I'd open up the unit, lift and remove the fan/heat sink assembly per the instructional links and Lenovo training videos below and verify all the printing on your latest Nvidia GPU ..... if it has a date code of July 2008 or earlier, then call it in as a valid compliant.  Lenovo is committed to weeding those old defective GPUs out of the system, yet some of their Contract depot repair centers are less than committed to that high level of customer satisfaction.

 

It is an easy thing to check and while you are at it, also replace the cheap thermal grease the depots use with some good Arctic Silver 5 in order to really keep things cooler (as suggested by Mark Lenovo regarding the AS-5 thermal compound).

 

Here you go:

________________________________


Hi eecon. Good to hear from you again. Unfortunately, here in Mexico things are quite different, plus the process has changed. Previously you called an 800 number in Argentina (!) and they arranged with the Mexican depot repair in Guadalajara to UPS a box to you to send your machine in. Everything traveled by surface and the round trip could take 2 weeks.

 

Recently, the procedure changed. You still call Argentina but they contact a local repair shop, in this case in downtown Cancun, who then calls you and tells you to carry the machine in.

 

The local repair shop does not stock any parts. They order what they need, in this case a system board, from the Lenovo facility in Guadalajara. There is no guarantee that Guadalajara has the part, and it may have to come from the US.

 

As I previously posted, the last system board had a defective pointer set, so no TrackPoint or TrackPad. I just received an email from the repair shop stating the the second system board (the 5th replacement) has a dead 1394 port and that they've requested yet another replacement from Lenovo. This is the third week the machine has been  out of service for this repair.

 

As far as opening the machine to remove the heatsink and replace the thermal paste, that's a definite no-no. The machine is under warranty for another year. Here in Mexico any evidence of opening the machine other than replacing a hard disc or installing memory is a definite warranty voider. As long as Lenovo is paying for the fix I'm not going to risk voiding the warranty.

 

Nevertheless, I am disappointed at the lack of QC and this round of repairs, now in excess of 21 days, assuming the usual 11 month life of the GPU, will probably be my last round of business with Lenovo.

Mixz1 ..... With the repair being made locally you won't need to open the machine when the next mainboard arrives. Just ask to look at the new mainboard when you take your machine in before they install it ...... the Nividia GPU chip always comes pre-mounted and soldered on the mainboard and it is exposed, so you can just look at it before they install the board.

Pay close attention to the printed info on top of that chip .... the date code will be just below "Nvidia" on the second line to the right expressed as 1030A2 (30th week of 2010 in my case). Just make sure it is at least 0830 or newer (30th week of 2008).

If not, tell them you want it repaired in accordance with MIGR-75087 which calls for the newer Nvidia GPU. Tell the shop to hold on the repair until you call back customer service if they sent a mainboard with the older Nvidia chip.

I am very serious about this ...... do not let them put an outdated Nvidia chip back in.

Re: T61p exhibiting 1 long and 2 short beep and black screen

Thanks. Again, that's not the way things work here. Nevertheless, I've contacted the shop with the document number and the date code info. They understand and they will contact Lenovo. I've asked to see the next mobo before it's installed. Since the machine is disassembled, there's no way that it's in my custody -Smiley Happy.

Re: T61p exhibiting 1 long and 2 short beep and black screen

As long is you get to see the next mobo before it is installed is all that matters .... also, ask the shop to let you see the old board once you go to PU the finished repair ..... It would be nice to see if the old board had a newer Nvidia chip.

Re: T61p exhibiting 1 long and 2 short beep and black screen

Important info: I just applied Arctic silver 5 thermal paste to my T61 7665-12G with the 41W1489 mainboard, and cleaned it for dust. That made the temperature drop to 44-49C at startup.

The temperature kept on 49-53C at normal use, when using TPfancontrol 0.62.

 

Then I upgraded my bios from 1.14-106 to 2.29-108 and the temperature increased to 66C at startup, maybe that is what causes the videochip to come loose.

 

Now I had to modify my TPFancontrol.ini to run 64(full speed) at startup so the temp comes down, and right now its on 49C with fan 7 - where before the bios upgrade it were on 44C on fan 4.

 

As of now the temperature never comes down to 44C, after the bios update! And the lowest the GPU comes down to is 44C, whereas before it came all the way down to 36C.

 

Mark could you look into this? I wanted to PM you but that option is not there anymore.

 

The whole idea of bios update is to solve problems, not to increase heat! So there is something different in the 2.29-108 from the 1.14-106 - something that causes heat increase.

 

With kind regards

Re: T61p exhibiting 1 long and 2 short beep and black screen

[ Edited ]

I'm using the latest 2.29-1.08 BIOS on two 15.4" T61p units running WinXP Pro SP3 (that have the "good" late date Nvidia FX570M GPUs) w/o any fan control utilities other than the latest Lenovo Power Manager.

