    Can someone please tell me what I need to install the bios that was posted on the previous page for me. It will not install using any windows utility I can find on my T60p due to my Windows 7 X64, so i'm guessing I need a DOS utility. Which do I need?

    Thanks

    Ok. I used Hiren's boot CD and by running mini-XP was able to use the included bios flash program and it worked flawlessly. After it rebooted, I shut down the laptop and installed my Toshiba branded 4965agn wifi adapter along with a third antenna which I ended up putting under the palm rest just right of the finger scanner. After I got it back together, i powered it back up.... only this time with NO BEEPING!! :) Best of all, once in Windows 7 I noticed this card was getting a full 300mbps about 40 feet away from my Engenius ESR-9850 plus it was able to max out my 30 megabit internet connection with ease.

    Again, thank you everyone who helped me get this laptop running properly. This week has been a good one so far. Not only was I given this Thinkpad T60p free of charge by a client I do computer work for, but i must say the build quality of these thinkpads are excellent (minus the palm rest).

    Now if there was only a way to install the 15.4" Truelife LED LCD screen that was from my now fried Dell XPS m1530 (graphics chip defect). Without question, it had one of the best screens i've seen ever.

    Hi,
    I flashed the original and then the mod but still there is no marker in BIOS,
    do you have any other marker tool ?

    It just enables the full SLIC 2.1 that helps you to activate Windows via oem:slp method. Nothing else..
