BIOS Updates forum

Sorry, I don't know.

Is there some reason you don't want to go the Pent 3 mod route?

That's the whole point of this thread.

Sorry to hear that. Those connectors are delicate, and are a tight fit in the back of the case. Unless you mean you broke the screen itself. Used old Thinkpads aren't very expensive these days, so maybe you can get one for parts with a good screen from Ebay. You can also still use the computer as a ...

And you believe that changing the processor voltage will allow it to work at 600 Mhz?

Why do you need to modify the voltage?

You're welcome!

Sorry to have tried to help. Communication is obviously imperfect. Do what you want.

I don't think I understand you---- Are you trying to flash the BIOS from a HD? If so, you can't! Or shouldn't. You must follow IBM's instructions. Please read the website instructions carefully. Basically you create a boot floppy that contains the BIOS flashing program and the image. What you downlo...

I'd try flashing the BIOS with the latest version for your laptop's model number. Obtainable from the Lenovo site. After that is accomplished. Hold down the F1 key while turning on the computer to boot into "EasySetup mode. From there, do an Initialize. Also, get a copy of the IBM PS2.exe utility. T...

Hi Beatoem, always enjoyed your posts. I haven't tried it yet. I have tried D-Link's DUB-C2 USB 2.0 Cardbus adapter with a variety of flash memory/sticks, as well as an IOMagic's portable 80GB conventional HD (very small package).The USB 2.0 adapter gives you 2 USB 2.0 ports, and can fit with the wi...

All is well with Puppy after a Bios upgrade. I forgot that this was a recently purchased TP600E motherboard from Ebay, and it didn't have the latest IBM Bios already installed. In this case the board required Bios update INET36WW -- don't assume that is right for your board -- they vary, depending o...

After the Speedstep mod and re-assembly, (thanks to Gilf for the reminders:) ... My next steps will be to reinstall the OS (Puppy and W2K) . Hey a fellow Puppy enthusiast! I'm running 4.1.2 retro now on the TP600e, have moved away from Ubuntu lately in general. Puppy runs really fast. I'm also runn...

Thanks for the clarification (twice), Gilf. There are drawings 2 posts later by Pkiff [...] Minor note here: the drawings are by Sharedoc, I just posted/hosted them for him. Phil. Sorry, and also, we are deeply indebted to Sharedoc for this amazing thread. btw Phil,I have a jpg photo of the board w...

To repeat my comments on page 58: Oh, also, for those who might still consider doing the speedstep hardware mod, there is an error in the instructions on page 3 of this thread where it says: "On the top level of the board this pass through meets a resistor, south from text C9. Solder to the west end...

At the risk of being OT I wanted to update everyone on the memory slot problem I had with my prized 810 Mhz 107 fsb 534 Mb TP600E. As you may recall, one of the memory slots gave out, and I also cracked the screen. I decided to get another TP600E on Ebay, and possibly trade parts. Unfortunately the ...

Sorry about the infrequency of replies here -- I've had an ill family member the last couple months. As a suggestion about the video problem fje, it may be a cable problem, or possibly the cable connector isn't seated properly. In one laptop I had (non-IBM) there were two screen connectors at either...
