I have been looking for this TARGUS BACKPACK TSB013US for quite some time, does anyone know where can I find it? 

aren't x31 is old model?

Yes... IBM never seems to change the squarish Thinkpad design. Always the same look. But if you take one look you know it is an IBM.

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?

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?

What is part num? And how do I find out my part num?

What did you upgrade and did you upgrade the BIOS too?

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.

Hey there, hope you are still helping me

Is my part num confidential? I hope not.

which file? And mine is not from Malaysia. It is the same right?

Just wanna make sure I am doing the right thing..

Another thing I wanna ask. I am going to add more RAM into my notebook and I am using SODIMM PC333 (I think) but I was thinking of getting some other brands, it is safe? Or shall i stick to SODIMM on the safer side?

Currently I am on 256mb. If I add 512mb, it should be ohkie right? I mean, should I stick to 2 256mbs or I can have 1 256mb and 1 512mb?

If I could not have both different sizes, I can change both to  512 right? I mean, its easy to remove the current existing one I have, right?

right.. and how do i know if my motherboard could support it?

Sorry... I am so a newbie in this kind.. and my ventilation FAN is killing me!!!!

yoh.... How to format R series , I found one instruction actually , but its for win xp pro -.- mine is win xp home.

I see...heheh...opss... Anyway anyone using model T43-2668 NA5?
