Waiting patiently for a t400 and an x201 I got on eBay.

ThinkPads all the way! I have a T410 myself, very similar specs to this one. Except my SSD is "only" 240 gigs, but I compensate with a 320GB HDD in the optical drive's place. Also, I run Debian. It's an amazing machine. Also, watching this on a X200 I just got today. Upgraded to 4 gigs of RAM (coming from the T410) and a 500GB HDD (I know, I know...), installed Trisquel and it works like a charm. I dedicate this to be my new school machine. I will also attempt to install libreboot on it.

I recently bought a T430s which has the last pre ULV CPU. The i7 is still awesome and the 430s is officially supported by Lenovo for Windows 10. Upgraded it with 16 Gigs of RAM and a Samsung 850 SSD this thing goes for 300€. Spent another 100€ for a new original 6 cell battery and the 3 cell battery for the ultrabay and it was one of the best decisions I have ever made.

What kind of battery life do you see having both batteries installed? I've been tossing around the idea of getting the 3 cell ultra bay battery as well. Right now I think I get about 4 hours with the regular 6 cell battery in it.

Google Lenovo T410 service & maintenance manual, it'll tell you how to fully disassemble the machine. Lenovo does a great job keeping their older service manuals available in PDF format.

i love your videos they are really good hope i see you one day hiting 1mil subs

Most of the older Lenovo Thinkpads, Dell Latitudes and HP Elitebooks are extremely upgradeable and can be made into snappy daily drivers for school or office use. I myself have a Dell Latitude E5420 which was upgraded to 8 gigs of RAM and a Kingston 480 GB SSD (i5-2520M CPU was left like that) which made a superfast multitasking machine. I installed Windows Vista Business SP2 (yes, it's time we revisit Vista and change most of our negative notions about it) and after installing Extended Kernel which is currently in the works, it makes a snappy modernised laptop. Also, your videos are awesome!! Please make one on the Latitude E5420 if possible (And I will stay with Vista for as long as I can; I won't upgrade to Win10 or install Linux as of now)

This Thinkpad rocks. Well Done!

I had the same hidden screw problem with a Panasonic toughbook cf-73, and for some strange reason I had to unscrew the modem from the motherboard and then the case fell open.

that screw was most likely on the edge or inside the optical drive, I had a similar issue servicing an HP laptop

hi! i have a compaq nx6320 laptop, is a very great machine, i love it!, i upgrate the ram up to 3gb. and i wonna ask you, can i upgrate the centrino duo that it have? i'm waiting for your answer thank!!

It's a shame that Lenovo cut so many corners regarding display quality on the later Thinkpads. Where did the beautiful IPS non-flickering displays go?

the only problem I had when lifting the palmrest was a cable connector under the same place i just forced it open and it worked but if it's to sketchy just leave it alone.

ok, my t410 has win 10 on it. When I get rid of the hdd by inserting a new ssd, how am I supposed to use my genuine copy of win 10, which is probably located on the restore partition of my hdd?

great video braxton, sounds like u broke the budget on this upgrade :D

ive looked everywhere. I can seem to find a video of my specific model. it's a t410 but the battery doesnt stick out at the back and theres only 1 heat pipe. i7 620m with 4 gb (2x2) shrug

I'm not sure if you've come across these before, but Lenovo publishes some excellent service manuals - search "Thinkpad T410 Hardware Maintenance Manual" and have a look at the first result!

Is this the one with the locked bios? Regardless, you can reset the password by removing the cmos battery for a few seconds then put it back in.

So I clicked on the link for SSD it took me to 480 gb. If I wanted a smaller one am I looking for 2D I pull the SSD it has and it is smaller the Samsung evo 860 I have?

Did you missing crystal-diskmark to make sure your ssd running at correct SATA standard ? I have a thinkpad T410 and installed intel X25-M SSD, and I finally found it runs at 1.5Gb/sec, what sad is this , my 10 years is gone....

I just tried to dussambly all and clean the fan etc but fuuuuck, I ended up remembering that you've got the same problem but I couldn't figure it out. Not under any logo, I've removed them all but no screw. Please anyone à Tipp fit me ?

Hey what do you recommend to do for a Dell latitude d430 laptop. Thanks.

Can i fit a quadro? I have integrated with an i5 in the 410

Hello do I have the lenovo t410 i5. Do you think it is still worth it to upgrade its ram and hard drive? I want it to be serviceable again. Thank you! Subs from the Philippines

hi dear, am using Lenovo Thinkpad T410. Maximum How much size SSD will Support? 1TB or 2TB will Support? please advice. Thanks

The reason that I absolutely love ThinkPads are that they all seem to have a Hardware Maintenance Manual available from IBM/Lenovo, and these manuals cover how to replace EVERY part of the ThinkPad. They do this for business IT departments, I'm sure, but it's a DAMN valuable resource. BTW, here's the link for the Hardware Maintenance Manual for the T410: download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/mobiles_pdf/63y0535_01.pdf

Yep, they have a great resource available for their machines. Not sure how far back they go, I know I can lookup the manuals for the T60, I'm sure they probably go back farther. Love the complete tear down they have in the manuals, makes servicing and repairs easy. Part numbers are listed making finding parts easy too.

