Talking with the folks in the local #vintage / #retrocomputing community, they clued me in that the #ThinkPad #RAID is a steaming pile of 💩 and not worth the trouble.

🤷 Oh well. Thanks for cluing me in

So I swapped out the two testing #NVMe drives I was using and reinstalled the original sticks - to have #windoz10 demanding for the #bitlocker recovery key. 🤦‍♂️

Well, time to wipe & install #windoz11 then.

Install went fine, only 4 rando #drivers to find for all #devices to be recognized and working.

Using my #CTT scripts to install the majority of applications, then to remove the #spyware #bloatware and other garbage #micro$oft added to #windows11

Then migrate my #data from my other ThinkPad. Welcome to my #sunday #funday

Ok, I spent yesterday afternoon trying to get #RAID configured on my #lenovo #ThinkPad #P70 - to no success.

I found this video youtube.com/watch?v=AyCC1NGe8a of the similar #p50 and configuring #RAID which shows the #BIOS interface but my P70's only show the "non-raid physical discs" I do not have an option for RAID volumes. Note I have upgraded the BIOS to the most recent version on lenovo's web site. Any thoughts?

I have attached 2 #screenshots of what the BIOS displays - I'm trying to configure the RAID on the two 512GB #NVMe sticks.

TL;DR: Hat hier jemand Erfahrung im Erneuern vom Bildschirm eines ThinkPads?

Ich hab' am Montag meinen Laptop (t470s) auf Asphalt fallen lassen und seit dem Flackert sein Bildschirm (wird alle paar Sekunden kurz schwarz oder zeigt ein nach unten verschobenes Bild). Dummerweise hatte ich einen Tag davor an einem Externen Monitor ein anderes System installiert, was mir erst die Hoffnung gab, es könnte ein Software-Problem sein. Ich hab' nur ihn und auch wenn ich meistens mit externem Bildschirm arbeite, tut es schon weh, ihm dabei zuzusehen und scheinbar nichts mit Software lösen zu können, jedenfalls tut er das auch im BIOS und in grub. Wenn mich jemand eines besseren belehren will, einen Funken Hoffnung hab' ich noch und ansonsten: Hat hier jemand Erfahrungen im Wechseln vom Bildschirm eines ThinkPads?

Caution: per the thread/response by @Sturmflut the new user page over on @openmediavault @openmediavault.local may be in error:

#TIL there is a specific #SD #MemoryCard Formatter for #Windows & #Mac that "does" a “TRIM” operation which cleans up remnants of deleted or previously existing files. While designed for SD-cards, it works with #USB #Thumbdrives as well.

MastodonSturmflut (@Sturmflut@mastodon.social)@Irishmasms@defcon.social I don't think so. On one hand the documentation doesn't say so. On the other, SD cards don't have a TRIM command, in the SD standard it's called ERASE (Command 38). ERASE guarantees a block is deleted, TRIM does not. USB thumb drives don't support ERASE at all, only some support TRIM. I was very curios to see what actually happens, so I plugged an USB thumbdrive into my computer and traced all system calls the tool makes. It never emitted ERASE or TRIM to this device. 1/4

Also: from this #W510 experiences I learned there is a difference between #MEMTest86 and #memtest86plus

#wikipedia has a good summary:

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MemTest8

In short, the old MEMTest86 went dormant so a fork was created with new capabilities, #processor and #memory support, etc - it resolved the weirdness I experienced trying to test all four DIMM banks on the W510 but MEMTest86 only would see the first DIMM slot

Part 4/4 following up on the thread:
The continuing efforts with the #ThinkPad #W510: Though that 32GB tested out fine with #MEMTest86plus v7, that does not mean the #BIOS and other circuitry in a W510 can handle 32GB. Thanks to the local vintage computing group cluing me in that e820 BIOS routines were not tested against 32 GB of physical memory. If wonky, then that could confuse the bootloader – the issues I was running into.

On their suggestion, I replaced the #DIMMs with four (4) 4GB DIMMs totaling 16GB. Ran #MEMTest86+ and they passed.

Reinitiated the #Win11 install, and the install worked! But like the #Win10 #x86 install I had on here previously; #Windows is dog slow on this laptop. It was usable, was able to update the latest patches and such, but painful and not the end user experience I wanted. With only a i7 1.6Ghz processor, this may be the cutoff for usability. Any of the i5 or i7 ThinkPads with >2Ghz processors ran Win11 with minimal issues and certainly not with this slowness I experienced.

