Safe mode for lenovo thinkpad t61

SOURCE: Scroll Function Doesn't Work

Just a followup to my June 27th post: I always use a mouse. The last two times the scrolling problem occurred, I tried using the touchpad to move the cursor to the scroll bar, then clicking the touchpad button as if selecting that position--and the scrolling problem disappeared for that session. I didn't have to reboot.

SOURCE: Schematic for Lenovo T61

Idon't know of any source for any of the mother boards. Part of this is due to the extreme complexity. I would be happy to even find parts layout and/or block diagrams for these critters but have yet to find any. The best that I can do for you (or me!) is to point you towards a copy of the maintenance manual. Let me know if that will help you.
Thanks!

SOURCE: MISSING DRIVER LENOVO T61

Hi there.
Go here for the "chipset" or "intel AMT" drivers, what you could do is download all of them so you have a back up of drivers needed (working on the assumption you are using XP)

Good luck and thanks for using FixYa!!

SOURCE: lenovo t61 shut down w/out warning. Could it be

When the laptop is conected to the mains adapter and it shuts down for no reseason and you can boot up again after a period, it would indicate that you could have an overheating problem.
Check the fan to see if it spins freely and there are no dust clogging the fan and heatsink assemble, remove and vacuum the dust, if the fan is faulty, replace it.

SOURCE: Lenovo T61 Thinkpad not booting up

Hi ,

Did you install any new hardware and after that your system is not booting look at that and also try to check the condition of the memory if any latch or something is damaged.Try if you can log into safe mode as when the system boots press or Hold F8 . It can also be due to system getting corrupted.Also try the Last known good configuration option to see if your laptop functions. for this too press F8 and select and let me know.

Regards.
