X61 A/C Adapter on an X1?

Can I use an X61 A/C adapter to charge an X1? I have a few spare X61 adapters lying around - and it would be nice if I could use them with my new X1.
The X61 adapter states 65W 20V with Input of 100-240V and Output of 20V
My current X1 adapter states 90W 20V with Input of 100-240V and Output of 20V.
Thanks!

yes you can. But the battery charging time will increase.
FYI, i use my 65 watt adapter when i am at home.

Old X61 90w ac adapters versus current x230/x220 adapters in weight/size?

I'm having trouble pinning this down because of the number of 'offbrand' units.
Has the size or weight of the 90w adapters changed since the release x61/x61 tablet?
Solved!

Hey Shiren,
If you take a look at the link below you will see that the x61 tablet 90w adapter for US/Canda is 40Y7659 and the X230/x220 90w adapter has the same number (see link two).

http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/product-and-parts/detail.page?&LegacyDocID=MIGR-61193
So they are really the same adapter and weight/size are the same:
Approximate height: 30 mm (1.2 in) - AC Adapter
Approximate width: 50 mm (2.0 in) - AC Adapter
Approximate length: 126 mm (5.0 in) - AC Adapter
Weight: 360 g (0.79 lb) - AC Adapter (weight does not include the country-unique AC power cord)
Approximate length: 1.0 m (39.4 in) - AC Power Cord
for both.

Win 7 x64 Driver for a 32bit CF Cardbus Adapter (x61)

Does anyone know where I can get a Win 7 x64 driver for a 32bit CF cardbus adapter mounted in the Lenovo x61 internal multicard reader?
I am running Win 7 x64 on a Lenovo X61 7675-CTO. I have an Viking 32 Bit High Speed Compact Flash Cardbuss Adapter inserted in the internal multicard reader. When I insert a CF card in the reader, I get "Mass Storage Controller" and "drivers for this device are not installed" error indicators from the Windows Device Manager.
This configuration was working fine for me under Win XP x32. I read the suggestion posted to another thread that one can downgrade to Win 7 x32, but I am hoping for a X64 solution. I have already installed the "6iio10ww" Intel Matrix Storage Manager Driver for Windows 7 (64-bit). The problem seems to be that Viking has not released a x64 driver for this product. It seems Microsoft should have installed the proper driver during the OS install since this device was around before the Win 7 was introduced.
Can anyone suggest a source for the proper driver or an alternative CF card cardbus adapter known to work with Win 7 x64 OS?

Thanks!

X61 Hang when not using AC adapter

X61 will hang (on the login page, sometimes when using the laptop halfway), when not using AC adapter.I've format the system, install drivers (system update) and application.
anyone encounter this issue?

I notice if I disable Atmel TPM (from Device Manager), the system works normal when not connect to AC adapter.
I did not have most of the Lenovo software installed. Only have System Update, Fingerprint software & Power Manager.
Will there be any issue if I disable the Atmel TPM ?

CF Adapter for x61 (Sandisk 4gb Extreme III)

I wish to use install a compact flash adapter on my x61 for downloading photographs. I have had no success in locating any which will work with my Sandisk 4gb Extreme III Compact Flash drives.
I have a functional USB adapter, but want a solution that is compact and more efficient for travel purposes -- something like a PCMCIA card (which can be inserted internally).
In fact, I have been unable to determine what is the actual type of the PCMCIA look-a-like slot on left side of my x61.
I will be grateful if anyone is able to assist with answers to either of these questions.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

PCMCIA is actually pretty slow with compactflash cards like the extreme III. instead look for a cardbus to CF adapter. you'll get about 3~4x faster transfer speeds over PCMCIA (roughly 12 MB/sec vs. 3~4 MB/sec).
fwiw, an external USB CF reader will transfer at around 15~17 MB/sec.
i've personally tested all of the above using sandisk extreme III and extreme IV CF cards. i gave up shooting film about six years ago.

X60s vs. X61s battery - cover & foot are different? I there an adapter plate?

I just aquired an X61s and the installed battery (8 cell - it extends out the back) is a bit odd.
It snaps in fine and works OK, but there is a gap at the left end (with laptop upside down) about 1/4" wide, and the battery pack that stands a bit proud of the bottom of the unit only has one foot on it which is on the right side...
It was suggested to me that I may have an X60s battery instead of the X61s style....
Looking on the Lenovo site it seems they take the same P/N
(actually I could not find a battery marked for the X61s, but only for the X60 "series" )
Has anyone else run into this?
Is there an adapter plate that might fix this?
THANKS!

AC Adapter for T430 -- which FRU to choose

I just purchased an extra adapater for my T430, as well as a docking station. I used the wizard on the site to select the ac adapater, but noticed that the FRU/Part Number differs from the one that came with the laptop. All three adapaters (the one that came with the laptop, the extra one I got from Lenovo, and the one that came with the dock station), all have similar output voltages (20V at 4.5A), but the input voltages vary slightly (the original one is 1.2A input at 50/60hz, whereas the two other ones are rated at 1.5A at 50/60hz. Is this slight difference a concern?
I mainly don't want to risk burning out the laptop. But again, these are the adapaters that were suggested by Lenovo's site. They all output the same amount (the 20V at 4.5A).
Should I be concerned. I cannot seem to find a Lenovo branded AC adapater that exactly matches the FRU / Part number of the one that came with my computer. Does that FRU maybe indiciate that it was bundled with a computer and NOT sold separately as an additional adapater.
Suggestions, ideas, opinions? Am I ok to use the other adapaters that I purchased even though the input rating is slightly higher and the FRU/Part numbers are different? (All power adapaters are the 90W models, which my computer requires since i have the NVidia NVS Quadro video card with nVidia Optimus technology).
Solved!

