Thank you for your analysis. I'm now using tp-fancontrol script from ThinkWiki to protect my laptop from thermal dead. I never did any support request with Lenovo and don't know how. Situation may be complicated further by fact that I moved from country where this laptop was bought and international warranty don't cover my current country of residence. Anyway, that's unbelievable that manufacturer could cripple working firmware so much, putting laptop in danger of overheating. But on the other hand, that exactly "legendary" quality that Chinese manufacturers are known of. -- Tomasz Torcz [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
