20 Most Recent IBM ThinkPad R50e Notebook Questions & Answers

Need to make laptop notebook packard bell dvd region free locked on o1

You can only change the region code up to 4 times then it locks on the last change.
There are some firmware upgrades that can change the drive to region free, if you can screw it up or put in the wrong frmware upgrade then the DVD drive will be a piece on junk.
I suggest you install a region free software that will allow you to play any region DVDs.
Go to www.dvdidle.com to get their Region-Free software, it is not very expensive.

I have ibm thinkpad R50e & win7 pro. 32bit and my mouse pat is not working what to do?

Try re booting. If this doesn't work, check the driver has loaded correctly in device manager. If code 32 then download an updated driver from IBM. If that still doesn't work, the touch pad may be faulty.
Hope that helps.
