IBM 3581 Ultrium Ultrium Tape Drive - Page 6 Questions & Answers
I have an IBM ThinkPad
It could be the battery or the power converter in the computer.
But after a closer reading it sounds more like a chipset error.
Does it work if the battery is completely removed and you boot on just the power cable?
On this link you can find the latest drivers for the chipset:

I can also see that it is an older model. You don't mention what version of windows you are running, but if you are running XP or earlier that says something about the age of the thing.
It could be that it is just simply worn out.
Luckily almost all the Thinkpad models are build to last, so you could take it to a shop and have them run a diagnostics on it and replace what ever parts that might be failing.
Just be adviced that the price for the diagnostics would most likely exceed the value of the laptop.
Personally I would get a tech savvy person to get the harddrive out (myself in my case), plug it to a second device with cables as an external drive (can be bought in most wellstocked computer hardware stores) and then do a backup of any essential data.
IBM Travelstar usb 2.0 - when connected to pc get error msg - problem with drive need to scan - WILL scanning ERASE FILES THAT ARE STORED ON THE usb drive
the scan is just a program reading the files and folders either in the computer or storage device
normally it is done by the security program ( windows fire wall) or what ever program you have installed
it reports on any problems found and waits for your decision
if you run a system check, that is different as it will rectify any program faults as it goes not files or folders
it is always advisable to scan usb sticks when installing as that is a favourite way that hackers get into a computer
although the usb stick may be in your control all the time , downloads from your own computer can transfer a problem via usb stick
As for your concern---scanning will not change any files or folders but will report on any faults to you

IBM Thinkvision Automatic turn off please fix it
Unsure if it uses a VGA, DVI, or Hdmi, if you are using a video card with several monitor connections, try switching the connections. I was having the same problem untill I did just that. In other cases, your PC might be going on sleep mode.
Hi
You know if Ibm 45w1959 have Windows 7 driver
I wasn't aware Windows 7 needed any drivers.
In my experience Windows 7 will load onto any IBM compatible PC. In some cases additional drivers will be needed but that usually won't be apparent until afterwards.
