I nvr face those problem b4, my bios is 2.17, i'm using R60 w gma950

myliew, is ur screen flicking or blank when on battery?

recently my screen also blink suddenly when i'm using battery, i need to close the lid and open back then the problem solved, i set the action for closing lid is do nothing

i suspect the latest driver cause me this

myliew, i suspect the problem as i disable the intel start up applications - igfxtray, hkcmd, igfxpers

now i enable them back, only able to tell the result after few days usage

did u disable them as well through msconfig or other 3rd party software?

hi myliew, i found the solution at last

after reverting back to the earlier graphic driver, the problem solved i downloaded the driver from intel website, let me know if it works in ur case as well

v3000, envy lar, got spare money for x61.. i'm still w my R60, but still enjoying it compare to other notebook tht i used

hehe v3000, u r the man, i must owe one when my R60 die

recommend u 2 software if u hvnt own them, i just found it today n it was very useful

1) www.lingoes.net - free dictionary, can integrate multi language dictionaries
2) www.orbitdownloader.com - free downloader, can download youtube n others non downloadable musics n movie

hi liew, sorry for replying late

u may need to uninstall the thinkvantage, change ur regional setting to english, then install the thinkvantage again, after tht only revert back to chinese regional setting

hope tht might helps

hi liew,

Pls follow the steps here:
1) goto control panel> add/remove program, uninstall the intel graphic driver
2) restart
2) launch the new downloaded driver again

if it still doesnt works,
1) download this driver - http://downloadmirror.intel.com/13881/a08/win2k_xp1431.zip
2) extract the driver
3) run setup.exe

i'm doing fine using the .zip driver

waiting for ur results

@awetan & v3000,
i still prefer the boot up n hdd password in bios, i feel more secure than using the fingerprint
if someone had stolen ur lappy, they need to dismantle the whole notebook to clear cmos then only can use ur laptop
if they cant steal the data as well, if u had set the password at ur hdd, rather than just formating the whole lappy n u r done

@babymiki,
thinkpad for normal gaming n surfing sure no problem, the things shine were it's super rugged casing, best keyboard n cool running, making it's a real though machine
u wont really need to take care the lappy, like me, i on it 24 hours without cooling pad, always carrying it around, taking public transport, handle it w one hand while using, open close lcd lid more than 10 times a day, it's still running fine and like new, thts y people always said "thinkpad will grow inside u day by day"
i used many branded laptop eg dell, compaq, hp, toshiba, acer, fujitsu etc, u just wont get those feeling like using thinkpad, all of them need to be sayang sayang, well handled, appropriate usage bla bla, it's like u intend to hire a staff to lighten ur burden, end up it creates more problem and u hv to well taken care of it

anyhow thts my personal opinion, it depends on what kind of laptop u r searching for as well

wow this is real cool man

i thought it's like desktop, just take out the battery n left for few days n it's done

thanks for the great news, i set it since day 1 i used my lappy

yes, ur gc is the same

http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss...9&validate=true

hv u UNINSTALLl ur previous gc driver and restart it before proceed to the installation of the new gc driver?

i found the intel gma tray icon is still there in the pic, if it's uninstall, it shouldnt be there

i suggest u use other software like everest to test out

@v3000, just on it 24 hours, T series comes w 3 years warranty

@sena, i guess rm500 is cheap, lcd should cost near or more then rm1k in service centre.. my fren accidentally drop his 3 months old toshiba, lcd crack, go service replace cost RM1.5k

"shock mounted hard drive" is the technology where the 2 piece rubber attach at the both side of the hdd, and hence it's might not fit 2.5" hdd and our so called "shocked mounted hdd" will gone

"active protection system" is the software tht enable the hdd stop spinning when detects movements. if this software is not installed, the hdd will runs like an ordinary drive and wont stop spinning if movements are detected.. however sdd is running on flash memories, so it's will be the time for "active protection system" software to say bye bye

hehe it's my wrong, it will fit, i forgot our drive are using 2.5" hdd as well
hv a look at the "shock mounted drive" technology
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/MIGR-63910.html

guess "active protection system" just wont work, since it's designed to park the read/write head when there's movement, while flash memory doesnt hv, nvr use before so cant really tell

hv a read here
http://www.anandtech.com/storage/showdoc.aspx?i=2982
it should be able to detect like ordinary hdd, since the test above doesnt mention any special requirement to run it
