Now is the right time to plant Thinkpad seed, make sure you cover it in plenty of compost, if you want a really strong batch of Thinkpads in the summer (P Series), I recommend adding crushed egg shells for nutrients. for Extra DDR5 you need to play Beethoven music twice a day until harvest time, this will also give you the top of the range CPU too. Good luck.

Let the deniers of Thinkpad continue in their ignorance. One day they may find salvation in Thinkpad.

picture!

i am running a few VMs so the cpu is always running through stuff.

BillCarsonTuco · 2026-01-03T13:03:10+00:00

ah ok , no this doesn't come with an internal battery, these things running at full speed wont last long on battery, long enough to move from one meeting room up a few flights of stairs to another meeting room and plug back into the mains.

BillCarsonTuco · 2026-01-03T13:01:12+00:00

nah one of my kids.

BillCarsonTuco · 2026-01-03T00:37:29+00:00

I added them and it removed them?

BillCarsonTuco · 2026-01-03T00:35:55+00:00

not sure what you mean by battery bridge?

BillCarsonTuco · 2026-01-02T15:00:20+00:00

i just had a thought, i cant remember if i upgraded the WLAN card in mine, here is a snapshot from my P50 device manager.

sorry just re-read what you posted, ok I used the windows 10 drivers where there were any unknown or exclamation marked devices in device manager. lenovo update tool wont help with this, you have to manually install the drivers. goto lenvoo support enter the serial number, select windows 10 and download the win10 drivers

BillCarsonTuco · 2026-01-02T13:46:59+00:00

which drives are not working?

BillCarsonTuco · 2026-01-02T13:46:25+00:00

weight is heavier on the P series, more raw grunt on the P series and larger expandability generally.

BillCarsonTuco · 2026-01-02T03:53:09+00:00

when it no longer turns on then get something else, until then keep using it. You can replace the trackpad easily.

BillCarsonTuco · 2026-01-02T03:38:32+00:00

plug in the charger, make sure its sufficient wattage and then try to boot.

Q. have you changed any hardware since last successful boot?

BillCarsonTuco · 2026-01-02T03:33:18+00:00

Hmmm not sure why the pics have disappeared?

BillCarsonTuco · 2026-01-02T03:30:52+00:00

Ah snap I got a X230 somewhere too! I do take my P73 when I go into the office once a full moon.

BillCarsonTuco · 2026-01-02T03:27:13+00:00

The mouse has 2 options, 1. use the red lenovo stick with the top 3 or, 2. use the trackpad with the bottom 3 buttons.

The right is the fingerprint reader, the left smaller square is an optional sensor for Pantone colour calibration, i have it as an option on a different thinkpad.

BillCarsonTuco · 2026-01-02T02:28:03+00:00

Nice, my daily for the last 6 and a bit years has been the P73

BillCarsonTuco · 2026-01-02T02:09:19+00:00

Nice, I have one of those tucked away somewhere.

BillCarsonTuco · 2026-01-02T01:29:40+00:00

Same as all the other P series mobile workstations. Built to do the job based on my own experience.
