There's a writeup about that USB Killer on hackaday http://hackaday.com/2015/10/10/the-usb- ... rsion-2-0/, and it said that there's a replacement board on the way so the X60 will be up and running again.

OTOH, they should have tried it on a more disposable laptop instead of wrecking a Thinkpad just to prove a point. :x
Daily driver: X220 4291-P79 i5-2520M

In reserve: X61 T7500, X60 T2300
In pieces: X60s CS U1300 [board only], two retired but working X61Ts
RIP: 760XD 9546-U9E