So, I have re-thought my plans for this #laptop reinstalling #debian latest and thinking about what to do next for my workbench needs. Need to do some research on which other #Lenovo #thinkpads have #eSATA ports which would have faster processors than this W510.

Part 3/4
I did some research online; most are telling to boot into safe mode but M$ removed the capability. So, I am a little lost on where to go next in getting Win10 or Win11 running on this.

Thoughts/insights are much appreciated. #lazyweb

Part 2/4
Though this has a 64-bit processor, let me try the Win10 x86 32-bit LTSP installer from 2019: and it worked! The install went fine, but it ran dog slow. I used the native browser to download and then upgraded the #BIOS to the latest for the W510 and everything was noticeably slow. Unfortunately, most of the tools I want to use are 64-bit so this version of Win10 is not really an option.
To test & try to troubleshoot, I installed the latest version of #Debian #Linux. The install went fine, and the user experience was much better than the 32-bit Win10 – no real noticeable slowness. Ok, Linux is an option – but not what I had planned for this laptop. Let me wipe the drive (getting rid of #GRUB) and retry installing Win11 or Win10 LTSP.
Now when I boot with either Win11 or Win10 LTSP #USBs the windows logo flashes and the dreaded black screen with blinking cursor appears. We don’t even get the option to install…. (Ugh!)
Currently I booted into #ShredOS and am wiping the drive as a load test.

Part 1/4
The continuing efforts with the #ThinkPad #W510:
A nice surprise is this has four (4) #DIMM slots, so I was able to upgrade the memory to 32GB (and tested out fine with #MEMTest86+ ver 7)!

Unfortunately, getting an #OS installed has been problematic. As I mentioned previously, to use this as my #workbench #laptop for testing, #imaging, and #wiping #HardDrives and #SSDs (leveraging that #eSATA port) all the manufacturer and optimal #opensource tools are on #Windows.
I started with the #Win11 LTSP: Booted up fine, initial install was fine – and the initial boot want to a black screen with a blinking cursor.
Ok, let me try #Win10 64-bit LTSP with the same results: Booted up fine, initial install was fine – and the initial boot want to a black screen with a blinking cursor.

The next #thinkpad on my #workbench is an #E450 – I grabbed this from #ewaste to provide a family member a better laptop. It has a #i5-5200U at 2.2Ghz, and a max 16GB of #DDR3L #RAM so it can/should run #Win11, #linux, or #BSD with ease. The IO is ok, with multiple #USB3 ports, #HDMI, #ethernet and a memory card reader. This is a decent form factor, weight, and would make a decent laptop for someone. Though no docking station capabilities, they removed the port underneath.

There is a big BUT with this laptop though: it keeps freezing, and the video is glitching. Which may be why it went to ewaste…

I upgraded the DDR3L RAM to 16GB, and wiped the 500GB SSD that came with it.
Starting installing #Win11, and I let it install and reboot so I could refill my tea – to come back and the laptop was frozen with a black screen.
I rebooted, and it froze on the initial Win11 change password screen.
I rebooted again, went into the #Lenovo #BIOS #diagnostic tool, and started the full tests. As the test were running, I touched the nub and the video started glitching. Letting the test continue, the laptop froze while testing.

So, is this beyond time & effort to get working – or pull the spare parts and move on from?

The next #thinkpad on my #workbench is a #W510 – it has an #eSATA port as well as multiple #USB3 ports, #expresscard, #displayport, #smartcard, memory card reader, #DVD/#CDRW, with a max 16GM of #DDR3 #RAM so it can run #Win11 (if you are careful) or #linux with ease. This will be a good replacement for my workbench laptop for testing and #wiping #HardDrives and #SSDs

But: the processor is only an i7-Q720 1.6 Ghz
This will be a dog with #Windoz

So I am researching which & where to get a #CPU upgrade.
According to #thinkwiki thinkwiki.org/wiki/Category:W5 Some models came with an Intel Quad Core Extreme Processor i7-920XM (2.0GHz 1333MHz 8MB L3).

But wowzas the couple I found were expensive as all hell.

Any thoughts on
a) where to find one of these #CPUs at a reasonable cost; possibly locally in the SF bay area?
b) Is/are there other #CPUs that would work in the W510 motherboard that would provide more bang for the buck?

TIA!

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.

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.