Your voice and speaking skills are so good. I wanna be like you

Just pulled one of these from a dumpster with an i5 560m and 8gb of ram. It works really well and nothing is wrong with it except that the battery could use a replacement soon

is it worthwhile to upgrade ??? because even for the T410 if you want to sell it again have 2 pieces of scrap trading only keyboard defective, but it lacks ram cover, battery, hard disks ramen and HDD cover, auserdem the power supply, of which I have as I said 2 pieces, so if I invest 100 euros with ssd, new battery, the ram cover, keyboard, and the power adapter, and 8 gb ram, can i then sell it for more, or should i break it down better. it is not worth it anymore greetings from Germany.

11 months late, but Lenovo put the sticker with the FCC logo over the last screw. Which is a shame, I definitely don't want to break through the label on my T410. I guess an i7 is worth less than the integrity of a sticker to me.

Do you know about the trick where you short two pins on the EEPROM to reset the supervisor password?

I found the service manual, and that stand-off doesn't appear in there at all! tim.id.au/laptops/lenovo/thinkpad%20t410%20t410i.pdf

Will you take a look at her old system??

there will be two solder points where the ram is on that compartment on the bottom of the laptop. use google to find out which solder poiints it is

where did you buy your 8gb ram? can you give me a link . thanks :)

I love these machines really need to get myself one to replace my maxed out T61. Have you used Adata SSD's before? in the UK they are very cheap compared to the competition, I'm going to try one next time I need one.

I agree Lenovo build quality isn't what it used to be compared to the IBM built/designed models (I think T43 was last fully IBM model before Lenovo started touching things) but as for dissasembly details, all the service manuals are available online from lenovo.com but their web site is slow and difficult to navigate, so good luck there!

Any videos on the T410s?

I’m getting a t410 as a cheap gaming laptop vc they do better than most expensive laptops

You can download a instruktion from Lenovo' s Hompage to take the T410 apart. It's named HMM. Just search for "HMM T410" in the internet.

This makes me happy and sad to see this video, and it makes me sad because my T60 finally died recently, you know, the one that I told you had a broken screen... yeah it refuses to even power on now, as soon as you hit the power button, all the lights go out and nothing happens, didn't matter what I did.

can a lenovo thinkpad t410 support the intel core i7-960 as new prosesor ?

@raymondgradzewicz

5 жыл бұрын

No, the i7-960 is a desktop processor not a laptop processor. Go to eBay and browse for a ThinkPad T410 and look at the cpu name. The one I found has a i5-M520. The M (unless it's a first generation intel cpu) is normally at the end of the processor name, so i5-520M. The M stands for mobile processor, other laptops might have a U at the end which stands for an ultrabook processor. While they are great for battery life since they use less power, they also suck for performance. If you want to learn the differences between processor names. I recommend watching these two videos. If you are looking for a cheap laptop for work, I recommend getting the T410 and upgrading to 8GB of RAM, a 120GB or 240GB SSD, and getting a ultrabay adapter to turn the dvd drive bay into a second storage drive and putting in a cheap 500gb hard drive. Buy a new battery off of ebay (not used) and a 90W charger. Don't bother upgrading the CPU as it will only be a small improvement in speed and the one these laptops typically come with is just fine for everyday use.

Where do you find them for $10? Haven't seen them for that price for a long time, now that everyone is buying them up and bringing them back to life with windows 10 or Linux the prices have skyrocketed on them.

I'm refurbish 3 T410 laptops. :)

Thinkpads are great, but I notice you pay a premium for them. I bought a HP Elitebook 2570p for 99 dollars and couldn't be happier with a 3rd gen i5. You should definitely take a look at their laptops.

I have one of those inspiron 3521's and don't see how it is so bad for the average user. Granted, mine was free and it's hard to complain about it at that price point. I have put Windows 7 on it and it has 6GB of ram. I'll grant that the Lenovo was a great find and you have made it even better, but wouldn't you just be able to put the SSD and the extra ram into the Inspiron and made it run as well without the extra cost of the computer, battery, and the dvd drive? By the way, When I say "run as well"' I know that an I7 will run faster and the graphics would be better, but if this is just for school, I don't see how those things will make that much of a difference in the user experience. The one thing I would like in comparing the two when it comes to usability, is that the Lenovo would be nicer for me when it comes to hauling it around. I hate taking the inspiron anywhere. Just too dang big! But again, it's hard to beat free...

lol @ 8:50 I love thinkpads and shelties too!

I think that there is an uninstall function that gets rid of Mine-craft if not you will have to do it manually, the Supervisor Password might be Administrator you never know.

Same here! I really like the old ones more! Like the one in the video and old IBM thinkpads.

When you are taking the screws out use a fine black marker pen to mark the length of screws and what they hold down. makes it easy to get the right screws in the right holes. one thing o do to make Lenovo T410s even faster is putting Linux mint 20.1 on them as the operating system is smaller and because it does not have bloatware of windows it is just as fast and many of the new computer you can get today plus its free. people are afraid of linux mint but its easy to learn and you can find tutorials for linux mint just by looking on the web. and everyone should learn linux as more and more companies are using it because of its higher security.

3:49 you should've just twist the screwdriver instead of just prying it. So that could knock that clip off of place.

anyone have their suggestions about x230?

that is a 1st gen cpu. seem your sister is more recent cpu a 3rd gen i5 just max the ram of that inspiron and use ssd on it it will have same effect

Why not install windows 10?