As long as you have a genuine Lenovo 90W (20V x 4.5A) adapter you should be fine. I don't know why the input current draws differ. It may be that the circuitry in one is more efficient than in the other. Nevertheless what's important is the output voltage and current (or wattage) rating,
Many people use adapters from their previous ThinkPad as an extra adapter for their new one. People in office environments often use each other's adapters, either intentionally or by accident. This sort of interchangeability is common. If it caused damage to ThinkPads then that too would be a common situation and there would be warnings about the risk of swapping adapters. I've never seen either.
Incidentally, even a smaller 65W adapter will power your T430 under most circumstances. But it's simply not powerful enough to power your T430 under all circumstances, e.g. if you're running CPU/GPU intensive work while watching a DVD and charging the battery, all at the same time.

Question about X-series with the bundled 65W adapter, gets very hot

Hi all,
My company purchased many X230 notebook in last year.
some are standard configuration (i3 CPU) and some are (i5 CPU).
The i3 seems to have no problem.
However, the i5 model had some issue that it can't full run all the 4-core in high load when connecting the bundled 65W AC adapter, and the adapter got hot. After investigation, we change to 90W AC adapter and the problem is gone. All the 4-core runs correctly and the 90W AC adapter is cool.
The reseller said that the 65W should be factory package and they will not provide any warranty if we use it incorrectly with the 90W adapter (but the lenovo homepage says the adapter supports....).
Now, we are considering the X230i model with the same upgrade to i5 CPU.
Can someone provide feedback if using the X230 / X230i + i5 CPU normally with 65W AC adapter?
Regards,
Donald

Could this be the same or related issue?
I have a T430s with integrated graphics and dual core i5 CPU. According to Lenovo sales literature this system will work with a 65W AC adapter. Also when I ordered the system online from Lenovo's site I was also given the option to select either a 65W or 90W adapter.
At the office I use a 90W adapter. The system idles at under 40°C with the fan usually not spinning or spinning at slowest setting (according to TPFanControl) even when the system is under load. It may get as hot as 50°C when the system is under heavy load. But I've never seen it overheat or had the fan spin continuously at maximum speed, etc.
When travelling I use a 65W adapter in order to minimize size and weight. In that situation the fan is always running and temperatures are usually in the 50°C to 60°C range. On more than one occasion system temperature has "run away" getting increasingly hotter, going to 80°C or 90°C.
In one case the system shut itself down. I let it cool down overnight. When I rebooted I got a fan error. After that incident I sent the T430s to Lenovo for repair. The technicians found nothing wrong. From their report it's not clear if they replaced the fan or not. Nevertheless this "run away" temperature situation has recurred since then.
From reading posts on this thread and based on my experiences with the T430s it seems to me that the 65W adapter doesn't have enough power for even a basic T430s despite what Lenovo's marketing literature may say.
I wonder if the same conclusion doesn't also apply to your systems? Do your temperature issues go away when your system runs on a 90W adapter?

Can I use 90w power adapter interchangeably with my 65w computer?

I have two Thinkpads:
1) T400 that has a 90w 20v power adapater
2) T430S that has a 65w 20v power adapter
Can I use the chargers interchangeably on the computers? Are there any concerns, side effects? My assumption is that using the 65w on the T400 will take longer to charge the battery. More importantly, I would like to know if there will be any damage if I use the 90w charger on the T430S.
Thanks.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

You can interchange them without harming either ThinkPad. Note that there will be limitations with a 65W adapter:
1. It will take longer to recharge the battery.
2. It may not be powerful enough to power/recharge certain configurations, e.g. with i7 processors and/or discrete graphics processors.
3. It may not be powerful enough to power/recharge certain types of usage, e.g. when watching a DVD while at the same time running HDD intensive applications.
4. Certain features, e.g. RapidCharge on the T430s, won't work.

Voltage converters/AC/DC Combo Adapter

Hi folks,
I need a converter/AC/DC adapter for my X61 to convert from 110 to 220 volts.
What came with my laptop was an AC adapter that says 65W 20V
Will that work in Grenada (Caribbean) and South America?
Also, would the 90 W slim AC/DC Combo adapter with a Blackberry tip from Lenovo work in a 220V country?
If neither one will work, can you tell me what I need to purchase?
I don't know anything about this conversion stuff so all help will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance,
Belize Me

If this is a Lenovo X61 power adapter it should say "INPUT: 100-240V~" in the small print under where it says "65W 20V" i.e. you do not need a CONVERTER, but you will need a plug ADAPTER, since the power plugs are different shapes.
Here is a nice Wiki with a map showing what you need in each country.

X61 suddenly started to BSOD on login

My sixth month old X61 suddenly started to blue screen as I (or the administrator) logged in this weekend.
It happens after accepting the password (or fingerprint scan) as Windows sets up the session.
I originally thought this might have been due to SP3 which I installed several weeks ago, so I downrevved back to SP2, and even updated to all the latest drivers from Lenovo with no luck.
It seems to work quite happily in SAFE mode with networking.
Any obvious things I should attempt before wipe and restore ?

No wireless adapter after clean install

I have an X61 and did a clean install of Windows Vista Ultimate and now my internal wireless adapter card is not showing in my device manager. It worked before the install, so I know the hardware is there. What do I do?

Inside your device manager, do you have Yellow Question Marks next to other devices or any issues with your chipset drivers.
The WiFi adapter drivers are useless if the chipset that supports the socket, that supports the WiFi card are malfunctioning or missing.
Hopefully, you aren't being encumbered by user mode privileges and you've thoroughly executed the system in manager / Admin mode and experienced the same issues.
