Good job on getting the sticky keys fixed. 8)

I remember the first time I opened up a laptop for some serious work on its internals. I was very nervous. That was years ago and now I don't hesitate to crack open a laptop. I've worked on hundreds of them and it is kind of fun to see how different manufacturers put them together.

I know the feeling :)

My next step will be to replace the Japanese keyboard from my X41 to a EU (UK) one. Should be really dead-easy now :wink:

I've ordered the keyboard from an Ebay seller from HK, let's see how long does it take to arrive to Switzerland...

Cheers!

I was nervous the first couple of times as well. Now I don't think twice about opening them up when something goes wrong!
I think I'm going to do the Bluetooth mod in the next couple of weekends. (USB adapter mounted inside the case) just need work to slow down a bit as I use my old X41T 10 hours a day for work!

I'm having a problem with Windows 7 in my X31.

Some days ago I upgraded to Windows 7 Ultimate and did a clean install. I installed the ATI drivers from the Lenovo site, but now windows cannot compute the WEI, I keep getting the following error message:

The funny thing is that it worked before when I was still using W7 home premium and the same drivers.

Does anybody have any ideas/thoughts? It looks weird for me...

Cheers

I'd lean to rinsing with pure alcohol after washing.
