why is the video so dark…
@TheDannyHan I don’t know what sound card it uses, I just sold mine. It’s probably Conexant though. Thinklight: Fn and the top right key on the keyboard.
Awsome video i got my think-pad T42 and a copy Windows XP today and the specs look really good for a 5 year old computer it had linx on it so yea… Also do you know what Sound card it has? and how do you turn the think light on?
omg. don’t care about the ‘think lamp’, the freakin location of the ibm logo or the xp sticker, your software config and CERTAINLY don’t care about your other laptops. how many times are you going to mention the resolution? and how many videos have you made about this same laptop?
hey…thanks a lot for the prompt reply….to be honest, I’m getting a refurb thinkpad for $35 more and since I’m here in Pakistan and you in USA, the shipping charges would push up the cost a lot more than what I’ve to pay here….Anyhow, thanks a lot for the help buddy. Really appreciate it
My T42 is for sale right now, for $225USD. Anyhow, the T42 is a great computer. I think it’s it for sure. However, newer ones are usually better but a lot more expensive. Problems? No, the wifi is great. I can’t list any problems of this computer. It’s a good buy.
Hi…very informative video….I’m from Pakistan and I’m on a really tight budget….I’m thus planning to buy a refurbished T42….Should I go for it or should I keep on saving up for a brand new model?? Are there any problems with the T42 line like somebody said about wi-fi issues??
Put CD/DVD in CD/DVD drive and turn on the computer. If it says press any key to boot from CD/DVD, press a key. If it just boots your operating system press F1 during startup when it says ThinkPad. Enter the system BIOS, and change the boot settings so that CD/DVD drive is set to boot before the HDD.
hot to boot from CD? on T42

“its a thinkpad bios that means its better!”
I had a similar problem on my t41 and t42 .When using wireless would disconnect all the time. so I uninstalled the wired driver and just kept the wireless driver installed , and it works great like this,the wireless remains connected all the time now, no more disconnects.
thanks any way.and keep it up:)
Well…. I don’t know. Doesn’t sound like the right driver to me.
it’s not cable problem. I’ve checked it .
but afterward it kept showing A network cable is unplugged.
it seems connected for few seconds.
yes.
are you crazy? 512MB Laptop HDD?
thats you RAM noob. If you want more space, you need a new harddrive!
yes you are right
The link?
You mean you cannot connect to the internet?
What?
I just installed a proper Ethernet driver on my t42.
it can’t detect the link.
have you have this problem before?
512MB is RAM, or Random Access Memory. I think you need a bigger hard drive. The Hard drive is IDE 2.5 inch. An EIDE would also work, and you want a 5400RPM. Most likely, you have 40GB. I would recommend a 60GB or more.
Hi. I have a question:
How can I increase the memory space for the lenovo T42. does 512MB mean the storage space for the laptop? Could I buy something to increase the space?
Sure, IBM did better job than Lenovo….
Design and quality.
before buying a laptop, i always make sure that i see some laptop reviews first “
i always look for laptop reviews on the internet before buying a new one, ~**
