Tips

RAM

PC2700 RAM can be used in the T30, but it will only run at PC2100 speeds.

Memory slot failure

The T30 has a design flaw that results in one of the two memory slots eventually failing.

Kernel Panic

Installing a 1 GB memory module may cause a Linux kernel panic on boot. This can be overcome with the uppermem GRUB command: grub> uppermem 524288

However, uppermem may not be implemented in GRUB2.

Battery

The Thinkpad T30's original battery codes are: 02K7033, 02K7034, 02K7035, 02K7037, 02K7038, 02K7050, 02K7051, 02K7072, 02K7073
