hey...I just found out that my screen has few deadpixel...what can I do about it?!??

just want to know whether the lappy price in australia is cheaper or expensive than kl?

kindly let me know....

Is it still under warranty?
14" screen must hav 8 and above dead pixels to entitle warranty claim.

well, since you already have the thinkpad utilities installed on your lappy, wouldnt double effort to run NHC as well?

Got that installed too, but find out that the power management thingy is overlapping my thinkpad's one... so got it uninstalled.

no problem, it's a MUST utility for all thinkpad


here's a link to cure ur dead pixel

conclusion: if u find ur thinkpad got dead pixel, do not feel sad so fast, it might be the software bug and after restarting it'll be gone, more detail refer to the link above

solution:
1) get back the hidden partition - from fren, ibm centre, i dunno how to do this
2) download the driver from ibm website n install it manually

i might not help, but at got some response

Ever wonder what brand/model is your ThinkPad keyboard?
I did a little research on the ThinkPad keyboard and I would like to share my discovery with you guys.

It seems that there are 3 keyboard manufacturers, Alps, NMB(very rare) and Chicony.
I have read many reviews that praises both Alps and NMB keyboard.
Sadly not many on Chicony, some like it, some don't. Those who don't are Ex-NMB or Ex-Alps users.

Anyway if you ever wonder how's it feel like to use an Alps or NMB just read the review below ...
Keyboard Maniac Review

I know words alone can't really express how it feels like to use Alps and NMB, but at least it gives us a rough idea.
I am considering getting Alps and NMB (Yes you guess it right, mine is a Chicony), mainly as a backup keyboard, partly for satisfying my curiousity.

You guys probably think I'm mad. (It's just a keyboard, why bother?)

Anyway, those who are as "mad" as me and would like to find out more about their keyboards can refer to the links below.

1. Find out your keyboard FRU number
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss.../partsLookup.vm

2. Key in your model/serial number and do a lookup

3. Scroll down the list and find for your keyboard FRU number. You should see something like the below...

39T7148 39T7178 KEYBOARD FRU YES

4. Go to this page and lookup
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/MIGR-64342.html

Example : 39T7178 corresponds to "Chicony", "English, U.S."


Last words, I hope there are some Alps and NMB here in Malaysia.
Do tell me your experience with an Alps or NMB keyboard.

Seems like my keyboard FRU is not in the list. 39T0643. But from the trned, I guess it is from NMB?

@Nyxator, mine is same, guess all R60 is using Chicony

anyway i'm enjoying it very much now, i'm not as superb as them 120wpm, it's still the best keyboard i tried so far

perhaps i tried Alps n NMB, i'll probably starts complaining

Mine is using NMB

@Thrust, can i try ur keyboard ar?

anyway to R60 users, new bios had been out, this bios should supports C2D if u r thinking to upgrade, i'm staying as 64bit is still developing

Just want to ask any thinkpad users suffers this issue:

*press the keyboard G,H,J (3buttons) simultaneously and there's a loud beep. It's quite annoying when I am typing fast. Anyone knows how to turn this 'beep' sound off permanently?

@Thrust, my baby is problem free so far try to raise it up at notebook forum if u cant solve the problem
