Thinkpads Forum

Had the MB on my x60 replaced. Now I have no OSD for the speaker volume or display brightness. The functions work, just no OSD feedback. Is there a way they could have been disabled while at the service center?

After Planar Card replacement, did you install the Operating System from scratch using Product Recovery disks? or using Retail Windows media? Or just recovered the previous install of Windows?

In any case reinstall, hotkey drivers, ACPI Power Management drivers, display drivers. (Assuming you've Windows XP).

After installation, follow this:

Right Click on Desktop > Properties > Settings > Advanced > On Screen Display > and make OSD is check-marked.

This is a known problem. The brightness OSD on my X61 worked for a while, then totally disappeared. I can still adjust brightness using Fn+Home and Fn+End, just no OSD feedback. OSD for volume, ThinkLight and Fn+F5 still work fine.

Lenovo has no solution for it as of now. (Somebody over in the T6x forum already called.)

I had the same problem. I updated the video driver from Intel directly (not Lenovo), after reboot, it's working. I am not sure this help or no.

I tried reinstalling the video driver from Intel and the Hotkeys driver. No luck.

Did you try windows update for video driver yet? If not, try that. It might help after reboot. Good luck.

This morning I put the computer to sleep by closing the lid. When I woke it up just now, the OSD for brightness came back! Weird.

I think you're using Windows Vista, if so, you may wanna order a set of Windows XP Tablet recovery CDs. It's free from Lenovo Canada. I am not sure US.
