Why you want to replace good kingston ram installed in your thinkpad?

Mine is 512 originally and I upgrade to 1GB. Both piece are from Kingston...

Unless you are telling me that R and A Rams are different from T.

I'm using a R40...charging the battery takes around 2-2 1/2 half hours for me....when the battery is charging the icon shines a orangy colour...when its quite ok the battery just flashes on and off....when it fully charges the battery icon would stay there and won't blink liao....and thats when its full charged?

Hi all IBM Users,

Would like to share with you all this pieces of Informations that I found from IBM Website.

Extending your battery life
The amount of battery power consumed by your computer depends on such conditions as how often you use it, the operating temperature, and the period in storage (if unused).

The following tips can help you to extend the life of your battery:


If your battery is brand new and you are charging it for the first time, it might not become fully charged due to the characteristics of the chemicals in the cell. To maximize performance, ensure that all chemicals in the battery are fully activated by cycling the battery (fully charge, then fully discharge) three times. This procedure is also recommended if you stored the battery for a few months.

Do not charge the battery pack until all of its power is used. Recharging a battery pack that is not completely discharged can shorten battery life.

Once you start charging the battery pack, do not use it until it is fully charged.

Whenever possible, use the ThinkPad battery power-saving modes:

standby: The LCD and the hard disk drive are turned off.
suspend: All tasks are stopped and stored in memory to save power.

hibernation: All tasks are stopped. The memory data and the current status of the computer are stored in the hard disk drive; then the power is turned off.
Decrease the LCD brightness.

Use Advanced Power Management (APM). Each operating system comes with its own APM.

Stop the power supply to a serial device if it is not in use.
Remove the battery pack and keep it in a cool place if you will not be using the computer for a long period.

i charging now as well... seems like it's green/yellow color nw... and flashing... can verify if it is fully charged when it stop flashin?

When it is Fully Charge, It will display green light .
No flashing=p
