Have an 8000 and I can't do anything with it because it asks me to set time and date or press F1 to load defaults, but it won't work with a usb keyboard because for some reason it doesn't enable the usb keyboard on boot. Need a PS/2 keyboard apparently.

Thank you for your service !

my favorite ever laptop is a lenovo T500 - got my first in 2009 (t9400, 4g, 1680:1050) and been using it until 2022 with 8g and two hdd w7 and ubuntu! tried to go with a t420 but changed again back to another T500 with a t9600 - i just love the 16:10 and the old kb

Make it Win XP gaming System.

Good effort nevertheless. Human knowledge is built on trial and error. Keep it going m8

Thanks for doing this video. I had one of these when I was a teen, it was so awesome!

have one and love it

I love the older Thinkpad series so much, but the displays were mostly of terrible quality😐

Hey can u help me? Mine is running at 96°C AND shutting down:( how should I fix it?

Cool, I love Windows 98 PC Tower! ❤️💙💚🖤🔴🔵🟢⚫️🟥🟦🟩⬛️

This video was posted in 2023, and im saying this because fall release of Windows 11 24H2 will strictly require SSE4.2 and POPCNT nowadays, and that laptop's processor is supported by 24H2 and handles it just fine since its a early 7 era hardware where SSE4.2 were already a norm in most Intel based 7 laptops except for Pentium and Celeron versions of it. Just sayin.

What do i do of the relese to open the computer is broken?

I got one of these today!! :D Im currently making the windows 10 USB to install on there because i put a new SSD in but im excited to use it :D

i just found an old PC that was going to be at best recycled that somehow has a 2008 single core processor in it .... while i could go different sites to get a better price ... I am considering a processor like this and my first ever attempt at a processor swap. At worst (i hope)_... i pay a little too much for the processor from this video or something like it ... but i get the experience and have a little fun while doing so. I dont expect (hell i have android tv boxes for watching hd YT videos) much ... i put it on the area of my 2003 era Desktop even if the processor swap goes well (performance wise i mean) ... I do some coding and just messing around ... not modern gaming or anything. I tried Lubuntu (lightweight linux) and it wasn't the best on that rig with it's current processor ... Puppy Linux did ok for a number of things... again i know i am likely going to waste $ on this but its the fun and hopefully passible experience i am after. Not sure how but my 2003 rig while slow seems faster than the 2008 rig ... though the 2008 rig (both with 2GB of DDR2) CAN support up to 4GB ... the 2003 desktop i have sitting around IS 2GB max.

Picked one up for $7 at a local thrift store. Came with 2gb ram, locked 500gb hdd and a dead battery. I have an awesome desktop rig already so I want to upgrade this to be my main laptop. Only problem is every time I install drivers for the nvs 140m I get artifacting and half to reinstall windows. I tried 2 different drivers one from nvidia one from the dell website but both give me artifacts, I put new thermal paste on and cleaned the fans, other than this there are no issues. If anyone could help me that would be greatly appreciated. Forgot to mention I put in a 256gb ssd running windows 7 home premium 64 bit

I have two of them. First one was in my family for a long time, and i accidentally broke hinges, so i bought second one. I replaced hinges and screen and some more. Now it has 4GB of ram, 128GB SSD, T7200 CPU, integrated intel GMA, and 1680x1050 screen. I use it as a retro laptop. Unfortunately both 2 batteries are dead.

I brought this over a year ago to just do some basic drawings on, but it's running on windows 10 but says it needs to be activated. I bought it used which is my fault. I've tried everything under the sun and can't even reset the little thing to run smoother. It runs so slow it's not even normal. I tried multiple times to reset and it stops at 6% Everytime. Left it for 3 days!! Still the same. 😭. I feel like the previous owner may have bugged it bad and I have no way of knowing how to undo whatever was done.

I started working at RadioShack in 1998 and I remember this being the flagship model. I think the one we had was 512mhz with a MASSIVE 12 gb hard drive. The nostalgia of seeing that setup again is next level.

I know this video is from a long time ago but I have one of these computers and was wondering how much it would be worth

hi, i have 2 T40 too, what wifi adapter you recomend to install? they run win7 very well! the only issue is the onboard wifi

I have that laptop too!

My very first Mac. It was simply on a different universe compared to the PCs of the time.

I just got one of these bad boys for free. I just needed to replace the screen lol. It’s amazing how convenient it is for tinkering, I love it

)it's an S-video in (not out) am missing cable, any details of what its called, as searchable item eBay, Amazon, AliExpress, etc

I want it. Give it to me. _Now._ _I will not stop until I own every single ThinkCentre M58 ever made._ I'll even pay shipping.

I have this beast with i7 CPU as my back up laptop (i use desktop). I've had it for about 8 years and now it started giving me fan error which is very common in this model. i ordered a replacement fan and waiting for it so i can install it. I even dropped it a couple times and nothing happened! I absolutely love this laptop!

I have one of those. Can't get it to open windows 10 but did get it to open Tiny 10 Which is win10 debloated. Tiny 10 either has a virus or is really buggy. I did install Linux Minr XFCE 21.3 on it but found google didn't stay synced except if I use the flatpak version. Now everythings working fine can't game on it though lol

which bits do you have ? 32 or 63 bits

nice video i have 1 month ago put linux on one of those laptops great to learn more about it!

Hi could you please put a list of possible upgrades? I just got one of these off facebook marketplace for £20 and am looking for upgrades

hi nice piece :D i see in main board one ati rage vga what type this? i try found this old pc if i found ebay and my plan this one pentium mmx 266mhz from this ecist slot 1, if not or 266mhz p2 slot 1 192mb ram voodoo 2 sli with theng labs et 6100 combo with my ultimate 1997 gamer pc :D

I got a free PC with one of those cpus, astoundingly similar to that thing, stupidly loud with a crap PSU and an absurdly flimsy case. What a crock of shit. I should have never recapped their TV 😂 Yet to try the core unlock.

Hey, this was informative! I just found out we had one of these. I was trying to update it (it is on windows10) but I was wondering if you might happen to know if this series has a wireless network adapter for wifi? It looks like not judging by available drivers.

Hlw

i have the same laptop infected by virus and its not on the hard drive maby on ram or bios i gave up searching😂

only source i can find that shows dell d830 is sata not ide

SAVED. Just wondering, do you have a link to that desk/table mat??

Hey do you know how to reset this as my dad has one and forgot his password for it so now only has access to the guest account

Hello, I have one of this acer, and I just recently found it in my drawer and haven't used it for years. I just turned it on and just the lights just turn on then suddenly dead. Is it possible to restore it coming back to its life?

The Phenom 9500 is officially the slowest CPU on userbenchmark 😂

Your camera work was awesome in this...thank you.

Grew up with one of these. Exact same model. Vista was the golden days. I remember still playing GMOD on that damn thing. Still got videos up of it too lol. If I still had mine it probably could've had old Roblox stuff too

I have one with win11, 4gb ram 64 ssd. I use it only for acess via rdp my computer when I'm on bed. But I cant use two fingers to scroll or zoom.. This touchpad doesn't have multi-touch? :(

hi nice piece :D os/2 warp 4.5 one more insall and perfect :)

But some drivers missing or not correct install. PCI Serial bus , change to ELAN SMBus driver etc.
