My laptop is being sent in for repairs for this as well. I know something's wrong considering my VGA out stopped working, but I tried playing CS:S today for a couple of minutes, and after it crashed, I got a 99C reading on the GPU, and 92C on the CPU. Something is seriously wrong here, and consideri...

Definitely a typo. Though the best "bang-for-the-buck" I've had with thinkpad batteries was in the last recall. Something went wrong in the database of the German company contracted to perform the recall, so now I'm typing away with two new brand new 9-cells still sitting in the drawer.

Yes I have. I'm inclined to believe that something went haywire with either the connector or the mainboard.

I'll re-install XP and Ubuntu and give it another shot, otherwise simply send it out for repair as soon as I can.

vga out no longer working?

Long story short, I got myself a decent TV a while back, and was planning on using my T60 to watch movies on it. It registered on the screen the first time, looking a little fuzzy, most likely due to the tragic cable I'm using. But after that, I can't get any monitor to register any signal from my l...

Mine have gone wobbly as well lately.. Together with the VGA out no longer working, or the left click button..

Down arrow works sporadically

Hello, just a question, on my keyboard, the down arrow works sporadically, requiring a complete push down before it registers, unlike the rest of they keyboard where you can just touch-type. Do you think lenovo would accept an RMA if only one (seldom used) key has a completely different response fee...

I'd consider anything over 85 to be questionable, but as long as it's below 90, there shouldn't *technically* be anything to worry about, other than that nasty gut feeling that it's too hot.

T60P with flexview, no doubt about it. The raw power argument is rubbish, you can upgrade everything except the gfx, where the FireGL is more than competent.

Not to mention, the flexview is *god-like*.

It should be a simple fix if the bios chip is dead, just pop a new one in, but call Lenovo about it.

A friend had his motherboard, keyboard, hardrive and optical replaced, and ram upgraded for free due to the inconvenience.

I don't see why they didn't just ship him a new one. Two weeks later this same machine was on its way back for repair due to hangs at boot.

Hello, I just had the company administering the recall for Europe send me *another* battery, asking me to return the previous one. I had already gotten a replacement for my "defective" Sanyo one - is there something wrong with the Panasonic one or is it some clerical error that leaves me with a bran...

Chances are, it's the new chicony - which has been noted as a very good keyboard.

At the end of the day, decide whether you like it's touch - though I see the bling bling attached to having an authentic NMB... The last of the breed.. :D
