Yes, I tried a different power supply with no luck.  I really liked
that notebook.  I guess that I will now need to get another used
thinkpad.  Is there any parts that are worth salvaging that will work
on a Lenovo X61?   I do not think the dock will work.  How about the
CD/DVD burner that is attached to the X31 docking station.  Can I use
this for the Lenovo X61docking station?  I know that I can buy a $10
case from eBay to fit the hard drive and have a shirtpocket size
external hard drive.  If anyone needs some parts from this X31, send
an email request to me and I will consider it.  I still did not make
up my mind what I am  going to do with it.  I have a difficult time
parting with old notebooks for some reason.
