For IBM/Lenovo ThinkPad laptop enthusiasts. Blog posts are encouraged. If your post does not appear in the queue, it's because of the stupid spam filter. Use the link to 'message the moderators' below to tell them. Tips: • When buying a used ThinkPad, remember to check that the BIOS is not locked with a supervisor's password and that Computrace is not enabled and activated. • When buying a new ThinkPad, consider taking the IPS screen option if possible, as it doesn't cost much.
Not only will it have better brightness, colour, contrast and viewing angles - you will most probably more than make up the investment when selling it. Corporate bulk purchasers don't usually go for it. () • The only tools you need for servicing a ThinkPad are a set of small screwdrivers and a nylon spudger (for taking the screen and keyboard bezels off), and possibly a pair of tweezers. A can of compressed air may be useful too, and a bottle of isopropyl alcohol and cotton buds are good for cleaning, but not on the screen. Never use nail polish remover (acetone).

To receive this Complete Guide absolutely free. Installed Linux Mint on my lenovo thinkpad T420 a few days ago but could not boot into it. Eventually tried using Rescataux Beta on a usb. First I used the easy UEFI repair, which didn't work, so next I tried boot-repair. This worked, I could get into linux.
However, now I can't get into the bios, it just displays a black screen when I press F1 during loading. I tried doing a bios update and this didn't resolve the problem. I have no idea about what boot-repair does so I don't know where to look for a fix. I don't know what log info would be useful to share to help, but as I can't boot from USB, I can't get the logs from Rescataux (if there are any on there). However, here's the info from dmidecode. Code: # dmidecode 3.0 Getting SMBIOS data from sysfs. SMBIOS 2.6 present.