 

At 24°C room temp they both idle at 56°-58°C ...... during very torturous extreme stressing they max out around 71°-72°C (and this is with the cheap original factory thermal paste).   Both units are also docked with the screen lids closed which also holds in more heat that normal (I use external monitors and keyboards).  I will switch to Arctic Silver 5 once my factory warranties expire in August 2012.

 

However, I would not be too worried about your temps as long as you only power/off once or twice a day to minimize heat cycling down to cold state ..... IMHO, it is going to a cold state many times per day (including standby) which creates the trouble on the older vulnerable Nvidia GPUs, not whether you power-up to either 45° or 55° or 65°C.

Re: T61p exhibiting 1 long and 2 short beep and black screen

Hmm, I still think that the increase in heat is suspicious just because of a bios upgrade.

 

I have to ask you eecon, since you seem to be the expert in this matter. Would it be dangerous to use a notebook cooler?

 

Otherwise I'm looking to buy Targus Chill matt.

 

Also I'm trying to find a replacemnet board, for a resonable price - they are outragous high on ebaySmiley Sad

Jan ..... Welcome to the Forum.

 

Although I'm no expert, I'd certainly do everything possible to keep the GPU cool and a notebook cooler certain can do no harm.

 

Also:  

 

1.  Keep the unit's fan clean;

 

2. Avoid using it on dusty places like carpets or bedspreads where lots of lint and dust can quickly clog the cooling system;

 

3. Since you went from a very old BIOS to the newest version in one step, you may wish to go back to the Lenovo site and see if there may have been an intermediate BIOS version or other downloadable items required prior to flashing to the v2.29-1.08 BIOS (review all its BIOS release notes for driver requirements, etc needed for the latest version);

 

4. Minimize the cold-to-hot cycling as much as practical;

 

5. Try re-downloading and reflashing the BIOS .... it is possible you may have gotten a bad file or a bad flash.

 

I would be caution of any replacement mainboard you may consider ...... make sure the Nvidia GPU that comes pre-mounted on it has an August 2008 or later date code marked right on top of the chip (i.e. code 0830A2 or newer .... YR.WK.A2) .... My mainboard was replaced on my July 2008 Built T61p after the GPU failed (via onsite warranty) with an Nivida GPU date code of 1030A2 (from the 30th week of 2010).  I do not know the date code on my August 2008 Built unit, however Lenovo (Mark_Lenovo) advised that all the bad Nvidia GPUs were pulled from the assembly process for August 2008 built units or later (July 2008 units were the transition month with some good and some bad Nvidia GPUs).   I'm very tempted to open up my August 2008 built T61p and take a peak (even though I have one year of factory warranty remaining ..... on both units).

 

BTW, what OS are you using?

Hi eecon, don't worry about the mainboard since the one I'm going to get is with the Intel x3100, I'm done with nvidia - I will never buy any of their cards again - and since I build pc's for a living that says allot.

 

Regarding keeping the laptop clean and where to use it, that I do knowSmiley Happy

 

I'm pretty sure the bios was ok and that it flashed ok since I got the Bootable CD and followed the processSmiley Happy I think the reason you didn't see a change in temp. is that you have a different model, that is physically bigger than mine. More space for air.

 

It were the soldering probleme I were not familiar with and therefore asked hereSmiley Happy I think I got that covered now thanks to youSmiley Happy

 

I'm using win 7 Sp1, and for those with the same model who wants to install Win 7, then immediately after install Sp1. That will bring temp down from around 75 degrees Celsius in normal use, to around 65.

 

And install TPFancontrol from here http://www.staff.uni-marburg.de/~schmitzr/donate.html

that should bring the temp. down to 56-60 durring normal use. Just install it, but don't run it as a service, since a service can hang. 

Run it on startup by putting a shortcut to it into the Startup folder in the Startmenu, then it will work just fine.

 

Also keep a shortcut to it on the desktop.

 

If you use my settings, look under my signature, then the temp should be between 45 and 56 durring normal use and up to 68 when stressed.

After you installed TPFancontrol then look in the program folder for "Edit TPFancontrol.ini" and click on it. Then replace the text with the following and save it. Then start TPFancontrol:

As long is you get to see the next mobo before it is installed is all that matters .... also, ask the shop to let you see the old board once you go to PU the finished repair ..... It would be nice to see if the old board had a newer Nvidia chip.

Ha. Now I've lost complete control over the machine. I was informed by the local depot that the machine has been shipped off to Lenovo USA and they are awaiting its return. It seems that every system board they've put in has a different problem. Based on the contents of the MIG, they contacted Lenovo USA and this is the result. I suppose one day I'll find this funny.
