The 2008 X61 notebook of an old friend in 2015 is a classic model of thinkpad that year, and now it boots like an old cow, the fan sound is like a tractor, inexplicably crashing, and the wireless network card does not work.

So a modification plan is made according to the situation:

- Upgrade HDD to SSD

- Memory module upgraded from DDR533 to DDR667

- Clean the fan and replace the CPU cooling silicone

- Look for faulty wireless card

- Change WinXP piracy to automatically activate Win7 flagship genuine version

First replace the hard disk, replace the 5400 rpm mechanical hard disk, and the actual internal transmission rate is 30M/s.

Replace Samsung SSD with a transfer rate of 250M/s.

However, the original notebook BIOS only supports SATA1 full speed and only reaches 100M/s, but the motherboard chip supports SATA2, so it must be flashed to support SATA2 BIOS version full speed can reach 250M/s, which is the main reason why many people upgrade SSDs do not feel much speed improvement, and do not change the speed limit setting of the BIOS.

Flashing the X61 corresponding BIOS to select the FN key and the ctrl key to switch versions, because the original keyboard fn key is very anti-human, often fn misoperated as Ctrl key. After flashing the firmware, the redo system compared the win10 and win7 speeds, and found that X61 and win7 matched well. However, neither Win10 or Win7 nor WinXP wireless card can work, judging that it is a hardware problem. So the machine must be disassembled.

After observation, it was found that the wireless network card card slot was installed incorrectly, it is estimated that the old friend must have repaired, and the maintenance personnel inserted the wrong slot with brain damage.

Boot detection wireless network card normal work, fan silent temperature reduced a lot, win7 boot speed is 23 seconds, 7 years ago notebook full of blood resurrection, speed is not inferior to 2015 current high-end notebook.
