ok, after complete disassembly and cleaning the nearly not dirty fan i had still the same problem.
I think it was because I controlled the fan to be quiet - maybe quiet enough for my ears but little bit too hot now in summer. :-/

so i hoped to fix the problem with reflowing the mainboard in oven ... now it is completely dead. :-/

I have ordered now a new mainboard for the nc2400 - and in same way also a (complete and working) 2510p (as there my ZIF-SSD fits) if i can't fix it by replacing the motherboard, but I think that is faulty now.

Hi All

I have my 2560p up and running and working like a dream EXCEPT a problem has krept in mith my Logitech travelmate v470 bluetooth mouse.

This mouse worked perfectly with my 2540, but now seems to have some sort of delay between moving the mouse adn the cursor following. I have tried replacing the mouse adn the batteries and played with all of the ouse settings and drivers to no avail. I suspect there is something going on with the bluetooth adapter on the notebook - has anybody had this problem or any suggestion on how to resolve

Thanks

Bad news: 2570P has no expresscard slot. Instead, the optical drive and VGA connector have been moved to the right side

If you want an expresscard-based eGPU then suggest look at a 2560P instead.

I think you're looking at the wrong pictures, as far as i can tell nothing has changed: HP EliteBook 2570p - Engadget Galleries

Will the real 2760P please stand up?

HP EliteBook 2570p - Engadget Galleries -> port layout looks identical to a 2560P. Suspect this is just a cut-and-paste of a 2560P picture.

HP EliteBook 2170p and 2570p hands-on - SlashGear -> substantially different port layout and optical drive moved from left to right side. I suspect this is the real 2570P with HP perhaps doing away with the expresscard slot figuring IVB has USB 3.0 native so no need for USB 3.0 expresscards to achieve it.

What SlashGear most likely is showing are 2170p + Folio just like they do here 2170p und Folio: HPs Elitebooks schrumpfen trotz der VGA-Schnittstelle - Golem.de (German)

Yup.. does look like slashgear are confusing things. Good news then is the 2570P and 2560P chassis looks identical. It may very well mean can do a systemboard swap to get IVB cpu support then.

That German link does show a 2170P having a backlit keyboard and being very similar in dimension to a 2560P/2570P keyboard. Might present a retrofit opportunity for 2560P owners

Hi All,
New to post and to Elitebook 2560p. I'm trying to create RAID1 backup drive using eSATA port, however Intel Rapid Storage Utility does nof offer this option. I noticed the BIOS offers RAID option under 'SATA Device Mode' (currently set to AHCI), however when trying to change, I get a warning that the OS may need to be re-installed if setting is changed. Any way to get RAID w/o re-installing Windows?
OS= WinXP Pro, Bios=F22
Thanks!

I wonder why the 2170p wont offer expresscard but it will offer a smartcard reader. I thought those were put in the same area. It would have been the perfect 2530p replacemente. SSD upgrade for me then!
