The other Thinkpad 600 I have runs fine with a dead battery in it. I tell ya what I'm gonna do, I might as well end this cause I'm not sinking a " charging circuit" in this thing ! I am spending too much on a cheap laptop !
Is that a motherbord issue ? Can I just combine the 2 Thinkpads and have one laptop that works ?
The reason I don't try to make the other Thinkpad my primary one is because it doesn't read RAM correctly. It either reads 288 MB of RAM or 160 mb of RAM. These things are a headache !
Hi, remember me ? LOL
I got in the external floppy disc, and a new battery, charged it up to 100% and did a BIOS update.
Yes it's taken me this long to get all this done ! LOL
After the BIOS update, I still didn't have any sound so I went into Control Panel, Sounds and Audio Devices, and I set the Crystal Audio stuff to be the default driver/player stuff and BINGO....we have sound ! I then turned off the laptop to see if it would remember the settings and it does !!! Yeeeehaaaw !
So now everything works . Its slow but it works.
Hey CaperJack....how much for that laptop that ya don't want... let me know. If it would be faster than this Thinkpad 600, I'd be interested !
Thank you for hanging in there with me through all this , BOTH of ya !!! I hope to help ya both one day somehow !!!
Let me know CaperJack !
