A universal charger is easy to find, but I do know that model uses a 16v AC adapter which can be found at any store that sells electronics (Best Buy, etc)

go into your bios at start up press f2,del or f8 and you'll see some kind of brightness control pretty sure but their is several thinkpads

my ibm 600x thinkpad wont load anythig, it comes up as Error 00178 and 00301 and 00188

All versions of windows except Vista and Windows 7.
You may find it difficult to purchase Windows version up and including XP.
You may need to install more RAM and a a 6 to 10 Gb hard drive.
The smallest hard drive available is approx 100Gb but the BIOS in the Thinkpad won't support a hard drive this large.

Hi...
Continuous beep usually mean problem with the memory module.
Get it checked.

Thanks

Pressing the Fn/Home buttons should increase the brightness, while Fn/End should decrease it. Hope it helps.

FN pg up pg up. It that is not it try settings> control panel> sounds and multimedia> audio> volume Make sure the volume control and wave sliders are a least past the halfway point. Also check that the mute box is empty. If that dose not work then in that same window try > Advanced and make sure those settings are correct.

ibm is providing their computer with a relevant bios updtes . bios updte will solve most of this type of problems

sometimes the power options on a notebook determines the brightness, but if you look to your keypad, there is normally keys that adjust the brightness along with the Fn(function button) But if you have damaged when dropping it, one of the backlights may have been broken within the screen.
