Lenovo x60 wireless problem

Hello!

I'm having lenovo x60. At the start as I bought it wireless was working properly but then after a short while it stoped to find any networks.
I' ve done everything i could think of - double checked BIOS settings (it was off by default) installed all possible updates updated driver in device manager,
I have no more additional ideas left, so some advice might be handy.

    I already tried all that stuff.
    And no luck, bitch doesn't list any wireless networks, even though access point is located few meters away.
    Anyhow thanks for paying time to try to help me.

    I took it to service center and they told that hardware is alright and this is software caused problem, without further explanations.
    Hence I still have no idea what was wrong. Hopefully it wont come back.

Try checking in control panel>system>hardware>device manager>network adapters>wireless adapter: right-click> properties > advanced, whether it says "wireless on" next to the intel sign.
Worked on mine X60.

Verify that the radio is enabled.
It is possible to disable the transmitter of the wireless card without Device Manager showing any problems.
Note: Follow the instructions provided to enable wireless card.

  • Most wireless cards will put an icon in the system tray (the line of icons in the lower right corner of your screen). Right click this icon and it may have a menu option to enable/turn on the wireless radio.
  • Some systems come with a Wireless Radio switch to disable the wireless radios. The wireless radio switch is usually located on the front side of the machine. If you are having difficulties with wireless connections, make sure the Wireless Radio switch is set in the On position.
  • Check for association to an Access Point.
    If you double-click the previously mentioned system tray icon, the configuration utility of the wireless card will appear. This utility will be able to show the status of the wireless card, showing what channel the card is using and what signal strength is being received. It may be difficult to maintain a connection if signal strength is low due to either interference or distance. For example, interference can be caused by 2.4GHz cordless phones, other Access Points in the area, and physical structures such as load bearing walls or metal partitions.
    Note:
    The utility can be used to configure the wireless card settings, but if using Windows XP Zero Configuration or Access Connections, you will need to use those programs to actually configure the wireless card as they will overwrite the setting of the utility.

    this means that the SSID is not being tranmitted for you to see or the connection or a firewall is blocking

Check if there's a physical switch for wireless. The t6x series have them.

My lenovo thinkpad x60 tablet pc was locked, and i can't unlock it at all. can you help me to figure out?

Hi, If you are talking about the Boot, HDD, Bios password, then the only one way to recover it is to implement a chip on the systemboard to shorcut the protection or to contact Lenovo for a systemboard replacement. Otherwise you can check out theses 2 tutorials, with few skill you can make it yourself: -http://www.allservice.ro/forum/viewtopic.php?t=47&start=0 -http://marc.info/?l=full-disclosure&m=111234041830357&w=2 Unfortunalty, no other ways other round.

Lenovo X60 laptop display has stopped working

The backlight is broken. These are small flourescent tube lights about the width of a pencil lead. You dropped the laptop and the bulb broke. It will have to be replaced. The driver has nothing to do with your problem, reinstalling it will not get your picture back.
