I just bought a used T60 XP for my son and am having some problems. I believe the seller did some over-vigorous reinstallation of software and now the machine appears not know its type.
1) System Update gives Error 75 and from here: http://forum.notebookreview.com/lenovo-ibm/157733-thinkvantage-system-update-error-75-a.html this seems to be related to a bad model number in the registry. I renamed those folders mentioned in that article but after reboot the bad old model number "TP-79___" reappears. Maybe it is being picked up from the BIOS. Does anyone know how to fix this? I recall installing a BIOS asks if I want to change model number. Is that a clue on how to tackle this? 1) The WLAN wireless is not visible in Device Manager or in Fn-F5. Could this be a side-effect of the first problem or something different? I have not yet opened the machine to look for a wireless card but I believe one is present - the seller appears to be naive but not dishonest. Thanks. _______________________________________________ Thinkpad mailing list [email protected] http://stderr.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/thinkpad
