4 Problem with WiFi LED 4.1 Details 4.2 Solution 4.3 Successful WiFi LED fixes 5 External Sources Problem description The ThinkPad BIOS only allows to boot with an "authorized" adapter installed. If an unsupported card is detected, the http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Problem_with_unauthorized_MiniPCI_network_card BIOS prints a message on the screen and stops the system: 1802: Unauthorized network http://www.masnick.com/2007/09/07/the-secret-thinkpad-powerbutton-code-to-bring-dead-laptops-back-to-life/ card is plugged in - Power off and remove the miniPCI network card. The card's sub-vendor PCI-ID (which can be seen using lspci -v) is checked against a whitelist in the BIOS. IBM/Lenovo's reasoning for this is that the combination of MiniPCI card and the integrated antenna in the ThinkPad needs to be certified by the US FCC (Federal connect to Communications Commission).1 or similar agencies in other countries. Solutions NOTE! Any of the following solutions should suffice to make the wireless card useable. You only need to perform one of them. It may be possible to use the computer with the unauthorized card deactivated (but not removed). Press F1 to enter the BIOS and deactivate the WLAN card, then attempt to boot with the card disabled. This does not make the wireless card work, can't connect to but it may allow you to boot the computer normally. Modifying the card's ID A safer and better method than modifying the BIOS is modifying the PCI-ID of the wlan card to match the authorized one: You'll risk the wireless card instead of the motherboard. Future BIOS updates will not create any problems. No problem with newer laptops with different BIOS; the only reqirement is to find an ID that is already listed in the BIOS, which can be easily achieved if the community maintaina a compatibility table. The instructions are here (link down, 2011/05/14 - archive.org mirror here, second mirror here). This page is for Atheros-based cards and HP notebooks, but it applies to Thinkpads as well. It also has links on how to edit the PCI-ID on Intel Pro Wireless cards. Instruction for intel 2200/2915 cards are here or here or here (in German). The second one is much simpler because it provides an already patched and compiled ipw2200 driver required to do the job. NOTE! On Linux-based distributions, the driver is loaded based on the PCI-ID. Keep this in mind when "faking" other models. NOTE! Modifying your PCI-ID will require either a laptop without a BIOS lock or a PCI adapter for your desktop. Also, this procedure can render your card useless, but that's better than bri
instead -- and, I actually really like it. It's quite similar to the t61, but a little smaller and lighter. I was worried that the smaller part would be a problem, but I've gotten used to it. I really like the fact that it's much lighter than my old t42. It just makes it seem so much more usable on the go. Lugging out the t42 was always a chore. Anyway, I was at the Office 2.0 conference today, where I was giving a little presentation on the Techdirt Insight Community, and about an hour before the presentation, I went to find a quiet place to practice the presentation… and discovered that my brand new laptop wouldn't work. I knew something was wrong when the "sleep" light wasn't lit. I started to get worried when I plugged in the laptop and the battery light didn't light up. Then I noticed that even though the machine had been asleep, it was really really hot. Pushing the power button did nothing. No lights were on and nothing seemed to get them to turn on. I pulled out the battery and put it back in and that did nothing as well. So I called up IBM support and explained the situation. The guy on the other end then let me in on the secret power button code to revive your dead Thinkpad. After assessing the situation (totally dead laptop) he warned me: "Okay, this is going to sound totally bizarre, but I want you to give this a try…" He then had me unplug the AC adapter and take out the battery. Then, you push the power button 10 times in a row at one second intervals. Next, you push and hold the power button for 30 seconds. Then you put the battery back in and push the power button… and she lives. The computer came back, good as ever. I asked the guy what the power button pushing incantation did and he said "static discharge" so apparently there was some sort of static that caused a short or something. I tried to
