I'm afraid X41 is one of the models where this hack does not work. See thinkwiki for details.

I tried the 'no-1802.com' by booting my laptop into DOS mode via a floppy disk. I run the 'no-1802.com' and had a response 'no1802(C) 2004 congenio GmbH 1802 No-error bit is set now!'. Then I reboot my laptop, unfortunely the 'error 1802:' still existed. My model is X41 2525-EV1'. Anything else I can do? Pls. help. Michael

Does this work on the newer thinkpads? Like the x200 or the t400?

So far I have not heard of anyone that needed to revert the effects of no1802. The worst that happened so far was that it would not really affect anything. So, even if it does not work for you, you should still be able to install an "approved" card.

Is this reversible? Suppose I try no1802, but it doesn't work. Can I get it back to what it was before? If yes, how?

Worked great on my A31. All I did was put it on a floppy, book my laptop into DOS mode using an old W98 Boot Disk, inserted the floppy with the no1802, ran the program and no more error! This was much easier than the ethtool method I used on my old thinkpad and the command-tab instructions floating around. Thanks much!

Worked great on an X31 type 2884. I created a USB stick formatted using the instructions/files at
http://www.lowfps.com/creating-a-bootable-usb-thumb-drive,
copied no1802.com to the drive, set the Thinkpad to boot from the USB HDD, and it worked the first time! Thanks for the tip.
