Greetings, I also got one of these InvisibleShileds for my x60s. The first shield was significantly oversized (by 5 mm each side) and shipped with only 2 tiny (I mean tiny) sprayflasks of solution which I ran out of half way through installation. As a result, I ended up with a lot of mess on the scr...

The Multi-touch Multi-view screen is definitely up on their Lenovo site as an option for x60T. Check it out for yourself on lenovo.com.

Lenovo service claims such display damage is not under guarantee. This is not true. I took mine in with a much less pervasive problem and they replaced the screen with no hassle (if you do not count the broken bezel and twice replaced motherboard, memory and fan as a hassle :) ). So please pester t...

Let us know how this works out for you. Fred, it worked out for me in the following way -- they finally replaced the mother board, which did take care of the problem with the screen, but in the process they broke the chassis, fixed it with glue and hoped I would not notice it. I did, though, and no...

Brought it to Lenovo service center, they agreed to replace the screen and in the process said to me the mother board also needed to be replaced. I hope they did not screw it up themselves. Still waiting...

Figuerc, thank you for your answer.

I know what you mean, but it is not a pressure mark. It is more like a mole on the backlight layer. It developed on the spot where no pressure is ever applied.

Regards, Today the screen of my x60s all of a sudden developed a gray oval spot about 1.5x2 mm. It is situated visibly below the image layer, somewhere on the white backlight. It is not a dead pixel, and not a speck of dirt on the surface. It does not annoy me by itself, but having them pop up on th...

Anyone tried one of these ShieldZone screen protectors ? Sized for the X60t but should fit the X60, shouldn't it? I would guess it would prevent imprints. I am also curious if anybody tried these on x60s. Moreover, I wonder if I could order a full-body shield with them. From what I could gather, th...

My X60s has about 27 processes running taking up around 180MB PF Usage. Mine has around 70 processes occupying 388MB. :( Which processes and services do you deem to be safe to disable? Also, I noticed that in Windows Task Manager my computer has 8 (!) separate processes by the same name svchost.exe...

There is at least one glitch with 2.07, however, that I have been able to catch so far and which has not been there in the previous BIOS versions. If I put machine to a standby on either battery or AC with the screen deemed down all the way to "0", then after resume the brightness level is always on...

sugo wrote: Did you test the above with 2.06 by chance?

Yes, I did. The standby-resume issue was resolved with 2.06+updates as well, but the wattage is slightly better with 2.07 -- say, by ~ 0.05W.

Id the power consumption problem only related to wake up after standby or does the laptop consumes more power at all time? I installed BIOS 2.07 and gave it a thorough test as far as power consumption. My experience is that, coupled with all other Windows and ThinkPad updates, the new BIOS is: (1) ...

I installed it today and saw no visible improvement.

This is my story: I happened to drop my x60s and it developed a crack on the bezel across the vents. I placed a call and then took it into an IBM/Lenovo local service center. The receptionist was kind of sceptical at first saying they would probably have to give me a quotation. But when I expressed ...

Great to hear that 8) any further updates on the replacement??? Lenovo basically replaced all the damaged parts--eveything. It is nice that they replace damaged plastic parts for free -- and it is not so nice that the machine has so many plastic parts. When I bought it I was under the impression th...

If possible, please show us a photo.

Sorry, Pianowizard, I do not have a camera on me here. However, I doubt it would have done a good job even if i had one.

There is a considerable amount of light leakage on my screen in the form of dark stripes and shades right in the middle. Do you think it qualifies for a replacement?

I use PowerQuest DriveImage 2002. Still works like a charm and yes, it can record images on DVDs.

Tried.

Power consumption is slightly bigger than with 1.11.

The "standby glitch" (the increased power consumption after resuming from standby) is still there.

Video memory is 224 MB as promised.

What else?

Got the same error message a few times as well. PC-Doctor never detected a problem and rebooting would always heal it. Looks like a software glitch rather than a hardware issue.

What was your previous BIOS version that you were using, so we know what you are comparing with? BIOS 1.11 What is the actual power consumption you're seeing with the old/new BIOS versions? BIOS 1.11: min 5.74-6.15W on idling BIOS 2.04: min 5.96-6.60W on idling And yes, the 2.04 version is not immu...

Tried it today. No visible improvement. Rather, power consumption on batteries seems to be slightly increased by ~0.3-0.5 W. Will check it out tomorrow for "standby glitch" then will decide if I want to stay with it. According to IBM/Lenovo support page, versions 2.0x have not been published until 2...

The ultralight LCD is only in the model 1702-94U. It is the lightest model of X60 if I am right. And it is 180nits lumen, the LCD of other X60s model is 150nits. Do you or anybody know FRU part number for UL LCD by any chance? I wonder how much it would cost to buy it and have Lenovo service replac...

Yeah, ideally the less you spin the harddrive the less power you'll consume. I don't run into many problems with virtual memory disabled with 1GB on other machines and with 2GB the only program I use that complains is Photoshop...and that's just a notice at startup. ... I find that the Power Manage...

I watched my battery drain today and doing word processing without WiFi and the wattage went as low as 5.78W. The thing is, there's a certain amount of fluctuation between 5.78-6.3W with the harddrive stopped and when the harddrive spins it can be anywhere between 6.6-9W. Thank you, I applied your ...

Smvp6459, many thanks for your immensely helpful text! I am in the process of applying some of the tweaks you suggested. I do use virtual memory, though, as I have only 1Gb RAM and am not planning to upgrade any time soon. I guess virtual memory could be a relatively big battery hog. It is interesti...

With CPU on lowest, screen on dimmest, wifi off, and the HD spun down the machine consumes just under 6W. At 6W with a full battery, I get estimates of 4+ hours for a full slimline. That's interesing... I wonder how do you manage to get wattage under 6W? I applied every possible tweak to my x60s, d...

I often put my laptop in standby at night, while leaving it in the X6 base. I need to take it with me in the morning. Is there any way to change it so that it does not (a) require you to software undock (via undock button or fn-f9) and (b) does not resume from standby when you undock? This may help...
