Hah! So nice to see "IBM ThinkPad Mobile Computing Club" here! 

Where can i immediately buy a compatible RAM (1GB) to add on to my ThinkPad T42, sytem model 2373P43? Kesington ram don't work on my machine. Do you reckon I should add 2GB straight away?

Please advice what's the cost and best place to get it - 1GB and 2GB so i can compare price. And with contact numbers too so I can call to check if they have it before I go all the way and to find it's "out of stock." Thanks!

And am signing in too! Here's the image of my wonderful machine...

Wa bro, i like your SuperMan logo le! where u get it de ah? isit plastic or paper base sticker?

My ThinkPad came with only 512MB of RAM. Later on I added another 512MB to make it run at dual channel. In order for me to ensure maximum compatibility, I make sure that the RAM specifications and chipsets are the same. Manufacturer of RAM, I don't really think it matter. My current RAM configuration are 1 stick of original from from IBM with ELPIDA RAMCHIP and the other is KINGSTON with ELPIDA RAMCHIP too.

yes you can extend but u need to call IBM at 1800 88 8558 and ask them about the warranty extension. if they say ok then they will give u a service number if i not mistaken and then is either u will redirect to authorised dealer for purchase of extension or direct from them.

Thankyou, thankyou, bro! 
It's a plastic-based sticker. Bought it at one of the sticker stalls at the Damansara Utama pasar malam. The entire pasar malam moved to Kota Damansara end of last year i think... they still operate from 9pm-4am.

Sista lah!

Aiyo very far for me to get this sticker le.. Btw got Spiderman logo? hehe im Spidey fanatic fans le
Next time if bro go there can help me buy 1 and post it to me? i pay double for it

Hey, Thrust, thanks for your thoughts. It's assuring.

Ahyoh, I'm STILL looking for the 1GB PC2700 333MHz DDR SDRAM SODIMM for my IBM ThinkPad T42 model 2373-P43. 

Where did you get your RAM? Hopefully they have stock for my ThinkPad too.

Praying that i get this over and done with these few days. 

You lucky fella! My friends and I are going there this weekend. No need to pay double for it. No need to pay at all lah. Just PM me your name and address. You just help promote VMCC lah - broadcast to your friends and newsgroups you participate in and tell them to add VMCC badge on their websites/blogs from http://vmcc.com.my/be_a_link_partner.php

Thanks alot bro, but i dont think its a good idea to have it free
Can u please pm me how much it is including shipping fees to Johor (If you buy it)

Thanks, Lucky to see kind ppl here 

I bought it at IMBI. Forgotten the PC shop's name. I believe most computer shops do have the RAM you want. You can always try TECHDOS. They are authorised dealer for THINKPADs and they do carry OEM RAMs as well as KINGSTON certified RAMs for ThinkPads which are slightly cheaper.

arrgh, just got my new T60 today, when the background black for whole screen, i detect a Stuck Pixel, i hope it's not Dead Pixel, from what i know, Stuck Pixel can be fix ourself, it can be see clearly when Stuck Pixel surrounded s black color i heard that this kind of problem is not under warranty?

it cannot be see under normal windows environment, when the whole screen goes dark, i saw 1 pixel in red color

Does anybody using X60 1706-B43? Or has a recovery CD? My X60 has problem and could not re-install. I tried to request the recovery CD but got some problem with it. Could anyone help me out? Thanks and appreciated.

Digital Mall have limited choices of RAM. The last time I went, I wanted to get a 256MB PC2700 RAM but most of the shops don't have it. I recommend you to try LOWYAT. There's abundant of choices there. 80% you are able to get your RAM there.
