I came accross strange thing. Today I spent some time in a cafe browsing internet on their wifi, then hybernated machine and went home.
Once home, I started the machine again, it loaded promptly, I succesfully logged in. But when I tried to get connected to my home wifi I could not, because when I right clicked wireless connections icon in tray it didnt display a context menu, pressing FN-F5 (Lenovo access manager) resulted in hourglass which later dissapered and nothing happened.

In addition to this adjusting display brightness was not working either, it stuck somewhere in the middle and I could not put it to the top level, nor with FN key, neither with power manager.

Apart from that system worked fine.

Any ideas what could it be ?

Thanks all in advance !

IMO it could be two things:
1. Problem with the wifi driver/software after resuming from hybernation (could reflect on the OSD too).
2. (more likely) Problem with your MLC SSD (I assume this since you have a X301) and Vista(?) hybernation. In this case, I would look for BIOS or SSD firmware updates or some Vista(?) fixes. (since you don´t mention what OS you are running, I am assuming it´s Vista).

In case you have XP, there might be some tweaks applying to your specific MLC SSD model.

Cheers,

what is MLC ?

As of now there are two types (technologies) of SSD drives, SLC and MLC. You can find more about this at SSD according to wiki.
