I spent part of the weekend finishing up preparing my #Thinkpad #R400 (7440-WGG) to sell. While my time on the #pro-leisure-circuit has been great digging into the #IBM and #Lenovo Thinkpad appreciation cult, I do not need all these #laptops and could use some spending money for other projects. And what the hell, I included the #T400 (2768-BN2) that I picked up for spare parts to fix/upgrade the #R400. Hopefully this bundle will be enticing for someone.

My post went to the local #craigslist, the #vintagecomputing communities I am in, and over on thinkpads.com:
forum.thinkpads.com/viewtopic.

I would hate to take these parts to #ewaste and figured someone in the various communities could use these parts & would be interested.

Some #pictures are attached but check out the thinkpads.com #forum post for all the items & #images.
And if interested – feel free to reach out.

I spent some of my weekend finishing up preparing my two #Thinkpad #W500 “mobile workstations” to sell. While my time on the #pro-leisure-circuit has been great digging into the #IBM and #Lenovo Thinkpad appreciation cult, I do not need all these #laptops and could use some spending money for other projects.
The one #W500 4061-B13 is running #Windows10 #x86 Enterprise #LTSC (Long-Term Servicing Channel), and the other is a W500 4062-4FU for parts/upgrades, along with 6 spare batteries. Between the two W500’s, there is a nice ThinkPad here. Hopefully this bundle will be enticing for someone.

I posted over on forum.thinkpads.com/viewtopic. the parts I have from the #ThinkPad #T530 that I #cannibalized. One of the USB ports was dead, and there was nothing obvious on the motherboard that was wrong. So I am going to use the #USB port from the T530 daughtercard to fix a different ThinkPad I have where the plastic tonged inside the port is broken off.

I picked up a #Thinkpad T530 from #EFM on Sunday. Got #Win10 64 bit installed, and I noticed the two #USB3 ports are not working. The #USB2 port next to it is working, it is what I used for installing Win10 since the other 2 ports did not work.

I confirmed the drivers are installed, and showing up on Device manager as a #USB 3 root hub & Intel USB 3 eXtensible host controller
I checked the BIOS for USB settings, and all are enabled.
All windows updates are installed
All latest drivers are installed

Any thoughts as to next tshooting steps?

Pictures part 7 of 7 - my big find/score yesterday - a #Hercules #HerculesDJcontroler #DJConsole #4mx #DJConsole4MX

And I got it at a good deal as well. 12 year old controller (so not quite #retro or #vintage ) but was brand new! And their web site has the latest #Windows and #OSX drivers.

This efm was lighter with vendors/sellers than past months, suspect the move off of mothers day and it being on Sundays.

Still some interesting sights, good folks to talk to, and some deals.

Worth checking out IMHO
