The newer iPhones have serialized part time so when you put in a new battery it gets rid of the battery health reading in settings is that the case with this one as well?
I did a T540 i7 swap into a T440s chassis and receivng the same 1802 error. I am going to try this when I get back home. The greatest laptops ever made with the worst anti-consumer restrictions. Lenovo could have been such an amazing company if they didn't tarnish their brand with tomfoolery like this.
Ffs… some of you guys need to out and touch GRASS. Seriously, get your head out of being obsessed with a bulky ThinkPad. It’s just a laptop that is the same looking as all the other friggin laptop sold.
Try this: Bring your good old T440p to your garden, open a beer and watch some videos on your dear Thinkpad sitting in the grass while reading funny comments written by grumpy farts. It’ll significantly lighten up your life, grandpa.
this is the card I used: www.amazon.com/Intel-802-11ax-Bluetooth-Adapter-Notebook/dp/B0B4T696W5/ref=sr_1_4? although any m.2 wifi card with drivers for your operating system should work.
It’s interesting how the installation and running is so slow on your modern system with virtualised Windows. I have a Compaq Evo N620c laptop that I’ve prepared specifically for Mindstorms - I chose this model (from 2004) because it has Windows 98 driver support, plus a real serial and parallel port as well as USB for convenience. It’s a very fast Windows 98 system, being a 1.5GHz Pentium M. Installation of Mindstorms 1.5 took less than five minutes and it starts with only a second displaying ‘Loading…’ The software really flies, videos play immediately, and it’s especially nice not to have User Account Control or any other interventions. Also, the 1024x768 display works well for RCX code - not so great for all those video segments that seem to expect a 640x480 display!
It's probably not a good idea to try, updating to the latest bios would probably either fail, remove the mod, or brick your machine. This laptop is old enough that it isn't getting new bios updates, so you can just update to the latest bios before you start, and do the mod with the latest bios, and not change it after that.
Whether you can connect to 5ghz wifi determined by whether your wifi card supports it, so if you install a card that supports 5ghz wifi (which nearly every modern card does) than you can connect to those networks. I would recommend searching online whether the card yours came with stock supports 5ghz though, mine had the Intel AC-7260 which did. If yours should support it but you can't get 5ghz wifi to work, its probably either bad drivers, something messed up with your router, or you have bad signal strength, which can sometimes kill 5ghz connections but not 2.4
After upgrade you can use win 11 or any linux you want. Not only this thinkpad even older can do this. MY have 16GB ram 4core cpu 1TB ssd. And intel gpu for coding or linux you not need more.
The T440P is an incredible machine. This guy goes through all of the ways to upgrade a T440P ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dT_xevPwKjo.html I have four of them, and they run Windows 11 and Linux and are cheap.
When I try to use flashrom i get these errors: -"No EEPROM/flash device found" - "Found Generic flash chip "unknown SPI chip (0 kB, SPI)" I cannot make any dump..do you think is caused by the clip? Thank you
It was difficult to get it running on Windows XP. For me, what worked was downloading QuickTime 6.5.2 from Apple and then writing a custom batch file to delete a temporary file that causes a crash every time it runs, and using that batch file to run the program. Also, I'm pretty sure you can get the USB tower to work on 32-bit Windows 10, but I haven't tried.
*I don’t understand what lenovo was trying to accomplish locking the system from booting with unsupported wifi chips, really the only thing that matters when installing a new wifi card would be OS support for the drivers, and yet thinkpads are supposed to be pretty upgradable. Weird*
Yeah, it sucks. I have a newer thinkpad that's still stuck with a slow 802.11ac card but that one I can't upgrade because they locked down the bios and I don't think it can be patched, so I'm just stuck with it.
hello, I also have an old hp ProBook 6360 b laptop and I wanted to switch to wifi 6 as well, do you think there would be a patch for hp as well? Thank you
I replaced my WIFI card in my HP ProBook 650 g1 with an Intel WI-FI AX200 1600Mhz and it just worked without any patches or anything. For your HP ProBook it should just work straight up.
thanks for the vid! I just got an old kit off ebay and was wondering what hoops I'd need to jump through to get it to work. you saved me a lot of time!
you can actually repair those old cables pretty easily, the plug ends are snapped together and can be opened with a little finesse and the wires inside are only attached by vampire taps so you can just pull out the old wires once you have the plugs open and push in new ones, speaker wire works fine for this, the only exception to this is things like the light sensor which are glued shut and internally soldered, you can still get it open end replace the cable but its a fair bit more destructive and wont look all that good afterward if you are too rough with it
Thanks for this video. I plan to do this even tho I have it working on an old PC. One PC is all I have room for. BatteryPoweredBricks has a video on how to repair your 9v wires.
