I have a question;

I own an IBM R51. I just downloaded their latest drivers and updates because my laptop has been running too slow and lagging.

I did see some changes after all the downloads but there is one BIOS upgrade which I am relatively confused.

I restarted my PC, and they prompt me a table DOS style with a Main Menu printed on the top. I did what was instructed but there was no telling whether the BIOS is being updated or anything. So I exit the Main Menu without updating my BIOS

I am curious is is necessary because it wrote Mandatory but nothing happened when I tried to update it.

Did anyone know what am I talking about and succeeded in doing it which could tell me what to do?

Another question is; do you realised the ventilation fan is very loud?! Or is it because of my laptop only?

my advice is u run the rescue & recovery to format and install back your windows.then it should be help little with the performance!!!

and dont ever update the bios via internet!!!!cause is dangerous!!!

about the fan,u can send back to the service centre if still under warranty!!!

The performance is up and running smoothly, just that the bios update caught me in confussion.

Can you tell me more of the rescue and recovery features? I know I am suppose to read it up and understand it myself but I really do not know what should I do right. If I understand your reply, rescue and recovery would reformat my entire PC? And do not upgrade BIOS online right? So I should not upgrade my BIOS at all?

OMG. Sending back for warranty is too much of a hassle. I really do not want to go there. So you are telling me that my fan is having a problem. I know the heatsink is there but I do not remember having it running so noisily when I first bought it. In fact it goes on and off quite frequentyly in an hour.

Is it because my laptop is warm thats why it triggers the fan? If I would to put additional RAM, will it be safe then?

I am not sure is it my sensitivity or my laptop but I used to use Dell's PC and it wasn't this noisy! Besides, its winter now and the tempreature is cool. It should not be too hot..

I know this question is stupid but could it be possible that my system is running low in RAM mb that the laptop is running twice harder to fit me. Could it cause the heat? I am on their standard 256mb only.. tongue.gif

greetings, any know is there a way to reset the Supervisor Password in ThinkPad? I got a T23, the #*$&@ user go play the BIOS and forgot the password. I checked the ThinkPad manual, the Supervisor password is not resettable, you'd have to change the whole MOBO. what worst, it locks out the HDD as well.

This is the Supervisor password, not normal password, it's not resettable by removing the CMOS battery. So pls dont post "have to try remove the CMOS battery?".

yeah, they said have to change the whole mobo. their technicial came over to service other machines also said the same thing. Found some service to reset ThinkPad password on the internet, but it's all overseas and dunno whether thrustable or not.

btw, the mobo cost much more than the machine is worth on the fair market value. sweat.gif
