Thinkpads Forum

Hi everyone,

By chance, I just happen to poke the status bar on the LCD (the one with the green indicators and "Lenovo T60" logo). The whole area is very warm, if not pretty hot, compared to the rest of the laptop. Im wondering if this is something to be concerned about. Thanks!

It's the same on my X31 and on every other recent ThinkPad that I have checked.

hehe...thanks tom! I never really noticed it before so I was concerned.
