Lorna says ...........................
    I am lost. What do you mean, your HC camera is a hard drive model? And what you wrote sounds like something important that I should understand more precisely. I am thinking that the salesguy at Best Buy was right: I should get yet another hard drive in which to store specifically and only my homemade video stuff, my iTunes, and my photographs. I don't know how I would do that, though, if I want them to be stored ALSO IN MY 2TERABYTE SEAGATE as a double archive.

  • Where to get v.4 pls

    How do I downgrade to Safari 4? And where to get it?? version 5 is really really bad. It slows down my entire system. (I dont have any 3rd party plugins or whatever)

    Don't give up on it yet!
    If your Safari keeps crashing, or if you are updating Safari (or just have) and it is misbehaving:
    N.B. Never delete Safari, never run it under Rosetta, don't use proxy settings, and don't change the application's name or move it from the top level of the Applications Folder to a sub-folder.
    (If you prefer to download updates via Software Update in the Apple menu (which would ensure that the correct version for your Mac was being downloaded), it is not recommended to allow SU to install major (or even minor) updates automatically. Set Software Update to just download the updater without immediately installing it. There is always the possibility that the combined download and install (which can be a lengthy process) might be interrupted by a power outage or your cat walking across the keyboard, and an interrupted install will almost certainly cause havoc. Once it is downloaded, you can install at a time that suits you. You should make a backup copy of the updater on a CD in case you ever need a reinstall. Alternatively you can download Safari directly:
    Safari 4.1.2 for Tiger can be downloaded here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1069
    Safari 5.0.2 for Leopard (and Snow Leopard) can be downloaded from here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1070
    Make sure you download the correct version for your system.
    Also, observe the recommended procedure for installing software: repair permissions and close all applications, install, then repair permissions again.)
    Input Managers and other plug-ins from third parties can do as much harm as good. They use a security loophole to reach right into your applications' code and change that code as the application starts up. If Safari is crashing, the very first thing to do is clear out your InputManagers folders (both in your own Library and in the top-level Library), log out and log back in, and try again.
    So, disable all third party add-ons before updating Safari, as they may not have been updated yet for the new version. Add them back one by one. If something goes awry, remove it again and check on the software manufacturer's website for news of an update to match your version of Safari. Remember: Tiger up to 10.4.10 used Safari 2.0.4 or, if you downloaded it, Safari 3.0.3 beta. Safari 10.4.11 used Safari 3.0.4 which was not a beta and which was updated to v.3.1.2, and now Tiger uses Safari 4.1.2 and Leopard uses Safari 5.0.2, as does Snow Leopard albeit a different version. If these latest versions of Safari are not the fastest browser you have ever used, then something is wrong!
    (Trying to revert to a previous version of Safari can have repercussions, as previous versions of Safari used a completely different webkit on which other applications like iChat, Mail, Dashboard Widgets etc also rely, but if you really want to do this post back for instructions on the safe way to do so.)
    Most errors reported here after an update are due to an unrepaired or undetected inherent fault in the system, and/or a third party ad-on. Add-ons that have been frequently mentioned here, among others, for causing such problems are Piclens, Saft, AcidSearch and Pithhelmet, and the dreaded CT Toolbar. If you have them, trash them and go the developer's sites to see if new versions are available for the latest version of Safari on your current operating system.
    You must also ensure that you have downloaded and installed all the correct version for your Mac of Security Updates. These require a restart and a permission repair.
    To reiterate, Input Managers reach right into an application and alter its code. This puts the behavior of the affected application outside the control and responsibility of its developers: a recipe for problems. That's not to say that issues absolutely will ensue as a result of Input Managers, but you, as a user, must decide. If the functionality of a specific Input Manager or set thereof is really important to you, you may well choose to assume the associated risk.
    Again, the advice is to remove all Input Managers from the following directories:
    • Hard Disk/Library/InputManagers
    • Home/Library/InputManagers
    especially prior to system updates and updates to Safari (they can always be added back one-by-one later).
    Lastly, the Safari updates require a restart of your Mac, and sometimes even a double restart is required.
