The left mouse button does not work on my IBM

Try a power adapter with more amperage. When you connect a dock, the 3 amp adapter that comes with IBM laptops will not have enough power for lots of add-ons. You'll need the 4 amp adapter.

Hi,

Getting the drivers for your computer is easy. Please click on this link http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/MIGR-55029.html.

Thank you for visiting FixYa!

Was audio working fine with XP SP2?

Try some other driver.

the 3 buttons above are what we call TrackPoint button. and the other 2 buttons below are what we call touchpad buttons. TrackPoint and touch pad buttons provide functions similar to those of a mouse and its buttons. hope this will really help you. thanks

You can get the stuff off your old drive in your broken laptop... Well thats if it isn't faulty, but if OK, you can take the drive out and connect it up via an inexpensive SATA to USB adapter, then you can just use the drive as normal drive. You connect up the drive & plug it into a USB port & it will show up in MY Computer as a drive.

get a PCMCIA USB port, I have one with 2 ports, I have seen them with as many as 4, and I found mine on ebay, though most electronics stores would have them, you can also get them with firewire ports, too

have you tried dong an OS re-install with another hard drive? this is one way to verify if the USB port is really bad...you need to isolate the software-caused and hardware-caused problems.

Well he shorted out the regulator inside that tells the unit the battery needs to be recharged in witch transfers it to AC current, on this unit the rugulator is implemented in the motherboard and that wold not be practical ether to replace unless you find one for parts on www.ebay.com for cheap and do it yourself that would be the only way that would cost you less money- thanks

Btw, I’m available to help over the phone in case u need at https://www.6ya.com/expert/edwy_1a56970cf1ea4620

Just go to the network connections and disable the wireless whenever u dont need wireless..... and check the ethernet drivers are installed or not..from device manager

U can download new version drivers from ibm site..

I think the LCD screen is not working properly. The only solution is to replace it.
You can find replacement LCD screens for IBM R51 here:
