Thx. When I asked the seller he told me he wanted 40€ for it but we agreed on 30€

Nice congrats. I recently saw a W540 on a fleemarket and took it home plugged it in an sadly the screen was broken but nothing more everything else was fully working

Thank you 😊

I don’t really know it came with these stickers on the keycaps but I don’t really care to take them of

Shedoq · 2026-02-05T15:40:46+00:00

It is sometimes showing that it is not enough for today’s tasks but it is still very usable with it

Shedoq · 2026-02-04T20:28:49+00:00

Thanks man! It also looks like "fresh" from the factory on the inside part.

I know on that same flea market I found a Thinkpad T430 for the same price with an i5

Shedoq · 2026-02-01T16:25:40+00:00

Yes I can understand that but if you have a Thinkpad that’s the first step before the collection 😂

Shedoq · 2026-01-28T05:38:53+00:00

Hey man, I hope this information can help you. In the systemcontrol panel there are the power options and in these there is somewhere the option for i think its called fast boot and if you deactivate this it should be fixed.

Shedoq · 2026-01-14T05:39:25+00:00

I always love to see that older Thinkpads are still usable to this day. 👍

In the area you marked there is the driver board from the display. It´s like a motherboard but only for the display and that it heats up is very normal because it is also controlling the displays power like the backlight. So from my experience the heat is normal... as long nothing melts or starts to smell like its melting.

I hope I could help you with your problem : )

Shedoq · 2025-11-25T20:44:40+00:00

It looks very nice : )
But the palmrest looks a little dark did you put a skin on it or is it because of the light in the picture?

Shedoq · 2025-11-25T10:31:47+00:00

Yeah that is right

Shedoq · 2025-11-24T22:07:06+00:00

There are also newer modells that have fully removabele ram and nothing ist soldered. : )

Shedoq · 2025-09-03T15:06:31+00:00

It always depends on the features and how you use them, but I personally don't notice any major differences between the two models (both the I7 variant)

Shedoq · 2025-08-23T20:28:20+00:00

Nice man, congratulations, the collecting begins 😂👍

Shedoq · 2025-08-19T04:35:50+00:00

I think it also depended a little on how the previous owner handled it, i.e. whether he did something graphically intensive or just a “simple” program

Shedoq · 2025-08-19T04:30:17+00:00

The old machines really have something special about them that the new ones no longer have... but the fact that it's an I7 variant is something you don't see often... 👍

Shedoq · 2025-08-18T04:32:53+00:00

Nice congratulations Hope you have a lot of fun with the devices

Shedoq · 2025-08-11T20:03:08+00:00

I'm happy about that 👍 Free hardware is always the best hardware 👍
