X60s tablet : screen issues and recovery CD

#1 Post by guylhem » Wed May 28, 2014 1:16 pm

Hello

I recently purchased a mint x60s tablet. It's very nice, in a mint state (no scratches or dents, only the back of the screen has a crack - but a brand new back has just been ordered :-)

There're only 2 problems :
- the screen tilts when I press with finger on the top of the left or the right corner.

Is this normal, or should the hinge get replaced?

- there was no HD or recovery CD.

I used a brand new SSD, and installed a debian just fine, but I'd like to test XP tablet - especially since I have a valid license sticker on the ram door, and I'm curious to see how well XP would perform with coreboot (something that allows you to boot your X60 in less than 10 seconds with linux - see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HKdLhbmjrDI)

I'll be glad to report results here if anyone is interested in a very fast boot.

Could anyone please give me the ISOs to perform a recovery, by PM or email (to thinkpads at guylhem dot net)?

Thanks in avance!

There are no X60s [or X61s] tablets!
You only have these 3 models: X60, X60s, X60t(ablet) [or the newer X61, X61s, X61t(ablet)].
It's advisable to replace that (tilting) hinge, X60t and X61t use the same hinge.
Or maybe just some screws have come lose or are missing.
Your best bet for recovery stuff might be: https://www.lenovorecovery.com/Extranet/PriceList.aspx
They are in Europe.

It says X60, it's a tablet, but on the linux forums I checked it is refered as a X60s tablet - sorry for the confusion.

Thanks a lot for the link - just ordered there my recovery CDs !
